Currie's Rust»Proof Golden Wax— A variety of very su- 

 perior merit, and one that is unequaled by any other 

 Wax Bean in its many excellent qualities. It is posi- 

 tively proof against rust, that most inveterate and 

 destructive enemy of the Bean. For while grown side by 

 side, for several years, with other Wax Beans, all of them 

 more or less affected by rust, many of them completely 

 ruined by it, this Bean has remained entirely free from 

 rust. Not only is it Bust-proof, but it possesses the 

 most excellent and most desirable quality of being always 

 exceedingly crisp and tender, with no approach 

 whatever tostringiness, and of a most delicious flavor; 

 whereas, as is well known among the few Beans which 

 are said to be nearly rustproof, 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. Not 

 the least among the good qualities of this Bean ie its 

 enormous productiveness, and it possesses the further 

 merit of being the earliest of all Wax Beans. 



Packet, 5 cts. ; pint, 25 cts. ; quart, 40 cts. 

 Improved Prolific Black Wax— This Bean originated from 

 the old Black Wax, but is much superior to its parent. It

 straighter and rounder.

 flavor, great cropper, seeds black when ripe. 



Pkt., 5 cts.; pint, 20 cts. ; quart, 35 cts.

 Limas, coming in directly after the Green and Wax podded sorts ; it is there- 

 fore a decided acquisition, filling up the gap between the Dwarf and Pole 

 Beans. It is of true Bush form, and will come into bearing tbe latter part of 

 July and continue yielding an enormous crop of delicious Beans all through 

 the summer. Pkt., 5 cts.; pint, 25 cts.; quart, 45 cts.
