A Green-Podded Snap Pole Bean. A Marvel of 
Productiveness from July Until Frost. Large, 
Thick, Stringless Pods, Meaty, Tender and Delicious. 
The best and most popular green-podded snap Pole Bean is a marvel of continued 
productiveness and is ten days earlier than any other green-podded Pole Bean. First 
pickings may be made in the latitude of New Y r ork early in July, and if gathered as they 
become ready for “snaps”, the vine will continue to produce in abundance until frost. 
The pods hang in great clusters from the top to the bottom of the vine and can be 
gathered by the handful; they are very large, 6 to 8 inches in length, entirely string- 
less, plump, round and almost solid meat, meltingly tender and of superb flavor when 
cooked. It is also used as a Shelled Bean, excellent in that form. 
We have supplied Old Homestead Beans to customers in almost every State in the 
Union, arid those who report on them, invariably do so in most flattering terms. (<S ec

"It might interest you to know that I sent a 
package of your Old Homestead Beans to my 
mother in Sydney, Australia, two seasons ago. 
She wrote me later saying that they picked beans 
from the vines for ten months in the year.”

”Last year my Old Homestead Beans beat 
everything around here. Most of them measured 
from 10 to 11 j -2 inches long, and there were big 
bunches of them. I sold all / could grow and then 
did not have enough.”

'The Old Homestead Beans purchased from 
you in past years have been thoroughly tested by
