Vegetable Seeds in Bulk 
ASPARAGUS 
Mary Washington—Grown extensively for its large deep green sprouts of splendid 
quality. Uniform and a heavy producer, resistant to rust. 
Paradise—The thick stem sort. Possibly the heaviest producer and the faster grower. 
BEANS—Bush Varieties 
Improved Burpee’s Stringless Green Pod (53 days)—Green pod about 6 inches long, 
nearly round, slightly curved and fiberless. For quality this is the outstanding string 
bean in the Pecos Valley. Plants are bushy and productive. Raised in the home or market 
garden for canning and freezing. 
Tendergreen—(54 days)—Favored by some and is a general purpose bean of good qual- 
ity. Pods are light green, meaty and stringless, also, round and straight. Plants are 
erect and productive. Used extensively by truckers and canners. 
Giant Stringless Green Pod (53 days)—Green pods, stringless and brittle with marked 
indentations between the beans. Preferred by some for late planting. A good producer, 
shipper and canner. 
Improved Pencil Pod Black Wax (55 days)—Pods are yellow, round, about 7 inches long 
and stringless. The leading yellow podded string bean in our locality. Plants are 
vigorous and productive. 
BEANS—Running Varieties 
Kentucky Wonder (65 days)—Also known as Texas Prolific or Old Homestead. The 
fine flavor of this bean makes it the favorite of the pole varieties. The green pods are 
about 9 inches long, grow in clusters, are curved and indented, meaty and brittle, but 
do have strings. A hardy climber that is productive until late in the season. Will pro- 
duce under some conditions of the Pecos Valley where others will not live. 
McCaslan (65 days)—Similar to Kentucky Wonder except seeds are white. Pods 8 
inches long, flat and medium green. A good bean for the market, can be used as 
snap or dry beans.

mended for freezing. Plants are very productive, large, erect and of the bush type.

grown for a dry bean. Flat pods contain 3 to 4 flat beans. Excellent quality and good 
canner. Plants are about 18 inches tall, early and dark green. 
Fordhook Bush Lima (75 days)—The large potato lima type. 4 inch pods are broad 
and contain 3 to 4 thick beans of highest quality. Large erect plants produce very 
heavy in the Pecos Valley. Grown in the market garden for shipping, highly recom- 
mended for freezing.
