POLE BEANS. 
"'DICKENSON’S YOUNT— We believe 
this to be the largest of all beans, but not¬ 
withstanding its enormous size it has a fine 
rich flavor when cooked. We have seen the 
pods over one foot in length and nearly one 
inch in diameter. We have tested this bean 
carefully and recommend it to our patrons. 
It is an enormous yicldcr and the quality is 
superb. The pods and seed are light yellow 
striped and mottled with crimson. This is 
a good bean for home canning. 
The longer we grow this remarkable bean 
the better we like it. From personal ex¬ 
perience we find it a splendid canning bean 
and we have never yet tried any variety 
equal to it for- salad purposes. The beans 
can be canned whole and served like aspara¬ 
gus wth mayonnaise dressing. Pkt., 15c; 
Lib., 25c; ib., 45c; postpaid. E. or F, lb., 
40c; 10 lbs., at 38c lb. 
*True Asparagus—While the Kentucky 
Wonder Bean is often known and sold for 
the Asparagus Bean, this is the true Aspara¬ 
gus variety. The pods are fully as long as 
the Kentucky Wonder, but more slender and 
richer in flavor. Seed light drab color. 
This is a very desirable variety and should 
be more planted. Pkt., 15c; lb., 40c; post¬ 
paid. E. or F., lb., 35c; 10 lbs., at 33c lb. 
"■Kentucky Wonder— This is the old stand¬ 
by and is no doubt the heaviest yielder of 
all beans. Often sold as Asparagus bean. A 
string bean with long green pods and light 
brown seeds. It cooks tender and is a good 
all-around bean. Pkt., 15c; lb., 40c; postpaid. 
E. or F., lb., 35c; 10 lbs. at 33c lb. 
"■Kentucky Wonder Wax— This grand new 
pole bean is a wax podded Kentucky Won¬ 
der and many think it is of better flavor. 
W e belieye it is a more vigorous grower and 
will yield fully as heavy as the Kentucky 
W onder. The pods are a light yellow, ex¬ 
tra large, broad and long and cook very ten¬ 
der. We recommend this bean strongly. 
Comparatively early. Pkt., 15c; lb., 40c; post¬ 
paid. E. or F., lb., 35c; 10 lbs. or more at
