BEANS

DWARF BUSH VARIETIES.

(One pound will sow 50 ft. of drill.)

Dwarf or bush beans require no support and
may be planted in drills or hills. They do best
if not crowded. Beans are tender annuals and
cannot be planted until danger of frost is past.
Do not plant more than two inches deep. Never
cultivate when the plants are wet.

WAX POD SORTS

BRITTLE WAX.--Claimed to be earlier than
Golden Wax. Plant is a strong grower with
large foliage and very productive. Pods are
nearly straight, rather broad, solid and four to
six inches long. Pods are stringless and the
quality is excellent. Pkt. 10c, 1/4 lb. 15c, lb. 40c,
postpaid. Not prepaid, any quantity at 30 cents
per pound.

IMPROVED GOLDEN WAX.--(Cut No. 1)-- The
most popular variety and this popularity is due
largely to the fact that the strain we have is a
great improvement on the old Golden Wax, hav-
ing larger pods and being more prolific. This
improved stock is one of the handsomest beans
we have ever seen, the pods a rich golden yellow
color and of perfect shape and rust proof. Best
for family or market garden. Pkt. 10c, 1/4 lb.
15c, lb. 40c, postpaid. Not prepaid, any quantity
at 30 cents per pound.

CHALLENGE BLACK WAX.--This strain of
Black Wax is in our opinion superior to that
generally offered. Pods tender, round, fleshy
and stringless. (See illustration.) Pkt. 10c, 1/4
lb. 15c, lb. 40c, postpaid. Not prepaid, any quan-
tity at 30 cents per pound.

DAVIS WHITE WAX.--The best white seeded
wax-pod variety. While other sorts may have
superior qualities this bean does not show dis-
coloration when cooked, and for that reason is
preferrd for canning. Pkt. 10c, 1/4 lb. 15c, lb.
40c, postpaid. Not prepaid, any quanity at 30
cents per pound.

SURECROP STRINGLESS WAX.--(Cut No. 2.)
--A valuable variety of dwarf wax beans. It is
very productive, bearing large, handsome, golden
yellow pods in great abundance and being hardy,
may be planted early. Pkt. 10c, 1/4 lb. 15c, lb.
45c. Not prepaid, any quantity at 30 cents per
pound.

WARDWELL'S KIDNEY WAX.--A very pop-
ular variety of wax bean bearing long, flat pods
of delicate, waxy, yellow color, stringless and
brittle. Pkt. 10c, 1/4 lb. 15c, lb. 40c. Not pre-
paid, any quantity at 30 cents per pound.

GREEN POD SORTS

STRINGLESS GREEN POD.--A stringless
green pod bush bean. Surpasses all others in
crisp, tender flavor. Finely shaped, long green
pods, absolutely stringless; ready to market two
weeks earlier than the Valentines. Of immense
value to market gardeners and amateurs who
seek an early bean. Pkt. 10c, 1/4 lb. 15c lb. 40c,
postpaid. Not prepaid, any quantity at 30 cents

dant heavy foliage. The pods are thick and
broad and entirely stringless, and produced in
greater profusion than any other bush bean.
Resembles Yellow Six Weeks in habit of growth.

paid, any quanity at 30 cents per pound.

FULL MEASURE.--A new variety which is a
cross of Refugee and Yosemite Mammoth Wax.

some, of dark green color, and entirely string-
less. Matures as early and equal in quality to

productiveness. Pkt. 10c, 1/4 lb. 15c, lb. 40c, post-
paid. Not prepaid, any quantity at 35 cents per
pound.

celled in quality and uniformity of ripening;

ing, usually within 35 days after planting. Pkt.
