Pencil Pod Wax Beans 

WAX PODDED BUSH BEANS 
27. Bountiful Wax (52 Days)—An early, entirely stringless bean similar to the well-known green 
podded Bountiful, except in color, which is a rich deep yellow. The thick meaty 
pods are 6 to 6% inches long, fleshy, very brittle and of fine quality. One of the best bearers. Per- 
fectly stringless from the first to the last picking. The plants branch freely, every branch bearing a 
generous load of fine quality pods. By mail postpaid, pkt. 10c; 4% lb. 25c; lb. 45c; 2 lbs. 80c; 5 Ibs. 
$1.70; 10 lbs. $3.15. ; 
Not postpaid, lb. 35c; 2 lbs. 65c; 5 lbs. $1.45; 10 lbs. $2.80; 100 lbs. $26.00. 
33. Surecrop Stringless Wax (52 Days)—Hardy, rust-proof and stringless at practically all stages 
f of growth. The rich, yellow, thick and meaty pods measure 6 to 7 
inches long, about half an inch wide and nearly as thick, and are produced in great abundance; it is 
one of the biggest, yielding of all the wax beans, and has the advantage of being very early. In hardi- 
ness it probably excels all other wax beans. By mail postpaid, pkt. 10c; 44 lb. 25c; 1b. 45c; 2 lbs. 80c; 
5 lbs. $1.70; 10 lbs. $3.15. 
Not postpaid, Ib. 35c; 2 lbs. 65c; 5 lbs. $1.45; 10 lbs. $2.80; 100 Ibs. $26.00. 
26. Rustless Golden Wax (54.P2vs)—Our strain is a marked improvement over the type generally 
sold. It is more disease-resistant, the pods about an inch longer; they 
are entirely stringless and yield more abundantly. The handsome pods are about 6 inches long, strictly 
stringless, fleshy, very brittle and tender. Do not be disturbed if the plants throw tendrils; this is an 
evidence of vigor. By mail postpaid, pkt. 10c; 44 lb. 30c; 1b. 50c; 2 lbs. 90c; 5 lbs. $1.95; 10 lbs. $3.55. 
Not postpaid, lb. 40c; 2 lbs. 75c; 5 1hs. $1.70; 10 lbs. $3.20; 100 lbs. $30.00. 
28. Pencil Pod Black Wax (54.Pays)—The best strain of black wax beans and has all the good 
qualities that go to make a first-class bean for the home garden and 
nearby market. The pods are 6 to 7 inches long, round and of a uniform rich yellow color; tender, 
absolutely stringless, very brittle, fleshy and without fibre. By mail postpaid, pkt. 10c; 4% Ib. 30c; 
Ib. 50c; 2 lbs. 90c; 5 lbs. $1.95; 10 lbs. $3.55. 
Not postpaid, lb. 40c; 2 lbs. 75c; 5 lbs. $1.70; 10 lbs. $3.20; 100 lbs. $30.00. 
29. Round Pod Brittle Wax (52 Days)—If splendid quality made a bean popular this should be 
E our best seller among wax beans. It is a profuse bearer of meaty, 
stringless, tender round pods 5% to 6 inches long; quite hardy and very prolific. It would be hard 
to imagine a more thoroughly satisfactory entirely stringless wax bean for the private garden. 
By mail postpaid, pkt. 10c; 4% lb. 30c; lb. 50c; 2 lbs. 90c; 5 lbs. $2.05; 10 lbs. $3.75.

POLE or CORNFIELD BEANS 
Pole beans are sensitive to cold and should not be planted before the ground is warm—two to three weeks later than bush beans. Set 
poles 6 to 8 feet long, 3 to 4 feet apart, in 4-foot rows and plant five or six beans two inches deep around each pole. A pound plants 100 
hills; 30 pounds to the acre. 
54. Virginia Wonder

bottom of the pole. Nearly round, crisp and tender. If gathered as they mature, they con- 
tinue bearing through the season. :

clusters. The seeds are pure white.
