TENDERGREEN 
Can you remember when all “String” Beans 
were yellow podded and stringy? Great improve- 
improvements have been made since that day. 
Due to careful breeding work the strings are 
gone, the quality improved and the green 
podded beans are fast taking the place of the 
yellow varieties. The green varieties in general 
are of better quality than the yellows and 
Tendergreen is the best bush bean we have ever 
found. 
Yellow 
SURE CROP WAX: 53 days, 65 seeds per oz. This 
variety is of only fair quality and is included in our 
variety list because of its popularity as a shipping 
bean. It is a very vigorous growing, productive, flat, 
yellow bean, 6 to 7 inches long. Pkt. 10 cts.; pi lb. 
15 cts.; lb. 25 cts.; 15 lbs. $2.60; 100 lbs. $13.00. 
UNRIVALED WAX: 52 days, 145 seeds per oz. An 
exceptionally attractive yellow podded bean for home 
and market garden use. Pods deep yellow, narrow, 
thick-flat, brittle, stringless when young. Plant 
reasonably vigorous and very productive. Thought 
by some to be somewhat coarse in texture. Pkt. 
10 cts.; ]/2 lb. 15 cts.; lb. 25 cts.; 15 lbs. $2.85; 
100 lbs. $15.20. 
Green Varieties 
* TENDERGREEN : 54 days, 65 seeds per oz. We 
have never found a bush snap bean that equals 
Tendergreen for quality. It yields well and in some 
tests has done better than Giant Green Pod. The 
pods are 6 to 7 inches long, smooth, round as a pencil, 
entirely stringless, light green color and very meaty. 
A good canning variety. Pkt. 10 cts.; % lb. 15 
cts.; lb. 25 cts.; 15 lbs. $2.55; 100 lbs. $13.00. 
* CERTIFIED BOUNTIFUL: 49 days, 65 seeds per 
oz. The most popular green podded snap bean for 
those markets that demand a flat podded variety. 
It is early and ships well. The long, flat, light green 
pod grows from 63 T to 7 inches in length. The pod is 
rather thin walled and not of the best quality. We 
do not recommend Bountiful for home use or can¬ 
ning. Our fields of Bountiful were inspected by a 
representative from the N. Y. State College of Agri¬ 
culture and found to be eligible for certification. 
Pkt. 10 cts.; jT lb. 15 cts.; lb. 25 cts.; 15 lbs. 
$2.75; 100 lbs. $14.00. 
* GIANT STRINGLESS GREEN POD: 54 days, 72 
seeds per oz. One of the most popular round podded 
snap beans but not as good as Tendergreen. The 
pods are 6 to 6^2 inches long, medium green and string¬ 
less. It is used to some extent for canning but, as the 
pod of this variety is depressed between beans and 
of only medium thickness, we feel that Tendergreen 
makes a better appearance. Pkt. 10 cts.; % lb. 
15 cts.; lb. 25 cts.; 15 lbs. $2.50; 100 lbs. $12.00. 
4c ASGROW BLACK VALENTINE : 49 days, 81 seeds 
per oz. A green snap bean that has become very 
popular for market in some sections. While it 
should be classified as a flat podded variety, it is so 
thick that both flat and round podded markets will 
take it. Pods b}4 to 7 inches long, nearly straight, 
dark green and stringless. Pkt. 10 cts.; lb. 15 
cts.; lb. 25 cts.; 15 lbs. $2.60; 100 lbs. $13.00. 
“I have tried all the new Hybrids as well as many of 
the old varieties, and I wish to congratulate you on 
having introduced the BEST early corn. I tried some 
of your Seneca Golden Hybrid this past season and 
found it the finest in quality, number of ears and size 
per ear of any corn ever introduced.”
