“0 WADE BUSH BEANS 
All-America Gold Medal. Round Dark Green Pods of Fine Flavor 
(50 days.) Wade is a truly great new variety. It is probably the finest round 
Bean yet developed by the U.S.D.A. It is outstanding for its sturdy erect vines, 
and its ideal appearance, beautiful dark color and excellent quality. It is re- 
sistant to mosaic and powdery mildew. 
Wade is highly prolific, the smooth straight pods are born in profusion on 
upright vines that hold them well off the ground. The pods are 512 to 6 in. 
long, slender but meaty, deep green and fresh looking. They have a rich de- 
lightful flavor with a true Bean taste and are wonderful for home garden, 
canning and freezing. If you grow 
Beans, try Wade. Pkt., 20c; 14 Ib., 
40c; Ib., 75c; 2 lbs., $1.35; 5 Ibs., 
$2.65; 15 lbs., $6.75.

LETTUCE 
Gold Medal Award 
(45 days.) Salad Bowl is well 
named. A head fills a salad bowl 
with a perfect rosette of rich green 
and very decorative leaves. It is a 
loose-leaf variety and will stand hot 
weather much better than other 
loose-leaf varieties. This attractive novelty is a honey for your garden.

247 Holmes’ Fireball Beet 
(50 days.) For home garden. HOLMES’ FIREBALL 
has a DEEP RED color all the way through. In addi- 
tion to its very desirable deep dark red color, it is of 
very superior quality, richly flavored and is very 
smooth, clean and of uniform shape and size, bunching 
up attractively. It is unexcelled for canning. We urge 
you to give it a trial. Pkt., 15c; oz., 55; 44 Ib., $1.25; 
Ib., $2.00. 
when they have grown very large, these Carrots remain 
more tender and sweet than any other kind. These 
large fine Carrots are an attractive deep orange through- 
out and practically coreless. Tendersweet Carrot is 
unusual in appearance, as the outer skin is of deep 
orange color tinged with red. Pkt., 15c; 1% oz., 35c; 
oz., 60c; 14 Ib., $1.40; 16 Ib., $2.25.
