antly striped with red making a most attractive shell bean. The dry beans 
are very large and almost completely red. This is distinctly a bush bean, the 
tendency to twine having been bred out making it easier to care for, espe- 
cially in the home garden. 10¢ pkt. 25¢ per 14 lb. 7d¢ per lb. 
DARK RED KIDNEY BEAN. We have grown this bean for several years with 
wonderful success. A compact bush bean bearing tremendous crops which 
ripen early in the season. The very dark red dry beans, much darker than 
the ordinary kidney bean, retain their color when baked.
