A Crop Which Netted a Profit. Another Instance of the Results Obtained from Choosing RICE'S Seeds 
DWARF GREEN PODDED VARIETIES 
BLACK VALENTINE —A very vigorous sort with beau¬ 
tiful long, slender, round, straight pods of a dark green 
color. Highly recommended as an extra early gard¬ 
ener’s variety, but not desirable for the home garden 
because of its stringiness. 
BLACK VALENTINE STRINGLESS— Pods not so round¬ 
ed as old type; it is almost as early and pods are free 
from strings. 
BOSTON SMALL PEA — The Navy Bean of commerce; 
grown largely as a field variety for the dry seed. 
BOUNTIFUL —A most desirable sort for either the 
home or market garden. Very early, hardy, vigorous 
and productive, with long, thick, flat and slightly 
curved pods; entirely stringless and light green in 
color. 
BROAD WINDSOR, or FAVA BEAN —The English 
“Broad Bean”; the largest and best of its class. 
FRENCH'S HORTICULTURAL —One of the most at¬ 
tractive of the Dwarf Horticultural family. Vine erect, 
straight and compact, with a tendency to throw out 
short runners. Pods prolific, 8 inches long, broad, 
and distinctly marked with a very vivid crimson. 
FULL MEASURE — One of the best and most satisfac¬ 
tory of the stringless, green-podded snap beans. A 
very early, productive, high quality variety, with long, 
straight, fleshy, round pods and entirely without 
strings. Excellent for either market or home garden. 
LARGE WHITE KIDNEY — A most excellent white, 
kidney-shaped field bean. One of the best sorts for 
baking. 
LARGE WHITE MARROW — Large oval-shaped white 
beans. Grown very largely as a field crop. 
LOW'S CHAMPION BUSH — A very old variety of the 
Horticultural type, sometimes known as Red Cran¬ 
berry. Pods long, deep green, very flat, straight, 
stringless, tender and of excellent quality. 
RED KIDNEY — Quite like the White Kidney except 
the beans are deep red in color. 
RED VALENTINE, STRINGLESS —A stringless selec¬ 
tion of Early Red Valentine. 
RED VALENTINE, IMPROVED EARLY —A very hardy, 
early and productive standard sort. Pods \ x /<i inches 
long, round and crease-backed, medium green, slightly 
stringy, and of good quality. 
REFUGEE STRINGLESS — Same season as old Refu¬ 
gee, but because of its stringless character is now the 
most popular. 
REFUGEE, or THOUSAND-TO-ONE — A very produc¬ 
tive, hardy, vigorous late sort, much in favor with the 
canning trade, and popular in the South for late plant¬ 
ing for shipment to Northern markets. 
STRINGLESS GREEN POD, BURPEE'S — This is also 
a very excellent round-podded, stringless variety and 
a popular favorite. The pods are not as long as Full 
Measure but are equally desirable. 
STRINGLESS GREEN POD, GIANT — Somewhat simi¬ 
lar to Burpee’s Stringless, but the pod is longer, 
straighter, more slender and slightly lighter in color; 
early, hardy, and of the highest quality. 
TENDERGREEN, HENDERSON'S — A splendid new, 
round-podded variety whose long pods are entirely 
stringless. An improved Full Measure. 
TENNESSEE GREEN POD, or BROWN BUNCH — One 
of the very earliest green-podded beans. Popular in 
the South, where it is also known as Dwarf Kentucky 
Wonder. Pods 7 inches long, broad, very irregular in 
shape and dark green in color; nearly stringless; fine 
quality.
