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 fur-
nish pints at one-half the quart price. Packages con-
tain about two onuces [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
owning to crop failure in many sections.

ties. 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 pick-
ing, usually within thirty-five days after planting. Pkt. 5c, 1/2 pt. 15c, qt. 45c; by express or freight,
1/2 pk. 85c, pk. $1.25.

STRINGLESS GREEN POD BUSH.--The only stringless green pod bush bean in cultivation.
Consequently it surpasses all others in crisp, tender flavor. The finely shaped, long green pods are

mence value, not only to the market gardener but also to the amateur who seeks a rare quality

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 va-
riety. 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 be-
ing more prolific. This improved
stock is one ot 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.
