Heans—wWax-Pod Varieties.— Continued. 
New Round Pod Kidney Wax. 
if New Round Pod Kidney Wax.—A striking ac- 
quisition has been obtained in the list of Wax Beans through 
the introduction of this variety. Up till now there has been 
no round-podded Wax Bean possessing the excellent market 
and shipping qualities of the well known Wardwell’s Kid- 
ney Wax. The plant grows tall andstrong with long round, 
handsome pods, of a rich golden color, which are entirely 
stringless, and remain in a good marketable condition long- 
er than any known. Asa snap brand it excels all others in 
tenderness and richness of flavor. It has proved to be free 
from rust, very early and prolific. The best wax bean for 
market gardeners and shippers. Quart, 25c.; peck, $1.75. 
Davis’ Kidney Wax.—This plant is a vigorous 
grower, carrying the pods well up from the ground. In 
productiveness it is astonishing, as it will produce at least 
one-third more bushels of pods to the acre than any other 
Wax Bean. The pods are long, straight, oval, of clear waxy- 
white color, and handsome, often growing to a length of 
seven to eight inches, and when fit for use are quite string- 
less and of fine flavor. One of the main points of superior- 
ity over other sorts is its extreme hardiness and shipping 
qualities. Another good point of merit is, the plants pro- 
duce a very small portion of waste or second quality pods. 
Quart, 20c ; peck, $1.50; bush., $6.00. 
Varieties for Use as Shell Beans. 
These are grown in large quantities for the winter 
market. They are desirable also to raise for home use. 
They should be planted in rows three and a half to four 
feet apart for horse cultivation, dropping three or four seeds 
in hills one foot apart in the row. The land should be rich 
and the plants given frequent cultivation during growth. 
When pods ripen the plants may be pulled up on a clear 
day, well dried and stored in a barn for threshing when 
convenient. 
White Marrowfat.—This is the standard variety 
gtown for white soup beans. The plants are semi-running 
in habit, two feet in height and very productive. Beans of 
good size, slightly oval, and quite thick through. Quart, 
15c.; peck, 75c.; bush., $2.75. 
JWhite Kidney Royal Dwarf. — An excellent 
led Bean, green or ripe. One of the best for winter 
se. Seeds large, white, kidney-shaped. Quart, 20c.; peck, 
75c.;bush., $3.00.

one’foot apart in the row. 
Burpee’s Bush Lima. — Beans as 
large as the large Pole Lima, but dwarf, and 
come absolutely true from seed. The bushes 
grow eighteen to twenty inches high, of 
short growth, and always erect, branching 
vigorously. The bush character is thor- 
oughly established. It is an immense Bean, 
bearing from fifty to two hundred handsome 
large pods, well filled with very large beans. 
Quart, 25c.; peck, $1.50; bush., $5.00. 
¢ Dreer’s Dwarf Lima.—True bush

¥ Dreer’s Wonder Dwarf Lima.—

provement on the well-known Burpee’s 
Bush Lima, being seven to ten days earlier, 
with pods four to five inches in length, each § 
containing three and sometimes four large 
beans of finest flavor. This strain is of a 
neat strictly dwarf growth, free from any 
tendency to make runners; a large crop can 
Plant in rows two feet apart, plants 
be grown froma small space. Quart, 25c.; 
peck, $1.75.
