'BLUE-PODDED BUTTER BEAN. This is one of ^Ae most remarkable and strikingly odd novelties in Beans ever introduced. It is also one of the most valuable, as it is the sweetest flavored of all string dea)ts, and wonderfully prolific. The compact, bushy plants grow uniformly only twelve inches high, and bear abundantly pods five to six inches long, each containing from six to seven beans.

Per package 15 cts.; 2 packages for 25 cts., postpaid, by mail. W. S.
