JONES’ STRINGLESS, WHITE SEED, ROUND POD WAX BEAN. 
This grand absolutely stringless bean, is the result of cross-breeding between Yosemite and a white seed 
cross from Ivory Pod Wax. It will without doubt become one of the most popular of all our Wax varieties now 
grown, combining points never before obtained in a ¢rue stringless wax pod. It is of true bush type free from 
any tendency to form runners, of strong growth, with medium tall stocky footstalk, and compact bushy tops, 
which are a complete mat of white blossoms from the ground to tip, is absolutely rust proof on all soils and in 
the most unfavorable season. It is nearly a week earlier than any strain of Black Wax, the pods forming very . 
-quickly and are long, perfectly round and exceptionally solid, of a delicate light yellow color, perfectly stringless at all 
-stages of growth, showing no coarseness even when past their prime; retains its brittleness and fine table quality 
when nearly matured. When ripe the seeds are white, medium, round and plump. In summing up its good 
‘qualities the originator claims that more bushels per acre of green pods can be picked from an acre than from 
any other wax bean known and if left to ripen a larger yield of dry beans can be harvested than from the field 
varieties ; also can be planted later in the season with the certainty of acrop. For the home garden use two 
seeds in a hill, 10 to 12 inches between the hills, rows 18 to 24 inches apart. Pkt., .15.
