Improved Refugee, or 1000 to 1 Bean
Our strain is extra fine, of true bush growth fifteen inches in height, branching freely. The pods are nearly round, light green, five inches long, tapering to a slender point; fleshy, brittle, and mild in flavor, with slight strings. Rather later than the other green-podded sorts, but extremely prolific. Very popular with canners on account of the handsome appearance of the pods when picked while quite young. Pkt., 10c; pt., 30c; postpait. qt., 35c; 4 qts., $1.25; peck, $2.25.
