Beans

Dwarf Bush Varieties

(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 funish pints at one-half the quart price. Packages contain
about two ounces. Price includes postge except at peck and
half peck rates. Deduct 15c from quart rate if to be shipped by
express. All varities of beans are scarce owing to the cropp fail
ure in many section and you should order early to be sure you
get the variety you want.

Wax Pod Sorts

Improved Golden Wax. In spite of all the new sorts of
beans being introduced every year, our trade calls for more
Golden Wax than any other variety. This great popularity is due
largely to the fact that the variety we have is a great improve
ment on the old Golden Wax, having larger pods and being more
prolific. This improved stock is one of the handsomest beans we
have ever seen, the pods a dark, rich yellow color and of
perfect shape. For family or market you make no mistake in
planting them. Pkt. 5c, 1/2 pt. 15c, qt. 45c. By exoress, 1.2 pk. $1.00, pk. $1.75.

Germaan Black Wax. This strain of Black Wax is in our
opinion superior to that generally offered. Pods tender, round
fleshy and stringless. Pkt. 5c, 1/2 pt. 15c, qt. 45c. By express, 1/2 pk. $1.00 , pk. $1.75.

Silver Wax. A beautiful new wax bean with pods of peculiar
silvery color. A strong grower, vigorous, early and very prolific.
Pods are round, very tender, free from rust and diseases and the at
tractive shape and appearance together with its valuable qualities
should make it one of the most popular beans on the list. Our illus
tration gives some idea of the symmetry of the pods but we cannot
convey the beauty of these beans in such a picture. Recommended to
all lovers of wax beans. Pkt. 5c,
1/2 pt. 20c, qt. 50c. By express, 1/2 pk.
$ 1.10, pk. $2.00.

Davis White Wax. A new white, rustless, productive, wax
podded bean; pods flat, very long, white, straight and handsome; seeds
clear white; excells all others in hardiness and productiveness. One
of the best for shipping as snap beans and of the greatest value as
a market variety. The length, uniformly perfect shape and fine color
of the pods and the clear, white seed, make this one of the best for
canners. It is just what they want: a long, straight, clear white pod
which does not discolor in canning. Pkt. 5c, 1/2 pt. 15c, qt. 45c. By
express, 1/2 pk. $1.00 , pk. $1.75.

Wardwell's Kidney Wax. One of the earliest and most pro
ductive of all wax beans. Yields large crop of long, nearly straight,
broad, and creamy white, handsome pods. They are good quality
and always command a ready sale. Pkt. 5c, 1/2 pt. 15c, qt. 45c. By ex
press, 1/2 pk. $1.00 , pk. $1.75.

Most prolific green podded sort, thick and
fleshy. This is a splendid green pod variety.

tiveness. Without question it will yield
greater returns than most green pod varie
ties. Pkt. 5c, 1/2 pt. 15c, qt. 40c. By express,
1/2 pk. 85c , pk. $1.50.

green pod variety. Very popular. About ten days earlier than the

quality and uniformity of ripening; nearly the whole crop can be
taken at one picking, usually within thirty-five days after planting.
