WAX SOETS. 



Cylinder Black Wax — Hend. Growth strong, even; foliage yellowish 

 green, leaflets large; pods light yellow, round, curved. Valuable for strong 

 growth, productiveness, tender pods and freedom from rust. Synonyms 

 {Prolific German Wax — Burpee, Black Wax — Hallock, Pickett's No. 1.) 



Saddle-hack Wax — Burpee. Seems to be a well-selected strain of 

 Black "Wax, and shows no evidence of a cross with Yosemite Mammoth as 

 claimed. 



Bust-proof (Currie's) — -Vaughan. In growth of vine, and in pod, this 

 variety closely resembles Black Wax. The bean is blue-black. It was 

 first in earliness, but was not remarkably productive, nor free from rust, as 

 its introducers claim. 



Yosemite — Hend. Growth strong, nearly free from rust; pods yellow, 

 long, much curved. Productive.

 round, tender, and well flavored. Quite productive.

 considerable rust; pods yellow, long, usually curved. Bean large, flat, 

 brownish-red.

 stronger growth, and beans of violet color.

 is yellow-green with brown eye. 



Mammoth Wax — Hend. {Butter Wax — Maule). Growth strong; foli- 

 age yellowish-green, leaflets large; little rust; bloom large, white; pods
