Allen’s Double Tested 
VEGETABLE SEEDS 
Our Seed Trade is entirely through this catalog. It is the 
only agent we employ. We send out no seeds to be sold 
again on commission, but deal direct with the planters; 
thus devoting all our resources to supplying them with 
the best and finest stocks obtainable at the lowest reason- 
able cost. The substantial increase in business each year 
rewards our policy, and proves that our seeds are meeting 
the requirements of particular planters. 
About prices. At prices named, all seeds you may order 
in packets, ounces, half-pounds, pounds or 2 pounds will be 
delivered by mail, postpaid. 













Unless noted, all other quantities larger than 2 pounds 
will be sent at purchaser’s expense, whether by mail, ex- 
press or freight. 

DOUBLE TEST FOR GERMINATION 
All Garden seeds are not only tested by us after har- 
vest but are again tested by nationally known labora- 
tories, thus eliminating the danger of customers receiv- 
ing seeds which do not grow.

FIFTY-THREE YEARS OF 
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 
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.

DAVIS WHITE WAX STRINGLESS. (New.) “Washington” and most careful re- 
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.
