scald. It is a second early variety, fruits are medium to large, 
similar in shape to Marglobe, except that they are more flat in 
the stem end. The fruit has thick outer and inner wall, with 
very small seed cavities, producing few seeds. The flesh is firm 
and red. The flavor of the fruit is very pleasing and makes a 
juice with a high percentage of sugar with low acidity. Pkt., 10c;

Improved Stringless 
Green Pod Bean 
If you want really delicious, tender, fine flavored, earliest snap 
beans, be sure to plant some of the Improved Stringless Green 
Pod. There is no dwarf bean that has any finer quality. Many

have ever eaten and will have nothing else for snap beans and 
canning. The pods are long, round as a pencil, very meaty and 
attractive, light green color, matures earliest and the vines are 
exceptionally strong and vigorous. This 
bean is remarkable for its large yield of 
long, straight, tender pods. This is also

qualities before getting pithy. In keep' 
ing and eating qualities it ranks as a 
leader and it will remain crisp and

pithy. Color is bright scarlet, and tap' 
roots are thin. We recommend every 
Radish grower to try this strain. Pkt.,
