IMPROVED 
GOLDEN WAX. 
Y IMPROVED GOLDEN WAX. This is one 
of the handsomest beans we haveever seen, 
being of dark rich golden yellow color O? - 
andof perfect shape. It is of grand qual- > 
ity, showing nostring or coarseness even 
when past its best, butis of tender, melt- 
ing flavor at all stages of its growth. 
For market gardeners or private fam- 
ilies, no better bush bean can be 
planted. (See cut.) 10c. pkt., 20c. pt., 
30c. qt., $1.50 peck, $5.00 bushel. 
\GOLDEN WAX. A strong-grow- 
ing, distinct variety, at least a 
week earlier than the Black Wax. 
The pods are long, brittle and en- 
tirely stringless. As a snap bean 
it perhaps excels all others in ten- 
derness and richness of flavor. 
Seeds, when ripe,. purple and 
white. 10c. pkt., 15c. pt., 25c. qt., 
$1.40 peck, $4.50 bushel. 
y [(eeteu’s Rustless Golden Wax. 2 
A strong-growing bush variety of re- 
markable vigor and freedom from rust; it 
sends out short tendrils on which pods are 
formed in addition to those near the central 
stalk of the plant, 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., $1.50 peck, $5.00 bushel. 
/ VALENTINE WAX. fin Improved Extra Early Valentine Bean, with round wax pods. 
A striking acquisition has been obtained in the list of Wax Beans through the introduction of 
this variety. Up till now there has been no variety of such prominence among Wax Beans that 
could compare with that of the Valentine among green beans. We now have an excellent Wax- 
podded variety possessing in a remarkable degree the excellent features of this sort. It is very 
early for a Wax Bean. A planting made on June 12th gave us a fair picking by July 28th—46 days. 
Its value as a shipper remains to 
be proved, but itis certainly very 
tender, and almost without 
string; in fact, the pod is free 
from any toughness whatever, 
but is remarkably solid through- 
out. It is handsome in appear- 
ance, and while itis fair to say 
that we have not yet seen it ex- 
posed to conditions conducive to 
the development of rust, yet we 
- think it will prove to be almost 
rustless. (See cut.) 10Oc. pkt., 
20c. pt., 30c. qt., $1.60 peck, 
$5.50 bushel. 
WARDWELL’S KIDNEY WAX. 
This variety is very hardy,and 
both pod and plants are more 
robust than usual for a Wax 
Bean. The shape 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., $1.60 peck, $5.50 bushel. 
YOSEMITEMAMMOTHWAX. Thepodsfrequently attainalength 
of ten to fourteen inches, with the thickness of a man’s finger, and are 
nearly all solid pulp, and are enormously productive. They area 
rich golden color, and are absolutely stringless, cooking tender and 
delicious. We would again call attention to the necessity of planting 
: this grand variety nearly twice as wide apart as ordinary bush beans. 
VALENTINE WAX BEAN, (See cut.) 10c. 14 pt., 20c. pt., 35c. qt., $2.25 peck, $8.00 bushel. 
BEANS, PEAS and GORN we do NOT deliver free, but will do so if 5c. per pint or 10c. per quart is added to prices.
