Vegetable Seeds 
Letherman’s 
TENDER, STRINGLESS BEANS 
To Enjoy the Finest Bean Crops 
Bush Beans. After soil is warmed up plant beans in trench 1% to 2 inches deep—spacing seed 2-3 inches 
apart. One pound plants about 100 foot row. Space rows 24 to 30 inches apart. Pick pods as soon as 
edible. For steady supply make successive plantings until August 1st or early enough to insure crop before 
fall frosts. In the variety descriptions we give the approximate number of days to reach edible stage. Do 
not pick or cultivate beans when wet. 
For Home Freezing 
We suggest—Wade, Topcrop, Tendergreen, and 
the Wax Pods—Pencil Pod, and Round Pod 
Kidney Wax. 
DWARF GREEN PODS 
Two All-America Gold Medal Winners 
Top Crop. 48 days. A tremendous yielder of round, 
slightly curved tender pods 6 inches long. Excel- 
lent for market, home gardener or freezing. 
Vy Ib. 30c, Ib. 55c, 2 Ibs. $1.05, 5 Ibs. $2.50. 
Wade. 50 days. Handsome, tender long pods on a 
vigorous disease resistant plant. The pods are 
smooth, lacking much of the ‘fuzziness’ common 
to beans. They lose moisture slower, staying 
green, fresh, and better to eat for a longer time 
than others.
