ernment supervision, has proven to be of

den or for production on a large scale. The

BRITTLE WAX. This is without a doubt 
the earliest of all wax beans and also a 
great cropper. The bushes are remarkably 
hardy and extremely prolific, while the 
pods are fleshy and entirely stringless, 
often measuring 4% to 6 inches. Fine fla¬ 
vor, round and solid, tender, brittle and 
entirely stringless at all stages of growth. 
The beans are white except for small black 
dot near the eye. Also fine as a shell bean. 
★ PENCIL POD BLACK WAX. One of 
the finest strains of wax beans known. It 
is very early, enormously productive and 
of the very best quality. It has long, slen¬ 
der handsome pods, that cook so tender 
that they melt in the mouth, and are the 
most delicious bean we have ever found. 
IMPROVED GOLDEN WAX. A splen¬ 
did early wax bean. The plants are erect, 
compact and very productive. The pods 
are medium size, broad and fleshy. The 
quality is very fine. 
Shell Beans 
PRICES—See above. 
DAVIS WHITE WAX. A popular white 
seeded, wax podded bean of superior merit. 
The pod is large and when young is crisp 
and tender. One of the main uses of this 
variety, however, is as a dried bean for 
winter use, for which purpose it is unsur¬ 
passed. 
★ DWARF HORTICULTURAL, or “Cran¬ 
berry Bean.” This well-known bean is 
very sturdy and prolific. The beans, which 
are speckled, bright red on a yellowish 
ground, are quite large and uniform and 
are very fine either for eating as green 
shell beans or as dried beans for winter 
use. 
DWARF GOLDEN CARMINE. This splen¬ 
did bean can be used either as a snap or 
shell bean. When ripe, owing to its large 
seed, makes a fancy baking bean. The 
seed is large, kidney-shaped, buff-colored, 
and mottled. 
BOSTON PEA BEAN. Also called White 
Navy. This is the best of the small white 
beans known as navy beans for the North¬ 
west. The bean is small, oval, white and of 
excellent flavor for baking. The plant 
does not run to vine and the leaves are 
few and drop early. 
Lima Beans 
PRICES—Same as Green Pod above. 
HENDERSON’S BUSH LIMA. Earliest 
and most productive of the lima beans. 
Quality good either for eating fresh or for 
canning. Requires a warm location in this 
area.

5c; Zq. lb. 10c; '/ ? lb. 15c; 1 lb. 25c; 5 lbs.
