VEGETABLE SEEDS 
ASPARAGUS 
MARY WASHINGTON. We are pleased to be able to offer seed of this new 
American strain of giant Asparagus. It is the first result of a plant-breed- 
ing campaign started by the United States Department of Agriculture to 
produce a rust-resistant Asparagus. Rust-resistant and vigorous plants 
selected from thousands have been crossed with a single male plant ‘‘Wash- 
ington” and most careful re-selection practiced. Grown on our own farms 
from seed sent us by the U.S. Department of Agriculture. Pkt., 10c; oz., 
20c; % Ib., 50c; 1 Ib., $1.50.

Our seed is grown from carefully bred stock seed, especially selected for 
vigor, high yield and true type. We are pleased to offer such fine true stock 
of this popular variety. 
DAVIS WHITE WAX STRINGLESS. (New.) This Bean has all the good 
qualities of old fashioned Davis but is stringless. Dry Bean is large, kid- 
ney-shaped, pods long and meaty, of a beautiful yellow color; heavy bearer 
and good for dry Beans. 
ROGERS’ IMPROVED KIDNEY WAX. Rich, creamy white, slender, oval 
pods, 5 to 6 inches in length, free from rust, perfect shape and entirely 
stringless. Seed white in color with black eye. Plant grows robust. 18 
inches in height, erect, bushy and very prolific. We know of no wax bean 
that is more desirable for home garden. Wonderful new Bean, which has 
recently been put on the market. 
BRITTLE WAX OR ROUND POD KIDNEY WAX. A Bean of superb quality, 
very tender, entirely stringless, makes vigorous growth. Beans nearly 
white. One of the best for string Beans. 
WARDWELL’S KIDNEY WAX. Gives general satisfaction everywhere and 
is one of the best and earliest. On account of its hardiness it can be planted 
earlier than any other Wax Bean; yellow pods, fine flavored and brittle, best 
for home or market.

BOUNTIFUL. New green pod variety. Superior quality. Productive and 
early. Bears early and stays edible through long season; pods often 6 
inches long. A good variety for market gardeners.

recent years, due to its fine combination of good qualities.

the old Red Valentine, only stringless. Pods

Giant in production of large pods, 8 inches long,

grow 8 feet high and are simply loaded down with 
immense loads of pods filled with a large quantity

mands good soil.
