Green-Podded Bush Beans, continued 
FULL MEASURE. Edible in about 62 days. Grows 14 to 16 inches 
high, with foliage slightly larger than Stringless Green-Pod, more of a 
yellowish green. Pods average 6 inches long, more curved than Stringless 
Green-Pod, absolutely stringless, possibly more green in color, but not so 
large in circumference. Decidedly the best round-podded stringless Bean 
in existence. Pods contain 5 to 7 mahogany-colored Beans. 
IMPROVED RED VALENTINE. An extra-early variety that usually 
is edible in 52 days after planting; also fine for midsummer sowing, to 
ripen in September. The vigorous bushes bear an abundance of medium- 
length green pods which are very fleshy, crisp and tender. Dry Beans are 
of medium size, long, pink, marbled red. 
STRINGLESS RED VALENTINE. Has all the general characteristics 
of the parent Red Valentine, being just as early and as good in flavor, but 
the pods are completely stringless, a decided improvement. 
REFUGEE or 1000-to-l. A little later than most green-podded sorts, 
but very prolific. It is fine for late fall planting, for use in pickling. The 
pods are nearly round, pale green, about 5 inches long, very fleshy and 
brittle, with slight strings but exquisite flavor. Dry Beans long, brownish 
gray, with light specks sometimes of a purple shade. 
STRINGLESS REFUGEE. A stringless strain of Late Refugee or 
1000-to-l. Quite similar in all other respects. Ready to pick in 70 days. 
LONG YELLOW SIX WEEKS. The large, vigorous plants are very 
productive of long, green pods which are straight and flat and of fine 
quality. The dried Beans are long, kidney shaped, and dark yellow. 
TENDERGREEN or NEW STRINGLESS. The large, 17-inch, dark- 
foliaged vines produce an abundance of meaty, stringless pods, which are 
round, almost straight, about 6 inches long, and contain 5 or 6 Beans. The 
dried seed is purple in color, mottled with buff. Edible in 54 days. 
TENNESSEE GREEN-POD. The largest, longest, and broadest of the 
green-podded Bush Beans on the market. It is an excellent variety with 
thick, meaty pods of fine flavor. Dry Beans of flat, irregular shape, dark 
brown in color.

DUTCH CASEKNIFE. A good variety for either snap or shell Beans. 
The long, flat, green pods are borne early in the season. The dried Beans 
are large, flat, and pure white, which makes it an exceptionally good sort 
to grow for winter use. 
GOLDEN CLUSTER WAX. An extra-strong grower and very produc¬ 
tive. The flat, stringless pods are large, 7 to 8 inches long by % inch wide, 
and are borne in clusters. They are rich golden yellow, of excellent flavor, 
and remain fit for use a long time. Vines bear continuously. One of the 
best yellow-podded Pole Beans. Dry Beans oval, pure white. 
KENTUCKY WONDER (Old Homestead). This extremely productive 
variety is entirely stringless. The silvery green pods, which are 8 to 10 inches 
long, hang in clusters the entire length of the plants. It is one of the earliest 
of the green-podded Pole Beans, and of exceptionally good quality. If the 
pods are gathered as they mature, the plants will continue to bear until the 
end of the season. Dry Beans are long, almost kidney shape, grayish brown. 
KENTUCKY WONDER WAX. A yellow-podded form of the preceding, 
with all its good qualities, but which yields quicker from seeding than 
most of the other Pole Beans. The yellow pods are meaty, brittle, and of 
good flavor. This Bean is steadily growing in favor. Dry Beans are dark 
brown and irregular in shape. 
KENTUCKY WONDER, WHITE. An improvement on the old Ken¬ 
tucky Wonder in that the dry Beans are white. It has all the good charac¬ 
teristics of its parent, which is sufficient recommendation to all who know 
that splendid sort. 
LAZY WIFE. The best late green-podded Pole Bean. It is an extremely 
heavy yielder of broad, thick, fleshy, dark green pods which are entirely 
stringless and average 6 inches in length. The dry large, oval, white Beans, 
which are borne 6 to 8 in the pod, are excellent for winter use. 
LONDON HORTICULTURAL (Speckled Cranberry). Can be used 
both as a shell and snap Bean. The pods are of medium size, pale green 
streaked with bright red, tender and of excellent quality. Especially good 
for short seasons and cool locations. Dry Beans large, oval, dark tan 
covered with red dots.
