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-breeding campaign started 
by the United States Department of Agri- 
culture to produce a rust-resistant Aspara- 
gus. Rust-resistant and vigorous plants 
selected from thousands have been crossed 
with a single male plant ‘““‘Washington” and 
most careful re-selection practiced. Grown 
on our own farms from seed sent us by the 
U. S. Department of Agriculture. Pkt., 10c; 
0Z., 20c; 14 lb., 50c; 1 lb., $1.75. 
BEANS 
Prices on all Beans (except Limas): 4 lh., 
18c; % lb., 35c; 1 lb., 50c; 5 lb., $2.00; 10 1b., 
$3.50; 50 lb., $16.00. 
Wax or Yellow Podded 
PENCIL POD BLACK WAX. The best round 
podded Wax Bean for market. Our seed is 
grown from carefully bred stock seed, espe- 
cially 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, kidney-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. Wonder- 
ful new Bean, which has recently been put 
on the market. 
BRITTLE WAX OR ROUND POD KIDNEY 
WAX. A Bean of superb quality, very ten- 
der, entirely stringless, makes vigorous 
growth. Beans nearly white. One of the 
best for string Beans. 
WARDWELL’S KIDNEY WAX. Gives gen- 
eral 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. 
Green Podded Varieties 
BOUNTIFUL. New green pod variety. Su- 
perior quality. Productive and early. Bears 
early and stays edible through long season; 
pods often 6 inches long. A good variety 
for market gardeners. 
BURPEE’S STRINGLESS. This variety 
claims considerable attention in recent 
years, due to its fine combination of good 
qualities. 
RED VALENTINE STRINGLESS. (New.) 
Like the old Red Valentine, only stringless. 
Pods round and fleshy, hardy; grower of 
big crops; one of the earliest. 
Pole Beans 
Prices on all Pole Beans (excepting Pole 
Limas): % lb. 20c; % I1b., 35c; 1 lb., 50c; 
5 lb., $2.00; 10 lb., $3.50; 50 1b., $16.00. 
GIANT FRENCH WAX. A recent introduc- 
tion from France. This Wax Bean has 
proved in the United States to be all that is 
claimed for it. Giant in production of large 
pods, 8 inches long, of a beautiful transpar- 
ent golden color. Will grow 8 feet high 
and are simply loaded down with immense 
loads of pods filled with a large quantity 
of the Beans. A basket filler of pods or 
shelled Beans. We believe this Bean will be 
planted more than others as soon as better 
Known. Demands good soil. 
KENTUCKY WONDER. This is _ surely 
stringless; pods 7 inches long, full of large 
fine Beans. Good dry or green, if gathered 
will continue to set a large crop until frost. 
Should be in everyone’s garden. 
LAZY WIFE. This Bean is surely a wonder 
in production and lasting qualities, gives 
general satisfaction. Everyone who saw 
this Bean last year was immensely pleased. 
POLE LIMAS 
Prices on all Limas, both Pole and Bush. 
Postpaid: % Ib., 15c; 144 I1b., 30c; 1 Ib., 50c. BY 
express: 10 lb., $4.00; 100 lb., $30.00. 
CARPINTERIA. A new early variety, which 
bears abundantly, with 3 to 5 large, meaty 
Beans to the pod. These are of rarest flavor 
and quality, retaining their distinguishing 
green color even after being dried. We 
would say this sort is one of the best. 
KING OF THE GARDEN LIMA. The old 
standard market and family sort. The vine 
begins to produce pods at the foot of the 
pole, and the bearing season continues until 
frost. Pods are large and well filled with 
Beans of mammoth size. 
BUSH LIMAS 
BURPEE’S IMPROVED BUSH LIMA. This 
is a good early one. Pods 5 to 6 inches long 
and full of Beans of finest quality. 
FORDHOOK BUSH LIMA. An ideal bushy 
growth with upright stem and branches. 
Enormous bearer of thick meaty Beans of 
excellent quality. Early and the most pro- 
ductive of the Limas. 
Edible Soy Beans 
BANSEI (90 days), a plant that is 
erect and of medium height, very 
prolific and well adapted to short 
growing season. The bean when 
ripened is a golden yellow, but re- 
mains green while growing. They 
may be eaten much the same as 
dried Lima Beans or roasted and 
served with salt the same as pea- 
nuts are. 1 oz., 10c; 14 lb., 20c; 

14 Ib., 30c; 1 Ib., 50c; 5 Ibs., $2.00.
