Mile Higla Zinnias 
Hardy Oriental Poppies 
With every dollar’s worth of seed ordered from this 
catalog before February first, we will include 10 cents’ 
worth of either Dahlia Flowered or Lilliput Zinnia 
seed or a packet of those marvelous Oriental Poppies 
so much admired. You will find these fully described 
on pages 7 6 and 80. You may choose any of the va¬ 
rieties of Dahlia Flowered Zinnias, the Mixed Lilliput 
Zinnias or the Poppies. 
With every two dollars’ worth of seed ordered in 
the month of February, we will include 10c worth of 
Zinnias or Oriental Poppies. 
Some of our customers do not care for a flower gar¬ 
den; therefore we will include the free zinnias or pop¬ 
pies only when your choice is checked on the order 
blank. 
Mountain Grown Seed Beans 
Free from fungous growth, this seed conies to you plump, clean and healthy. 
Grown in our rigorous mountain valleys on rich mountain soil and with clear 
irrigation water supplied at the proper time to develop healthy seed. All 
seed fields are carefully gone over, any off-type plants pulled out and de¬ 
stroyed. This is, indeed, seed for the particular planter. 
Culture. One pound to 200 feet of row; 35 to 40 pounds per acre. 
Beans are among the comparatively few vegetables that yield well on even 
poor soil, although greatest crops are gathered in moderately rich loam. Sow, 
after the ground is quite warm, in rows not less than IS inches apart. Plant 
the seeds three inches apart, and 1% inches deep. Never walk between the 
rows or attempt to cultivate them or to gather the crop while the vines are 
wet, as this will spread rust. 
Wax or Yellow Podded Beans 
The Wax-Podded varieties have a buttery flavor which the Green-Podded 
do not have, but usually people tire of the Wax varieties sooner than the 
green pod; to many the Wax pods have a more attractive appearance. 
284 Improved. Golden Wax. (53 days.) A real early, stringless type that is 
standard for the home garden. Supe¬ 
rior quality, flat, straight pods, 4 inches 
long. Light colored vines grow 10 
inches high. Seeds white and purple. 
Pkt, 5c; y z lb, 25c; lb, 35c, postpaid. 
285 Mile High Treasure Chest Wax. 
(50 days.) It has everything—earli¬ 
ness, the very best quality, extra 
length of pod, disease resistance, 
heavy yield and a whiter bean. The 
vine is very similar to that of Im¬ 
proved Golden Wax but is a little tall¬ 
er. The pods are flat, a beautiful gol¬ 
den yellow, and are both broader and 
longer than any others of its typ6. 
Seeds almost pure white, small brown 
eye. A small trial will show you its 
worth. Pkt, 10c; y 2 lb, 30c; ib, 50c. 
283 Sure Crop Bountiful Wax. (57 days.) 
Popular market and home variety. 
Rustproof and prolific, pods flat, 6%

Improved Golden Wax, 
inches long. Black seeds. 
lb, 25c; lb, 35c, postpaid. 
281 Bound Pod Kidney Wax or Brittle Wax. (59 days.) A bean of 
superb quality and surprisingly productive. Pods are very tender, 
entirely stringless and meaty; well suited to all purposes—home 
gardens, markets, and the finest wax pod bean for canning because 
of its white seed, which has only a small brown eye marking. Deep 
yellow, stringless pods, 5 inches long, round and slightly curved. 
Dark vines, 15 inches high. Pkt, 5c; y z lb, 25c; lb, 35c, postpaid. 
286 Pencil Pod Black Wax. (59 days.) Stringless, thick, meaty pods; 
an excellent second early variety for home garden or market. A little 
more vigorous growing and productive than Round Pod Kidney or 
Brittle Wax. Deep yellow, round pods are 6 inches long, round, 
slightly curved. Pods are fine quality and entirely stringless. Dark, 
vigorous vines. 15 inches high. Seeds jet black. Pkt, 5c; y z lb, 25c; 
lb, 35c, postpaid.
