BEANS Green Bush 
Schell’s Pure-Bred High-Yielding Strains 
See page 3 , How to Grow Beans 
IMPORTANT! Seed Bean crops were very small last year 
throughout all the United States, some only half a normal crop, 
others less than half. We increased our acreage so we have a 
fair supply, and OUR PRICES are NOT higher but LESS than 
last year. Remember, also, that Schell’s Strains are pure-bred 
and higher-yielding, therefore not to be compared in price to 
ordinary seed. 
SOUP or SHELL BEANS 
White Marrowfat or Soup Bean. Bush. Shelled and dried for winter use. 
White Navy Bean. Bush. Also called Pea Bean or Snow Flake. This is smaller in size than the 
White Marrowfat.

White Kidney. Bush. The Beans are white and larger than either the Navy or White Marrowfat.

“For better yields, try better Seeds—plant Schell’s.” 
So says Boyd M. Trescott, Drexel Hill, Pa., a winner in 
our Prize Slogan Contest. 
Schell’s Strain of Bountiful Beans yields tremendously be¬ 
cause it just has to—it is bred in it. Why be satisfied with an 
ordinary crop when one, two, or three times as large can be yours 
at no more cost if you plant our pure-bred strain? 
SCHELL’S GREEN BOUNTIFUL is now acknowledged to 
be the earliest and best in quality and heaviest in yield 
of all the flat stringless podded varieties. Because the pods 
remain in good condition for a long time, it is the leading 
Bean for shipping. It is ready to pick in 42 to 46 days from 
planting here in Pennsylvania. The pods, averaging 7 inches 
long, are of excellent quality, brittle, stringless, and 
quite meaty. Bountiful is 3 to 5 days earlier than Burpee 
Stringless Green-Pod; 5 to 7 days earlier than Schell’s Giant 
Stringless; and 15 days earlier than Schell’s 
Stringless Refugee. Pkt. 10 cts.; Klb. 20 cts.; 
lb. 35 cts.; 2 lbs. 60 cts.; 5 lbs. $1.10; xo lbs. 
$2, postpaid. By freight, 15 lbs. $2.40; 
30 lbs. $4.50; 60 lbs. $8.70; 100 lbs. $14. 
BURPEE STRINGLESS GREEN-POD. The 
earliest round-pod, ready to pick in 45 to 
50 days from planting. The plants are very 
prolific; pods are round and thick, average 
5 inches long, entirely stringless, excellent 
quality, brittle and very fleshy. Pkt. 
10 cts.; y 2 \h. 20 cts.; lb. 35 cts.; 2 lbs. 
60 cts.; 5 lbs. $1.10; 10 lbs. $2, postpaid. 
By freight, 15 lbs. $2.40; 30 lbs. $ 4 - 5 °; 
60 lbs. $8.70; 100 lbs. $14. 
SCHELL’S GIANT STRINGLESS. The 
third of the four best Green-pods. It 
is early, ready to pick in 48 to 53 days. 
The plants are robust, bearing in pro¬ 
fusion long, round pods, averaging 7 
inches, entirely stringless, excel¬ 
lent quality. The long pods make it 
more desirable for canning where the 
Beans are cut than the Burpee String¬ 
less. I highly recommend all of these for both the home-garden and for growing for market. Pkt. 
10 cts.; Klb. 20 cts.; lb. 35 cts.; 2 lbs. 60 cts.; 5 lbs. fi.io; 10 lbs. $2, postpaid. By freight, 15

SCHELL’S REFUGEE or 1,000-TO-l STRINGLESS. This variety yields exceptionally heavy. 
The pods are round, straight, and stringless, and average 6 inches long. It is one of the leading 
Beans for canning and very desirable as well for the home-garden and for market. It is ready to 
pick in 60 to 65 days or about 15 days later than Bountiful. Pkt. 10 cts.; Klb. 20 cts.; lb. 30 cts.;

podded; good quality, and of fine flavor. We now have a stringless strain. About 50 days from

French’s Dwarf Horticultural. Similar to the Dwarf Horticultural; preferred by some because 
of its long tendril, which increases its yield. Pkt. 10 cts.; Klb. 25 cts.; lb. 40 cts.; 2 lbs. 70 cts.; 
5 lbs. $i. 35 ', 10 lbs. $2.50, postpaid. By freight, 15 lbs. $3; 30 lbs. $5.50; 60 lbs. $10.80; 100 lbs. $18.
