 Bush form, and will come into bearing the latter part of July and continue yielding an

GtIRRIE'8 RUST-PROOF fiOlDEN WAX 



The best Wax Bean for market gardeners. The 

 earliest of all Wax Beans. Pods full of meat, ten- 

 der and absolutely stringless. 



A variety of very superior merit, and one that 

 is unequaled by any other Wax Bean in its many excel- 

 lent qualities. It is positively proof against rust. 

 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 rust-proof, but 

 it possesses the most excellent and most desirable quality 

 of being always exceedingly crisp and tender, with 

 no approach whatever to stringiness, and of a most 

 delicious flavor. Among the good qualities of this Bean 

 is its enormous productiveness, and it possesses the fur- 

 ther merit of being the earliest of all Wax Beans. Pkt., 

 10 cts.; pint, 20 cts.; quart, 30 cts.; peck, $1.25: bushel, 84.00.
