In fact, they never get tough; even when left to mature and dry on the stalk, they can be pulled, and will cook into a tender, delicious dish of green beans.

It is vith no small degree of satisfaction that we offer this new Bean to- our customers. Each seedsman aspires to be the first in offering new things, and the great competition to secure really valuable vegetables oftentimes. runs the price up to high altitudes. We never let price prevent us from se- curing a really good article, and we paid for the stock of this bean, about 2 bushels, $75. Our experience with it in the past proves that our investment was a wise one. There are several splendid varieties of green pod Pole Beans, but none of them approach Everitt's Alpha in earliness by more than two weeks. This Bean is so early that it can be grown in the far north wherever Bush Beans succeed, while for any section they are unsurpassed in productiveness by any Pole Bean, whether grown on poles or with corn. The vines produce nearly all pods and very few leaves. On this account they may be planted close together, about 2x3 feet. Also are better su i ted to- grow in corn, not pulling the stalks down like the Beans with heavy foliage. The vines keep in bearing a long time. Quality is in all respects equal to the well-known Kentucky Wonder. The color of the seed is bright yellow, which is different from any other Pole Beau, thus proclaiming them a dis- tinct sort. They have never been known to rust or blight. Pods long, round, thick, stringless. The Beans that are enjoyed the most are usually the ones that come first. This is the Bean to grow. Also, the Bean that brings the most money is the- earliest. Here we have it again. As soon as the merits of this Bean are known it will be grown as gen- erally as the now famous Kentucky Wonder.
