WAX-PODDED BUSH BEANS 



''THE Flat-podded Kinds. 



Wax or yellow-podded beans are unquestionably 

 handsomer in appearance when served in certain fashions. 

 As to the relative quality of wax- and green-podded sorts, 

 even experts disagree. Wax-podded sorts are perhaps 

 of milder (or less) flavor than the green-podded. 



Burpee's New Kidney Wax (No. i) surpasses old Ward- 

 well's in every way. Pods straight, six and a half inches 

 long, half inch wide, light yellow, perfectly stringless at all 

 stages. Ready in sixty days after sowing and good for 

 six weeks thereafter. Color, light yellow. 



Sure Crop Wax (No. 2) is a most bountiful yielder some- 

 what resembling New Kidney Wax, but the seeds are black, 

 pods slightly thicker and more generally borne in clusters. 

 Ready in sixty-four days after planting and the dark 

 yellow pods are produced until frost. 



Hodson Wax is the yellow-podded brother to Hodson 

 Green Podded described on page 53. Both are alike 

 in season of bearing, heavy yielding qualities, and stringy 

 character when old.
