Breck's Tewksbury Dwarf Horticultural Bean
Due to the unusual beauty and size of its pods, this variety brings consistently higher prices than any other Horticultural Bean sold on the Boston market. When ready to pick, the yellowish surfaces of the pods are beautifully marbled and splashed with bright crimson. The vines bear great numbers of long pods, inclined to curve slightly, generally containing six beans each, although seven are not unusual. Until they have attained full size the pods are comparatively dull and inconspicuous, the color intensifying rapidly as maturity is reached. It is characteristic of the vines to throw out tendrils like those of pole beans, but the plants are distinctly dwarf and upright, displaying no tendency to climb or sprawl over the ground. Our seed stock, which is of the original strain and true to type, is grown for us by one of the most experienced bean specialists in this State. Pkt., 20c; lb., 40c; 2 lb., 75c; 8 lbs., $2.75.
