NOTE—If your order including beans amounts to $20.00 or more, we will pay transportation on 
beans in quantities listed "not paid." See inside front cover. 
Dwarf or Bush Varieties 
A “ packet ” of bush beans will plant 20 feet of row; a pound 150 feet. Sow 60 to 75 lbs. per acre. 
1 lb. is equal to a pint, 2 lbs. 1 qt., 15 lbs. a peck. 
Grow plenty of beans. “Snap” or “String” 
Beans are one of the mainstays of the home gar¬ 
den. They are very easy to grow and take up 
comparatively little room. Successive sowing 
made every few weeks will give you plenty of 
fine beans right up until frost. 
Plant in rows 2 to 2}/% feet apart, dropping the 
seed 2 inches apart, or in groups of 3 to 4 at inter¬ 
vals of a foot in the row which makes hoeing 
easier. Do not plant until the ground is warm. 
In New York State and New England May 10th 
to 20th is early enough. 
From the innumerable varieties of garden 
beans, we have selected those listed below as the 
kinds which will be the most satisfactory to our 
customers. Our stocks of these varieties are 
carefully selected for purity and trueness to type. 
Dwarf Wax or Butter Beans 
Round-Pod Kidney Wax or “Brittle Wax.” Like 
Wardwell’s, but has round pods 5-6 inches long, string- 
less and of finest quality. 
Pkt. 10c; 1/2 Lb. 25c; Lb. 40c; 2 Lbs. 70c; 7l/ 2 Lbs. 
$2.10 transportation paid. Not paid: 15 Lbs. $3.00; 
60 Lbs. (Bu.) $10.20. 
UNRIVALLED WAX. Very early, with long nearly round 
clear yellow pods. It is stringless when young and very 
vigorous and prolific. A profitable market bean but not 
of the best quality for home use. 
Pkt. 10c; 14 Lb. 25c; Lb. 40c; 2 Lbs. 70c; 7l/ 2 Lbs.

Green Podded Dwarf or Bush Beans 
Sure Crop BlackWax 
( Photo about two-thirds natural size ) 
SURE CROP WAX. The Best Flat-Podded Wax. An improved Currie’s Rust-Proof which has 
longer pods of better quality, and yields more than that variety. The pods are long, deep yellow, 
stringless, of fine quality, and usually are free from rust. This is a very popular and desirable 
market variety. It is so superior to the Currie’s Rust-Proof that we have discontinued that kind. 
Pkt. 10c; y 2 Lb. 25c; Lb. 40c; 2 Lbs. 70c; 7% Lbs. $1.95 transportation paid. Not paid: 
15 Lbs. $2.70; 60 Lbs. (Bu.) $9.00. 
PENCIL POD BLACK WAX. The Best Round Podded Wax Bean. This is considered without 
doubt the best round pod wax bean both for home use and market. The pods are 6 to 7 inches long, 
straight and as round as a pencil. The pods are clear yellow, very brittle, stringless and of the 
finest quality. Matures early and the plant is vigorous and productive. The seed is black. 
Pkt. 10c; x /i Lb. 25c; Lb. 40c; 2 Lbs. 70c; 7y 2 Lbs. $1.95 transportation paid. Not paid: 
15 Lbs. $2.70; 60 Lbs. (Bu.) $9.00. 
WEBBER WAX also called “Cracker Jack” or “Wonder Wax.” 
The Earliest Wax Bean. Pods are long, straight, flat stringless, clear 
yellow and of fine quality. Very prolific, and one of the most profit¬ 
able market varieties on account of its earliness. 
Pkt. 10c; V 2 Lb. 25c; Lb. 40c; 2 Lbs. 70c; 7^ Lbs. $1.95 trans¬ 
portation paid. Not paid: 15 Lbs. $2.70; 60 Lbs. (Bu.) $9.00. 
Wardwell’s Kidney Wax. Very large, broad flat pods of deep butter 
yellow. Early and of high quality. One of the best “butter beans” 
but somewhat apt to “rust” in wet weather.

BOUNTIFUL. The Best Flat-Podded Green Bean. 
This is one of the earliest green pod varieties. The pods 
are handsome, long, straight, flat and entirely stringless. 
It is very productive and continues in bearing a long 
time. One of the best market and home garden varieties. 
Our seed is grown in disease free fields from a carefully 
selected heavy yielding stock. There is no better stock 
obtainable. 
Pkt. 10c; V 2 Lb. 25c; Lb. 35c; 2 Lbs. 60c; 7y 2 Lbs. 
$1.85 transportation paid. Not paid: 15 Lbs. $2.55; 
60 Lbs. (Bu.) $8.40. 
STRINGLESS BLACK VALENTINE—(Asgrow). This 
new bean has become very popular in recent years, 
because in addition to its high quality it is a very heavy 
yielder. The pods are entirely stringless and when young 
are nearly round, long, straight, very tender and of good 
flavor. The pods become somewhat flattened as they 
grow older. It is early, vigorous and one of the most 
prolific varieties we know.

pearance but not stringless.

An astonishing amount of vegetables can be grown 
on small plots of ground by intercropping and 
planting succession crops. Quick growing vegetables 
such as radishes, leaf lettuce, spinach, green onions 
from sets or plants, etc., can be planted between 
varieties such as peas, beans, tomatoes and corn, 
etc., which require wider rows. Plan to follow the 
early crops with vegetables for fall and winter use, 
such as Iceberg lettuce, spinach, kohl rabi, turnips 
and others. Many combinations can be worked out.
