. Philips' 1899 catalogue : garden, farm and flower seeds. Nursery stock Pennsylvania Mercersburg Catalogs; Vegetables Seeds Catalogs; Grasses Seeds Catalogs; Flowers Seeds Catalogs; Livestock Catalogs. 5EANS. Of the many varieties of Beans the following lists comprises the very best, of all of which our stock is extra choice, grown from stock seed carefully selected and improved by continued inteligent selection, all the varieties of this class are tender, and will not bear cold. Plant about the middle of April, if the ground is warm and season favora- ble, plant at intervals throughout the season for succession, finishing about the loth of August. The best mode of culture is in rows 2 feet apart, the beans 3 inches apart and 2 inches deep in the row. Keep well hoed up to their stems, but only when dry, working them when wet with rain or dew will cause them to rust and injure the pod. Add 15 cents'per quart extra if to be sent by mail. New Stringless Green Pod. The only stringless green-pod bush bean in cultivation. Consequently it surpasses all others in crisp, tender flavor. The illustration herewith shows the width and thickness of the beautiful, straight, green pods taken from nature; all are absolutely stringless and of the beautiful fleshy appearance shown. When we add that the pods are ready to market earlier than the best stock of Improved Extra Early Red Valentines, in fact, even earlier than the Early Yellow Six Weeks, which, as all know, is valuable only for its extra eariiness, being of inferior qual- ity, we are sure that New Stringless Green Pod will supply a long-felt want. It must prove of immense value not only to the market gardener who wants to make more money, but -also to the amateur who seeks a rare quality early for the home table.
