Stringless —Top Notch Strain 
50 days. Extra early in maturing. The straight, golden yellow pods are 
broad and flat, 5 in. long, stringless, brittle, and of good quality. Profuse 
bearer. Especially suitable for the home garden or early market. The plants 
grow more compactly and more erect than the old Golden Wax, bearing the 
pods well off the ground. Other features are that it reaches the peak of its 
season very quickly and is almost totally resistant to bean rust, which, in 
wet seasons, renders some varieties of Wax Beans unsightly or unmarketable.

24 Giant Butter or Fava Bean 
Mammoth Pods with 5 to 7 Lima-like Beans 
85 days. Giant Butter or Fava Beans are much hardier than other beans

form, and heavy yielders. Pods are glossy green, 7 in. long, and quite 
broad, and contain 5 to 7 large, broad, flat, light green beans, which are 
valuable for use as green shell beans. The pods are not edible; the large 
beans somewhat resemble Lima Beans and should be used in the same way, 
either cooked fresh or as a winter shell bean. Flavor is somewhat like that 
of the pea. Becoming very popular, especially in large city hotels and
