BEANS 
...the most profitable garden crop 
And one of the most satisfactory and productive vegetables. 
Easy to grow, and may be canned or frozen for winter use. 
Garden Beans fall into two distinct classes, namely Bush and 
Pole Beans. Each of these classes is again subdivided into 
Kidney and Lima Beans. The Kidney Beans of the bush type 
are either Wax Podded or Green Podded in character, as are 
also the Pole Beans of this class. Lima Beans are either of the 
Bush or Pole Type. 
Important 
DAYS TO MATURITY—Although 
different conditions and locations 
make it impossible to predict the 
exact number of days required to 
mature any given vegetable, we 
have, for your convenience, listed 
the approximate number of days re- 
quired to mature these varieties in 
the Middle West. 
QUICK FREEZING of Vegetables 
is increasing in importance in our 
daily supply of foods, both for home 
and market use. We recommend 
the varieties which have been 
found adapted to this purpose.
