WAX” 
REFUGEE WAX. 
Among green beans, the Refugee type has always been most 
valuable. This wax variety has all the peculiar characteristics 
of the old Refugee, such as small, dense foliage, great productive-

ness, roundness of pod and handsome appearance. It will readily with few exceptions, are

ing a wax form of this must be great. . It pro- pint. 
duces pods of a clear, transparent color. It 
remains tender longer than any other wax sort, 
and is practically ever-bearing. It is free 
from rust, andits dense habit of growth ren- 
ders it proof against long-continued drought. 
This feature ig yaluable, and this is the only 
Wax Bean we know of that possesses it. (See cut.)

YOSEMITE MAMMOTH WAX. 
The pods frequently attain a length of ten to 
fourteen inches, with the thickness of a man’s 
finger, and are nearly all solid pulp, the seeds being 
very small when the pods are fit for'use. The pods area rich 
golden color, and are absolutely stringless, cooking tender and _ pro- 
delicious. It is enormously productive, as many as 50 of its jet 
oY : gious 
monster pods having been counted on one : 
bush. The plant is so large and vigorous, yielder 
and the ‘pods are so'solid ‘and pulpy, that 
they require a great deal of light and air to 
perfect them. We would again eall atten- 
tion to the necessity of planting this grand 
variety nearly twice as wide apart as ordinary bush 
beans. ; 10c. 42 pt., 20c. pt., 35c. qt, $2/25 peck,

VALENTINE WAX. A striking acquisition has been obtained in the list of Wax Beans through 
a the introduction of this variety. Up till now there has been no variety of such 
An Improved Extra Early’ Valentine prominence among Wax Beans that could compare with that of the Valentine 
q Bean, with round wax pods.%%% among green beans. Wenow have an excellent Wax-podded variety possess- 
Ce ' ing ina remarkable degree the excellent features of this sort. It is very early 
fora Wax Bean. A planting made on June 12th gave us a fair picking by July 28th—46 days. Its valueasa 
_ shipperremains to be proved, but it is certainly very tender, and almost without string; in fact, the 
pod is free from any toughness whatever, but is remarkably solid throughout. It is handsome in appear- 
ance, and while it is fair to say that we have not yet seen it exposed to conditions conducive to the 
development of rust, yet we think it will prove to be almost rustless. (See cut.) 10c. pkt., 20c. pt., 
30c. qt., $1.25 peck, $4.50bushel. ; 
KEFENEY’S RUSTLESS GOLDEN WAX. bsolutely Stringless. Very Prolific. 
Positively Free from Rust. 
A strong-growing bush variety of remarkable vigor and freedom from 
> aN rust; it sends out short tendrils on which pods are formed in 
WS SQ addition to those near the central stalk ef the plant, 
RAEN aos m which accounts for its wonderful productiveness, 
amounting, under favorable conditions, to 100-fold. 
The pods are meaty and well filled, thick-flat 
when young and semi-round later; of rich yellow 
color and fine quality, and entirely stringless, 
even when old enough to shell. They are also free 
from that parchment-like lining which makes 
many varieties tough, unless when very young. 
If the pods are picked as fast as formed, the 
plant continues to furnish a bountiful supply 
for a long season. 10c. pkt., 20c. pt., 30c. qt., $1.25 
peck, $4.50 bushel. 
WARDWELL’S KIDNEY WAX. 
This variety is very hardy, and both pod and 
plants are more robust than usual for a Wax Bean. 
Theshape of the beans is distinct from all other 
Wax varieties, being of a perfect kidney shape. 
It produces a heavy crop of purely Wax pods, which 
are very long, flat, showy and not liable to rust or 
blister. Very early. 10c. pkt, 20c. pt, 30c. qt, 
$1.50 peck, $5.00 bushel. 
FLAGEOLET WAX. This is really one of the 
most valuable varieties for either private or 
market garden purposes. It is as early as either 
the Black or Golden Wax sorts, and’:has a peeu- 
liar value in the faef that it is nearly always 
exempt from rust. The pods are often a foot in 
length, exceedingly succulent and tender. It is
