Kentucky Wonder Beans
Also known as Old Homestead. We believe this variety is the most practically useful of the green podded pole beans suitable for use as snaps. It is an early, very prolific sort, with showy pods which are of most excellent quality. The vines are vigorous, climbing well and very productive, bearing pods in large clusters. The pods are medium light green, very long, often reaching nine or ten inches, curved and twisted, nearly round and very crisp when young, becoming very irregular and spongy as the beans ripen. Seed long, oval, slightly flattened, dun colored. One of the very best early pole snap beans for the home and garden or market. . Price -( Pkt. 10c) ( ˝ lb, 20c) (lb., 35c) ( 5 lbs, $1.50) postpaid. Not prepaid (10 lbs and up, 20c per lb). (Wholesale price, ($18.00 per 100 lb,)

Kentucky Wonder Beans
The most productive variety that I have ever known. Pods remarkably long, round and pulpy, covering the poles from top to bottom. I do not recommend it as a shell bean, but as a snap bean it is a “Wonder!” as every market gardener will find. Pkt., 15c.
