branched and bear a great quantity of beautiful dark green, 
round, extremely meaty, tender pods, 6 to 7 in. long. Abso¬ 
lutely stringless at all stages of growth; always free from fiber, 
and of the most delicious flavor. Pods mature early and are 
borne profusely for a long time. The attractive appearance of

This is the Year to Plant 
KENTUCKY WONDER BEAN 
This Bean is one of the finest green pole beans that has ever been placed 
on the market. The pods are nine to ten inches long and so well filled 
and thick fleshed that they are nearly round. It is entirely stringless, 
cooks tender, and is deliciously flavored. Kentucky Wonder Beans are a 
real everbearer, and if the pods are picked off as they ripen, it will con¬ 
tinue to bear right through the season until killed by the fall frosts. It 
will bear a fine crop without being poled, but when poles or brush are 
used, it is much easier to harvest.

BOUNTIFUL 
48 days. Bears continuously for several weeks, being the first 
to give pods fit to pick in the spring. Under favorable condi¬ 
tions of soil and season this variety has been known to bear one 
bushel of pods per 15 feet of row. The pods are long, flat, 
slightly curved, tender, of delicious flavor and practically 
stringless.

are meaty, round, brittle, and absolutely stringless. Somewhat 
similar to Burpee's Stringless Green-Pod. Seeds are a light brown 
color. The plants are of strong growth, making large and com¬ 
pact bushes that bear a heavy crop of pods for a long time.

FROST PROOF BEAN OR LIMA PEA 
This bean is highly esteemed in Europe, and is known there as the Broad 
Bean. It differs from American types of beans in that it should be 
planted early. Plants are hardy and not sensitive to cold. 
The beans are as large as the largest Lima Beans, and nearly the 
same shape. Botanically, it belongs to the bean family, but the flavor 
is more like that of the pea, which accounts for it sometimes being called 
the Lima Pea. The plant is a bush of upright growth, about 2 1/2 feet 
high, with strong, sturdy stalks. Pods 5V 2 inches long and 1 Va inches 
wide, flat and straight. Each holds 3 to 4 mammoth size beans It is 
wonderfully productive. The Frost Proof Bean, or Lima Pea, is used jiR® fbe 
Lima Bean, and is delicious either cooked fresh or as a winter shell bean.

6 pounds in weiqht if you want it at its best. 
It is easy to grow and is almost entirely free 
from disease and inserts. Wonderfully prolific, 
much easier to grow than a squash, and is very 
productive. It may be grown on a trellis similar 
to pole beans. It can be prepared for the table 
in many ways, and when either fried, baked or 
boiled, it is most delicious in flavor.

HOPI INDIAN BEAN 
This Bean has been grown by the Hopi Indians 
of Northern Arizona from prehistoric times 
under strictly dry farm conditions and crude 
farm practices. In trying these out, we find 
them to be a very fine eating bean. A small 
crop was grown in 1933 and the growers claim 
that they produced more heavily that any 
bean we have. They are semi-vining, long 
rooted, drought-resistant beans, and should be 
placed in rows 30 to 40 inches apart. They 
require the full Summer season and should be 
harvested before frost. They have the t,rue 
large lima flavor and the Indians claim they 
are strongly anti-acid, in this being very much 
different from the usual Navy and Pinto 
beans and can be eaten with benefit by peo¬ 
ple who cannot digest most 
beans. The great productiv¬ 
ity of this bean under gen¬ 
eral climate conditions should . ' 
make it very popular with - ■ 
gardeners and we suggest 
that you try out a supply 
this year.

producing long leaf stalks like ordinary 
celery, it has a turnip-like root with the 
true celery flavor and is greatly liked by 
nearly all who have tried it. Excellent for

the most delicious vegetables yet introduced, and bound to become 
one of the most popular.

CABBAGE 
LIGHTNING EXPRESS 
The Earliest Cabbage in Cultivation 
Our Lightning Express is ready for use in 65 to 70 days from 
sowing—ten days earlier than Jersey Wakefield. Good fair trials 
of varieties offered by other seed houses as "the earliest grown" 
have proved that they are from four to ten days later than our 
Lightning Express. 
LIGHTNING EXPRESS is positively the earliest cabbaoe in 
cultivation. The heads are pointed, of good size, a little smaller 
than Jersey Wakefield, always sure to head, solid and firm, and 
always in demand on the market, bringina high prices on ac¬ 
count of their extreme earliness. Verv hardy, permitting earliest 
planting. TV-»ere are but few outer leaves, and plants may there¬ 
fore be set closely together. As many as 14,000 heads can be 
grown on one acre of ground, and will bring a larger profit per 
acre than later and heavier varieties. 
Pkt. 10c—3 pkts. 25c— 1/4 lb. 90c 
COPENHAGEN MARKET 
One of the finest early round-headed cabbages in cultivation. 
It is desirable on account of the remarkable characteristics of 
maturing the heads all at the same time, enabling the grower 
to gather his crop with less expense and permitting the cleaning 
of the land at the first cidtina. The heads average about ten 
pounds each in weight, are hard and solid with small core. The 
quality is extra fine and sweet. It is a short-stemmed variety, 
the heads nearly resting on the ground. The leaves are light 
green, rather small, saucer-shaped and tightly folded, making 
it possible to set them close together in the field. 
Pkt. 10c—3 pkts. 25c—1/ 4 lb. 90c

BARDEN'S WONDER BANTAM SWEET CORN 
This matchless Sweet Corn is a cross between Golden 
Bantam and Early Wonder, the result of which is a 
Bantam Sweet Corn with all the qualities and sweet¬ 
ness of the old reliable Golden Bantam, but with 
larger ears set up higher on the stalk. Ears 8 to 10 
inches long, filled with 8 rows of broad, rich, golden 
yellow kernels. Stalk 5 to 6 feet high. Critical market 
and home gardeners and canners have long been look¬ 
ing for a Bantam Sweet Corn with these improved 
qualities. One of the big canning companies reports 
that Barden's Wonder Bantam produces one-third more 
tonnage per acre than any other Bantam Corn they 
have ever grown, and will consider using no other in 
the future. Tests each year have proved it to be as 
early as Golden Bantam and much more vigorous 
and productive. Pkt. 10c—7 oz. 25c—14 oz. 45c 
BLACK MEXICAN SWEET CORN 
This is one of the richest flavored, sweetest, and tenderest sweet 
corns. To many of those who know it, no other variety can 
take its place. The ears are 8 to 9 inches in length, and are 
ready for the table in 85 to 90 days. The ripe seed is bulish 
black, but when in table- condition the kernels are pearly white. 
It is a most desirable second early variety for the home qarden
