For more than half a century I have specialized in the pro- 
duction on a large scale of Pure Bred Seed Beans. My plant- 
ing stocks are bred from a single specimen plant. I have 
continually applied the thoroughly proven pure-line method 
of planting whereby am able to maintain pure stocks of all 
varieties listed, which stocks I recommend will satisfy the 
most exacting planter in every respect. My Pure Bred 
Seed Beans are used annually by thousands of large com- 
mercial shippers throughout the Nation. They are also used 
annually by more than a quarter of a million market gar- 
deners and home planters. My prices are as low as pure bred 
seed of equal quality can be obtained for anywhere on earth.
