| [caption1:] STRINGLESS GREEN POD | DWARF BUSH VARIETIES: (One pound [will] sow 50 feet of drill.) Dwarf or bush beans require no support and may be planted in drills or hills.

Never cultivate when the plants are wet. | [caption2:] IMPROVED GOLDEN WAX |
| IMPROVED GOLDEN WAX: 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, having larger pods and being more prolific.
