(One quart will sow 100 feet of drill.)

Dwarf or bush beans require no support and should be planted in drills an inch and a half deep and drop the beans three inches apart in drills. Beans are tender annuals and cannot be planted until danger of frost is past. A sandy loam is the best. The half pint packages will be found very desirable for small families. We furnish pints at one-half the quart price. Packages contain about two ounces. Price includes postage except at peck and half peck rates. Deduct 15c from quart rate if to be shipped by express. All varieties of beans are scarce owing to the crop failure in many sections and you should order early to be sure you get the variety you want.

IMPROVED GOLDEN WAX.- In spite of all the new sorts of beans being introduced e very year, our trade calls for more Golden Wax than any other vari ety. This great popularity is due largely to the fact that the variety we have is a great improvement on the old Golden Wax, having larger pods and being more prolific. This improved stock is one of the hand somest beans we have ever seen, the pods a dark, rich golden yellow color and of perfect shape. For family or market you make no mistake in planting them. Pkt. 5c, 1/2 pt. 15c, qt. 50c; by express, 1/2 pk. $1.20, pk. $2.00.
