'WAX POD VARIETIES. 



WARDWELLS DWARF KIDNEY WAX. This variety is 

 very hardy, and both pod and plants are more robust than 

 usual for a Wax Bean. The shape of the beans is distinct 

 from all other Wax varieties, being of a perfect kidney shape. 

 K produces a heavy crop of purely Wax pods, which are very 

 long, flat, showy, and not liable to rust or blister. It has 

 been claimed that this variety was earlier than any other, but 

 it is generally admitted that, while certainly early, it is not so 

 early by several days as Henderson's Black-Eyed Wax, which 

 we introduced two years ago. (See ait.) Price, 20 cts. per 

 pint; 35 cts. per quart ; $1.80 per peck ; S7.00 per bushel. 



GOLDEN-EYED WAX. (See Novelties, page 6.) 30 cts. pt. ; 

 50 cts. qt. ; $3.00 pk. ; $10.00 bushel. 



YOSEMITE MAMMOTH WAX. (See colored plate and de- 

 scription, page 8.) 15cts. pkt. ; 75cts. i^pt. ; $1.25 pt. ; $2.00 qt. 



BLACK WAX. When ripe the pods are yellow, averaging 7 

 inches in length, very tender and of the best quality. Seeds 

 when ripe glossy black. 20 cts. pt. ; 35 cts. qt. ; $1.50 

 peck; $5.00 bushel. 



GOLDEN WAX. A strong growing, distinct variety, at least 

 a week earlier than the Black Wax. The pods are long, 

 brittle and entirely stringless. As a snap bean it perhaps 

 excels all others in tenderness and richness of. 

 flavor. Seeds when ripe purple and white. 25 cts. 

 pt. ; 40 cts. qt. ; $1.75 peck; $6.00 bushel. 



BLACK-EYED WAX. Although introduced by us 

 only 3 years ago, this distinct and valuable variety 

 has already made a most favorable impression. 

 It is a cross between the Black Wax and the 

 Golden Wax Beans, and in our trials we found it 

 to be the earliest Wax variety in cultivation. It 

 is a robust grower, very productive, very tender, 

 and of exceptionally fine flavor. The pods closely 

 resemble those of the Black Wax, the seed beans 

 being white, marked around the eye with black 

 spots, such as are shown in the illus- 



tration. (See, cut.) 



25 cts. per pint; S^ftk 40 cts. per quart; 

 $1.75 per peck; /j*\y1 $6.00 per bushel. 



BLACK-EYED WAX BUSH BEAN. 



CYLINDER BLACK WAX BEAN. This is an 

 improved stock of Black Wax, so superior to the 

 ordinary strains as to be worthy of a new name. 

 By a comparative test in our trial grounds, we 

 proved beyond question that it was earlier than 

 any other stock, was perfectly round podded, and 

 of an even rich golden color. Enormously pro- 

 ductive. (See cut.) Price, 30 cts. per pt. ; 50 cts. 

 per qt. ; S3. 00 per peck ; $10.00 per bushel. 



IVORY POD WAX. A week later than the Black 

 Wax, bearing long pods of a waxy white color, 

 entirely stringless. Very tender, and an ex- 

 cellent shell bean. Beans ripe are of medium 

 size, white and oval. 20 cts. pt. ; 35 cts. qt. ; 

 $1.60 peck; 86.00 bushel. 



DATE WAX. An early Wax variety (as early as 

 Golden Wax) with white blossoms and flat pods. 

 A very robust grower and good cropper. 20 cts. 

 pt. ; 35 cts. qt. ; $1.50 peck; $5.00 bushel. 



White Seeded Wax. A variety with wax-like 

 pods similar to the Black Wax, except in the 

 color of the seed. 25 cts. pt. ; 40 cts. qt. ; $1.75 

 peck; $6.50 bushel. 



Crystal White Wax. Pods of fair size, rich and 

 tender flavor ; in color waxy white, and almost 

 as transparent as glass. An excellent variety for 

 canning purposes. 20 cts. pt. ; 30 cts. qt. ; $1.75 

 peck ; $6.00 bushel. 



DWARF MONT D'OR. One of the earliest of 

 the Wax varieties. The vines grow vigorously, 

 and are profusely laden with yellow pods. 20 

 cts. pt. ; 35 cts. qt. ; SI. 50 peck ; $5.50 bushel. 



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 peculiar value in the fact 

 that it is nearly always exempt from rust. The pods are of very large 

 size, often a foot in length, exceedingly succulent and tender. It is an 

 enormously productive variety. 25c. pt. ; 40c. qt. ; $1.75 peck ; $6.00 bush. 



BEANS, English or Broad. 



German, Gartenbohne. — French, Feve de Marias. — Spanish, Haba. 



This class is very hardy, and should be planted as soon as the soil is in good state in the 

 spring. Plant four inches apart and two inches deep, in drills four feet apart. To e»sure 

 well filled pods, pinch off the tops as soon as the lower pods begin to set. 



Add 15 cents per quart extra if to be sent by mail. 

 Early Mazagan. Very early and hardy, and bears freely.. 20 cts. per pt. ; 40 cts. per qt. 

 BROAD WINDSOR. Best for general use. 20c. pt. ; 40c. qt.
