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 the 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 qt. rate if to
be shipped by express. All varieties of beans are scarce
owing to crop failure in many sections.
ERFURT EARLY PROLIFIC BROAD.-See novelties. Per pkt.10c, 1/2 pint 20c, quart 65c.
IMPROVED EARLY VALENTINE.-About ten days
earlier than the common Early Valentine. In addition
to this it is more robust and vigorous, and produces the true, round, curved pods very abundantly.
Unexcelled in quality and uniformity of ripening; nearly the whole crop can be taken at one plcking, usually within thirty-five days after planting. Pkt. 5c, 1/2 pt. 15c, qt. 45c; by express or freight,

Consequently it surpasses all others In crisp, tender flavor. The finely shaped, long green pods are

WARDWELL'S KIDNEY•WAX•BEAN
HARDIEST AND MOST PRODUCTIVE •

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 improvement
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 being of dark, rich golden
yellow color and of perfect shape.
For family or market you make
no mistake in planting them.
