DWARF SHELL 
and EDIBLE SOY 
Do not plant shell beans until all danger of frost is past and the soil is warm; sowings should be y 
made before July 10. Plant in rows 2 to 3 ft. apart, spacing the seed 2 to 3 in. apart, and cover ra 
with 2 in. of soil. A packet will plant about 25 ft. of row; 1 lb. 100 ft.; 60 lbs. for an acre. Shell j 
beans should be left on the vines until they are thoroughly matured and dried out before they are - 
put away for winter use. We call to your attention the fact that shell beans keep very well when of 
stored in a cold, dry place. Everything you can save from your garden for use next winter is going 
to be doubly appreciated with food scarcity making many substitutions necessary; and dried shell 
beans are among the most important staples in your diet.

Adulit—twice 
- actual size 
Some sections of the country are bothered with the Mexican 
Bean Beetle, which eats away the fleshy part of the foliage, 
thereby ruining the crop. Mexogen is a splendid preparation, 
scientifically compounded to kill and repel the Mexican Bean 
Beetle, including the adult, larvae, and eggs. It is non-poison- 
ous to humans, animals, and birds, but it is deadly in its effect 
on many other insect pests in addition to the bean beetle. Try 
it on the Japanese Beetles—it’s powerfully effective. The half- 
pint size contains enough concentrate to handle an average 
season’s spraying for plants grown from ¥% lb. to 1 Ib. of beans. :

Much hardier than other beans and should be planted like peas 
as early as the ground can be worked. The plants are large and 
erect, true bush form, and produce a heavy crop of glossy green 
pods, 7 in. long and quite wide. Pods contain 5 to 7 large, broad, 
flat, light green beans which somewhat resemble lima beans and 
should be used in the same manner. Remember to plant early 
for best results. Dry seed is very large, circular, flat, reddish 
brown with black eye. A great favorite in Europe.

SOY BEAN 
The first historical reference to edible soy beans was in China, 34 B ANSEI he % 
4781 years ago, and the vegetable has been of major importance : Sn > 
in the Orient ever since. It is the principal reason for the Chinese Early, Vigorous, ¢ ite tert on ran eaters aa ; 
ability to do without meat, and in a startling modern application 
it has been credited as the prime factor in strengthening Hitler’s | 
short-rationed army. 
Compared with dry shell beans and lima beans, soy beans possess 
ee times a eee: sone increases in minerals like 
calcium and iron, 12 times as much fat, and highest concentrations 
of vitamins, particularly B;. They are tha rich, wholesome, Pkt. 1025 2 Ib. 25¢; Ib. 404; 2 Ibs. 75¢; 5 Ibs. $1.755 10 Ibs. $3.00. 
well-balanced, non-fattening food that they sound overadvertised. 
But they’re really magical, and are deliciously flavored too, They 
may be cooked as green beans or saved as dried beans. The 
plants are taller than bush-beans; and culture is the same. They 
are practically immune to disease and to Mexican Bean Beetles, 
and produce an astonishingly heavy crop. 
The green pods pop open easily if they are plunged into hot 
water for 1 minute. We have a free leaflet giving both cultural 
instructions and several recipes. Ask for it. 







Plants grow 24 inches tall without support. Remarkable yield 
and resistance to unfavorable growing conditions. Green shelled 
beans grow more intensely green upon cooking. Mature seed is 
pale yellow. According to our tests this variety shows the widest — 
range of adaptability of the scores of experimental edible types 
imported in the last few years.
