Sutton's The Prince Beans 
CLIMBING FRENCH BEANS 
The Climbing French Beans have all the merits of Dwarf French 
Beans, the pods being extremely tender and of delicious flavor, but 
the climbing habit enables the plants to bear continuously till quite 
late in the season, thus producing a much more abundant crop than 
is obtainable from plants of the Dwarf section. This type of Bean 
also does splendidly under glass from autumn to spring. 
5453. (G.O.) Sutton’s Tender and True. Yields a great profusion 
of long, straight pods possessing the characteristics of the dwarf 
class. Excellent for culture under glass or outside. Per pint, 80c. 
5454. (G.O.) Sutton’s Princess of Wales. Specially recommended 
as an early variety either for indoor or outdoor culture. Pods long, 
straight, tender, and delicious. A continuous bearer. Per pint, 80c. 
DWARF FRENCH BEANS 
During recent years we have raised several new types of Dwarf 
French Beans which possess a combination of valuable characteristics 
practically unknown in the varieties previously grown. Among the 
most important of their merits are earliness, the production of long, 
succulent pods which retain their stringless quality for a considerable 
time, heavy cropping capacity, healthy green foliage, and continuous 
bearing habit. 
5521. (G.O.) The Prince (Sutton’s). This splendid Bean, which 
we introduced in 1927, is now very widely grown. It is an immense 
cropper, and comes into bearing very quickly, maturing in ad¬ 
vance of other well known early varieties. The pods are of great 
size, often measuring from 11 to 12 inches in length, and are 
thick, fleshy and stringless. Per pint, $1.15. 
5526. (G.O.) Sutton’s Masterpiece. An extremely popular Dwarf 
Bean. The plant is unusually prolific, and the long pods are 
straight, handsome, and tender. As a very quick grower Sutton’s 
Masterpiece has proved exceedingly valuable for pot culture. 
Per pint, 70c. 
5523. (G.O.) Sutton’s Premier. One of the finest Dwarf Beans we 
have ever raised. The handsome pods are broad and very long, 
quite equal in size to those of Canadian Wonder, but the crop 
comes ready for use much earlier than that variety, and continues 
in bearing for a long period. Pods succulent and most excellent 
in flavor. Per pint, 95c. 
GARDEN BEET 
5761. Globe. A useful stock of this early variety. Of admirable 
color when pulled as soon as fit for table. Per oz., 30c. 
5661. Sutton’s Blood Red. Maintains its pre-eminence as the finest 
strain of long Beet for general cultivation. Roots of medium size, 
symmetrical in form, and unrivalled for the exhibition stage. Flesh 
exceedingly rich in color and of the choicest flavor. Foliage very 
dark crimson and most ornamental. Per oz., 45c. 
LIMA BEANS, Dwarf or Bush 
Bush Limas are nearly 2 weeks earlier than Pole Limas. The seed 
is quite tender, and will rot while the ground is cold or wet, so do 
not plant before the ground is warm. For very early results, how¬ 
ever, the seed can be started in pots in the hotbed or the green¬ 
house and the plants set out when the weather is settled. Plant 
in rows 3 feet apart and from 4 to 6 inches apart in the row, al¬ 
ways edgewise, with the eye down. 
One pound will plant a row 50 feet long. 
505. Fordhook Bush Lima. Best variety for the home garden; very 
productive and of fine flavor. Beans are large, almost round, 
plump, of rich buttery flavor. Yl lb., 40c. 
506. Improved Bush Lima. Plant bears heavily, and the pods fill 
out very evenly. The Beans are more flat than Fordhook. 
Yz lb., 30c. 
507. Henderson’s Improved Bush Lima. Very small Beans, but the 
most prolific of all the white-seeded Bush Limas. Yl lb., 25c. 
BRUSSELS SPROUTS 
Hints on Successful Cultivation. Brussels Sprouts are sometimes 
poorly grown, because the first principle of success—a long growing 
season—is not recognized. Seed should, therefore, be sown at the 
first favorable opportunity in February or March. If a cold frame 
can be spared during February, broadcast the seed in fine soil, and 
give the seedlings air whenever the weather permits; or sowings may 
be made in drills one foot apart, on a south border or in some other 
sheltered, sunny position out-of-doors. As soon as the plants in 
frames are large enough, prick them out three inches apart on an 
open bed, and transfer to permanent quarters before they crowd 
one another. For successional crops sow in the open ground in the 
latter part of March or early in April, and transplant the seedlings 
direct to the open ground immediately they are large enough. The 
ground should be made quite firm in order to encourage sturdy 
growth. For the compact growing varieties two feet apart each way 
will generally suffice, but the larger kinds an extra six inches will 
be required in the rows, and the rows three feet apart. 
5811. Sutton’s Fillbasket. A remarkable variety of Brussels Sprouts, 
producing the largest and most solid sprouts in cultivation. Al¬ 
though the buttons grow to a great size, they are of extremely 
good quality; give Sutton’s Fillbasket a trial. Per oz., 60c. 
5801. Sutton’s Exhibition. An admirable strain of Brussels Sprouts. 
Yields an abundant crop of solid sprouts, delicious in flavor, which 
come early to maturity and remain firm for a considerable time. 
Per oz., 55c.
