For more than half a century I have specialized in 
the production on a large scale of Pure Bred Seed 
Beans. My planting stocks are bred from a single 
specimen plant. I have continually applied the thor¬ 
oughly proven pure-line method of planting whereby 
am able to maintain pure stocks of all varieties listed, 
which stocks I recommend will satisfy in every par¬ 
ticular the most exacting planter. Annually my Pure 
Bred Seed Beans are used by thousands of large com¬ 
mercial shippers throughout the Nation. They are 
also used annually by more than a quarter of a mil¬ 
lion market gardeners and home planters. My prices 
are as low as pure bred seed of equal quality can be 
obtained for anywhere on earth.
