GURNEY’S BEANS-STRINGLESS, BRITTLE AND TENDER 
WAX POD BEANS 
• GURNEY’S EVERBEARING WAX 
RUST-PROOF BUSH BEAN 
(50 days to maturity.) The great campaign 
carried on by the government for the canning of 
vegetables applied especially to fresh beans, the 
wax and green podded beans in the pod. This 
created a very heavy demand for beans suitable 
for canning purposes, and you will find this not 
only the very best for canning, but the best for 
using fresh as string or snap beans. Seed is red 
with buff stripes. 16 pt., 15c; 1 lb., 30c; 5 lbs., 
$1.25; Postpaid. Not Prepaid. 10 lbs., $2.00; 
30 lbs., $5.40; 60 lbs., $9.85. 
Plant Plenty of Beans for Canning- 
Pencil Pod Wax, Gurney’s Everbearing 
Wax, Stringless Green Pod and New Ten- 
dergreen are exceptionally fine canning 
varieties. 
CULTURE: planting should be delayed until 
danger of frosts is past. Plant in rows about 
2 feet apart 5 or 6 inches apart in the rows. Keep 
well cultivated but do not cultivate when the 
plants are wet. 
For a succession of this delicious vegetable

August. 1 lb. for 100 feet of row. 60 lbs. per acre.

less in all stages of its growth,
