Stringless Green Pod 
Green-Podded Sorts 
STRINGLESS GREEN POD—Absolutely 
stringless at all stages of growth, and we 
recommend it highly. It is extremely 
early, becoming fit for use about six weeks 
from planting; is vigorous and hardy, and 
can be planted early. The pods are long, 
straight, fleshy and thick, of superior qual- 
ity. 
IMPROVED RED VALENTINE—A de- 
cided improvement on Red Valentine. 
Plants are very hardy, resisting spring 
frosts better than most varieties, enabling 
the market-gardener to plant earlier; a 
quick grower and very good yielder. Pods 
are long and round. 
LONG YELLOW SIX WEEKS—A green 
pod Bush Bean, which comes into bearing 
very early and continues throughout the 
season. Pods beautiful rich green, very 
thick, broad, long and uniform; meaty, ten- 
der, fine quality; absolutely stringless. 
BOUNTIFUL—Very hardy and prolific 
and continues in bearing for several weeks. 
The pods are of immense size, rich, tender 
and entirely free from string. 
GIANT STRINGLESS GREEN POD— 
Somewhat similar to Valentine and Bur- 
pee’s Stringless, but larger than either. 
Tender, stringless, fine quality and large 
size. 
FULL MEASURE—A fine stringless, 
early, medium green, high quality bean. 
Pods straight, 6 inches long, very fleshy, 
round, crease-backed, and showing depres- 
sions around the beans. 
TENNESSEE GREEN POD—A popular 
sort in the South where it is sometimes 
known as Dwarf Kentucky Wonder. One of 
the very earliest green-podded beans. Plant 
vigorous, hardy and productive. Nearly 
stringless and of exceptionally fine flavor. 
Shell or Navy Beans 
PROLIFIC TREE—Enormously produc- 
tive; will yield fifty bushels of shelled 
beans per acre. The dry beans have the 
appearance of the common White Navy. 
The plant forms a strong upright tree, 
about twenty inches high, bearing the pods 
well up so that they do not touch the 
ground. 
Yellow-Podded Sorts 
PROLIFIC OR BLACK WAX—Reliable 
old Black Wax, but greatly improved in 
every respect. The vines are vigorous, 
hardy and productive; the pods are 4% to 
5 inches long, of a clear creamy-white color, 
fleshy, strictly stringless, fine-grained, of 
the best quality, and remain fresh a long 
time. 
IMPROVED RUST-PROOF GOLDEN 
WAX—Probably the most popular of the 
Wax varieties and one of the best. Early 
and productive; pods 5 inches long, very 
stout, straight or slightly curved and oval 
in form; flesh brittle, stringless and of 
good quality; color bright yellow. 
DAVIS’ WHITE WAX—Hardy, produc- 
tive and free from rust. Pods long, flat, 
straight and handsome; a valuable variety 
for the market gardener and canner; a 
good shipper. 
WARDWELL’S KIDNEY WAX — The 
largest wax variety and one of the best. 
A strong grower; the long handsome pods 
are stringless, brittle, and of finest flavor. 
A heavy cropper. 
PENCIL POD BLACK WAX—The pods 
are of a light golden yellow color, almost 
round, very thick and meaty, and deeply 
ridged or saddle-backed; quite stringless 
and of fine flavor.
