Kilgore*s Golden Bountiful Wax 
A Kilgore Introduction 
KILGORE’S GOLDEN BOUNTIFUL WAX. (43 days.) A 
wonderful bright yellow bean, entirely stringless, early, and ex¬ 
ceedingly productive, with very long, thick, semi-flat pods, prac¬ 
tically straight, and fairly disease-resistant. Golden Bountiful is 
really a companion of the regular green Bountiful, and is similar 
to it in all respects except color. The beautiful, large, straight, 
golden yellow pods give it a very attractive market appearance, 
and in edible quality this variety cannot be excelled. 
Mlb. 10c; 1 lb. 30c; 2 lbs. 50c. 
PENCIL POD BLACK WAX. (48 days.) An exceedingly 
desirable variety for home use, local market and shipping. The 
plant is large, robust, stocky, vigorous and very productive. 
Pods are round, slightly curved, fleshy, golden yellow, tender, 
entirely stringless, without fibre, extremely brittle, succulent 
and of highest quality. 
Mlb. 10c; 1 lb. 30c; 2 lbs. 50c. 
KILGORE’S NEW IMPROVED KIDNEY WAX. (50 days.) 
This variety is one of the finest and heaviest yielding wax-podded 
beans. The plants are large, erect, early, and very productive. 
The pods are long, oval, or semi-round, (not flat), light yellow 
in color, brittle, stringless, fleshy, and of excellent quality. This 
new variety is destined to be a leader as it becomes better known. 
141 b. 10c; 1 lb. 30c; 2 lbs. 50c. 
SURE CROP WAX. (45 days.) The large, flat, straight, 
bright yellow pods are produced very early in great abundance, 
and the plants are strong and vigorous. Productiveness and qual¬ 
ity are two of the greatest points of this stringless variety. Sure 
Crop Wax is one of the biggest yielding of all wax beans, and 
has the advantage of being very early. In hardiness it probably 
excels all other wax beans. 
141 b. 10c; 1 lb. 30c; 2 lbs. 50c. 
HODSON WAX. (56 days.) A vigorous, very hardy, and ex¬ 
tremely productive variety, rather late in maturing. Noted for its 
attractive, very large, long, flat, slightly curved, light yellow 
pods, which when picked at the proper stage are of good quality. 
Holds up exceptionally well as a shipping sort to distant markets. 
141 b. 10c; 1 lb. 30c; 2 lbs. 50c. 
GREEN PODDED POLE 
BEANS 
Plant 1 peck per acre. 
Culture of Green Podded Pole Beans. Pole beans are later 
in maturing than bush beans, but bear for a longer season, and 
are extremely productive, yielding more than bush beans, and 
also produce bigger pods. They are somewhat more tender than 
bush beans if harvested young. For best results, pole beans 
should be supported by wires or by good strong poles to keep 
them off the ground. Poles should be 8 to 9 feet long, and set 
firmly in the ground, in rows four feet apart, and three feet 
apart in the row. Plant six to eight seeds around each pole. 
When plants are well established, thin to two or three plants 
to a pole. In order to keep pole beans bearing over a long sea¬ 
son, it is important to keep them closely picked.

U. S. NO. 3. (New Rust Resistant.) (60 days.) A recent 
release of the U. S. D. A. Limited quantity of seed available. 
This new variety developed by the United States Department 
of Agriculture, has been developed for rust resistance, to which 
disease Kentucky Wonder and other green podded pole beans 
are very susceptible. Repeated tests for rust resistance and selec¬ 
tion for quality and other desirable characteristics were made by 
the U. S. D. A. for several years before releasing this variety. 
Makes an early maturing (4 to 5 days earlier than Kentucky 
Wonder), long (7 to 8 inches) round podded bean, entirely 
stringless at all stages, and of exceptionally good quality and 
very attractive appearance. The pods resemble brown seeded 
Kentucky Wonder in general appearance, although they are 
slightly longer and plumper on the average under Florida con¬ 
ditions. The seed is white. 
14 lb. 10c; 1 lb. 35c; 2 lbs. 60c. 
KENTUCKY WONDER. ( Old Homestead.) (65 days.) 
This is a popular, green podded, climbing or pole bean, early, 
and very productive over a long season. Pods are very long, 
ranging from eight to ten inches, curved, nearly round, with 
undulating surface. Though thick, they appear slender on ac¬ 
count of their great length. Pods are meaty, very brittle, and of 
good quality if harvested young. The pods hang in large clusters 
from the top to the bottom of the vine, and can be gathered by 
the handful. Our strain has been selected for resistance to both 
rust and powdery mildew. 
141 b. 10c; 1 lb. 30c; 2 lbs. 50c. 
TENNESSEE WONDER. (70 days.) The plant is of me¬ 
dium growth, of good climbing habit, fairly productive. The 
pods are of light green color, round, constricted, and are consid¬ 
ered to be the largest, straightest and handsomest of all culti¬ 
vated beans, making this an ideal pole bean to produce for the 
market, as well as for home use. 
^4 lb. 10c; 1 lb. 30c; 2 lbs. 50c. 
McCASLAN. (65 days.) A prolific, white-seeded pole bean, 
of Georgia origin. This is one of the most popular pole beans 
grown in the South. The seeds being white in color are used as a 
green shell bean, although this variety is used more extensively 
as snap beans when young. The pods are dark green, eight 
inches long, large, flat, slightly curved, very thick and meaty, 
stringless, brittle and fine grained, and of excellent quality if 
harvested young. 
141 b. 10c; 1 lb. 30c; 2 lbs. 50c. 
KILGORE’S GENUINE CORNFIELD. (70 days.) This is 
a large podded pole bean. A most desirable variety to plant in 
the corn during the Spring months, thus getting two crops off 
the same piece of land at the same time. A very vigorous grower, 
heavy producer; it forms large, long, smooth, flattened, nearly 
straight pods of excellent quality. Seeds are buff colored, mot¬ 
tled with pinkish brown. 
141 b. 10c; 1 lb. 30c; 2 lbs. 50c.
