Fashions in vegetables change like women’s hats. The gardener 
who studies the market and is ready for such changes is successful. 
Tendergreen seems to be gaining in popularity each year on our 
large markets. The reason? Quality. 
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. Tendergreen each year has 
become more popular with both the home and market 
ket gardner. Pkt. 10 cts.; )4. lb. 15 cts.; lb. 25 cts.; 
15 lbs. $2.80 prepaid. 100 lbs. $14.25. Not pre¬ 
paid. 
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 6^ 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 canning. 
Pkt. 10 cts.; y 2 lb. 15 cts.; lb. 25 cts.; 15 lbs. 
$2.60 prepaid; 100 lbs. $13.00. Not prepaid. 
>kGIANT STRINGLESS GREEN POD; 54 days, 72 
seeds per oz. One of the better round podded snap 
beans but not as good quality as Fendergrcen. The 
pods are 6 tob^^ 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.; yi lb. 
15 cts.; lb. 25 cts.; 15 lbs. $2.50 prepaid. 100 lbs. 
$12.00. Not prepaid. 
>kASGROW 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 65 ^ to 7 inches long, nearly straight, 
dark green and stringless. Pkt. 10 cts.; lb. 15 
cts.; lb. 25 cts.; 15 lbs. $2.65 prepaid. 100 lbs. 
$13.30. Not prepaid. 
FRENCH HORTICULTURAL: 68 days. 60 seeds per 
ounce. A popular green shelled variety for home and 
market. Plant erect and compact, with short run¬ 
ners. Pods 7 to 8 inches long, splashed with deep 
carmine, very attractive in appearance but fibrous 
and stringy. Shelled bean is pinkish buff color, 
mottled and streaked with ox-blood red. Pkt. 10 cts.; 
lb. 15 cts.; 1 lb. 25 cts.; 15 lbs. $3.30. Prepaid; 
100 lbs. $18.00. Not Prepaid. 
If the man with the pipe would only straighten up, you would see 
that he is Dr. Hardenburg. The Doctor inspects our seed bean 
fields each year for variety mixtures and disease. Inspection of 
our seed crops by experts especially trained in the work, is one 
of the added services we give you—just a step in the production of 
high quality seed. 
A Star (ije) in front of a variety indicates that the seed was grown from our own selected stock.
