BRECK’S TEWKSBURY DWARF 
HORTICULTURAL BUSH BEANS 
Due to the unusual beauty and size of its pods, this 
variety brings consistently higher prices than any other 
Horticultural Bean sold on the Boston Market. When 
ready to pick, the yellowish surfaces of the pods are 
beautifully marbled and splashed with bright crimson. 
The vines bear great numbers of long pods, inclined to 
curve slightly, generally containing six beans each, 
although seven are not unusual. Until they have 
attained full size the pods are comparatively dull and 
inconspicuous, the color intensifying rapidly as maturity 
is reached. It is characteristic of the vines to throw 
out tendrils like those of pole beans, but the plants are 
distinctly dwarf and upright, displaying no tendency to 
climb or sprawl over the ground. The variety was 
developed by Mr. French, of Tewksbury, Mass , some 
years ago ; since then its growth has been confined to 
certain localities in the neighborhood of Boston. It is 
the leader of the Horticultural Bush Beans and may be 
distinguished easily from other varieties. In the cut at 
the top of the page a single plant is shown; the pods at 
the left are actual size. Our seed stock, which is of the 
original strain and true to type, is grown expressly for 
us by one of the most experienced bean specialists in 
this State. Pkt. 15 cts., Pt. 30 cts., Qt. 50 cts. 
BRECK’S CRACKERJACK 
WAX BUSH BEANS 
For about ten years this Bean of great merit has 
been a money-maker for market gardeners in the West. 
We feel confident that when the variety becomes gener¬ 
ally known, its merits will make it a leader on New Eng¬ 
land markets. It is a profuse bearer and the beans ship 
remarkably well. The plants are strong and erect, bear¬ 
ing bunches of _pods well above the ground. The pods, 
which ripen fully as early as those of Ward well’s Kidney 
Wax, resemble them in shape, but are rounder and more 
fleshy; they are of a handsome, bright golden yellow 
peculiar to the variety. The beans are yellow. 
Pkt. 15 cts., Pt. 30 cts., Qt. 50 cts.

Gentlemen: — The seeds you sent me last spring have 
proved very satisfactory, especially Old Glory Pea. It is a 
splendid early variety.
