CuRRiE'S Rust-Proof Golden Wax Bean. 



"S RUST - PROOF T 



IME proves beyond a doubt that we possess in this Bean 

 a variety of very superior merit, and one that is un- 

 equaled by any other Wax Bean in its many excellent 

 qualities. The unprecedented demand for the 

 seed alone is sufficient proof of its genuine 

 worth. Last season quantities of this Bean 

 were furnished to many of the largest and most 

 critical Bean growers throughout this country, 

 with the very gratifying result that all reiterate 

 our claims tor it, by pronouncing it the most 

 perfect Wax Bean ever yet introduced. When 

 lirst brought to our notice, we were satisfied 

 that this Bean possessed extraordinary quali- 

 ties, and our most sanguine hopes have not only 

 been fully realized, but the past two seasons, so 

 disastrous to the Bean crop, have demonstrated 

 new features of merit in it that we hardly dared 

 to anticipate. 



Regarding the many excellent qualities of 

 this Bean, we can only briefly repeat, but with 

 more emphasis and with greater assurance, what 

 we said last year. It is positively proof against 

 that most inveterate and destructive enemy of 

 the Bean, the rust. For while grown side by 

 side, for several years, with other Wax Beans, 

 all of them more or less ailected by rust, many 

 of them completely ruined by it, this Bean has 

 remained entirely free from it. I3ut not only is 

 it Rast-Proof, but it possessess the most excel- 

 lent and most desirable quality, of being always 

 exceedingly Crisp and Tender, with no approach 

 tohatever to stringiness, and of a most delicious 

 flavor; whereas, as is well known among the 

 few Beans which are said to be nearly rust- 

 proof, there is not one that is not rendered 

 almost unfit for use, owing to the tough, stringy 

 texture of the pods, and their poor flavor. 



Time has also proven that it is the earliest 

 of all Wax Beans, Golden Wax not excepted. 

 It is, moreover, amazingly productive. The 

 accompanying cut is no exaggeration.but a very 

 _^ __ faithful representation of the plant as it is 



usuallv seen if properly grown. We may add, that never before have we had more pleasure in sending out a plant or seed, or had 

 SLSnceiEy which We recommended to the public, than this truly | wonderful Bean. Pkt., 10 cts.; pmt, 20 cts.; quart, 

 .35 cts.; peck, $2.00; bushel, $8.00. 4. v ^ * ,i 



nir H T Mnnkiii<« Caue Vincent. N. Y., the Moted Bean grower, say s: " I have watched carefully your 

 Rust Proof 'Golden Wax Bean since you first sent it out, and time has shown it to be what it then promised, the most desirable 

 in every respect of any fiat-podded Wax Bean now known to the public.
