WAX POD OR BUTTER VARIETIES. 



German, Bohne. — French, Hari- 

 cot. — Spanish, Frijorenano, 



1 quart to 100 feet in drills; 2 

 bushels to the acre, in drills. 



A succession of sowings can be made 

 from the first week in May until August. 

 These dates are for the latitude of New York ; 

 further south the sowing may be done 

 later, further north earlier. Plant in drills 

 about two inches deep, and from eighteen 

 inches to two feet apart, according to the 

 richness of the soil; the poorer the soil the 

 closer they can be planted. The seeds 

 should be dropped about two inches apart. 



Add 15c. per quart extra if to be 

 sent by mail. 



REFUGEE "WAX. (See Novelties, 

 page 11.) 10c. % pt., 20o. pt., 35c. 

 qt., $2.00 peck, $7.50 bushel. 

 GOLDEN WAX. A strong grow- 

 ing, 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. 10c. }£ pt., 20c. pt., 35c. qt., $2.00 peck, $7.50 bushel. 

 WARDWELL'S 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. 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. }(> pt., 20c. pt., 35c. qt., $2.00 peck, $6.50 bushel. 

 GOLDEN-EYED WAX. This is an early and vigorous growing variety, yielding a great 

 profusion of tender pods of a beautiful waxy appearance. The vine grows about one and 

 a half feet high, holding the pods well off the ground, thus keeping them clean and 

 attractive. It is singularly free from blight and rust. The pods are flat and large. (See cut.) 

 10c. % pt., 20c. pt., 30c. qt., $1.75 peck, $6.00 bushel. 

 CYLINDER BLACK WAX. 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 productive. 10c. % pt., 20c. pt., 35c. qt., $2.00 peck, $7.00 bushel. 

 ■White Seeded Wax. A variety with roundish flat wax-like pods. 10c. % pt., 20c. pt., 35c. qt., $2.00 peck, $7.00 bushel. 

 IMPROVED GOLDEN WAX, In the Improved Golden Wax which we now offer we have a bean that possesses all the good points 

 of the old Golden Wax, but is larger in pod and much more prolific. This improved stock is one of the handsomest beans we havo 

 ever seen, being of dark rich golden yellow color and of perfect shape. It is of grand quality, showing no string or coarseness even when 

 past its best, but is of tender, melting flavor at all stages of its growth. For market gardeners or private families, no better bujib. 

 bean can be planted. (See cut.) 15c. % pt., 25c. pt., 40c. qt., $2.25 peck, $8.00 bushel. 

 FLAGEOLET WAX. 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 often 

 a foot in length, exceedingly succulent and tender. 

 It is an enormously productive variety. 10c. }£ pt., 

 20c.pt., 35c. qt., S2. 00 peck, $7.50 bushel. 

 YOSEMITE MAMMOTH WAX. The pods frequent- 

 ly attain a length of ten to fourteen inches, with the 

 thickness of a man's finger, and are nearly all solid 

 pulp, the seeds being very small when the pods are fit 

 for use. The pods are a rich golden color, and are 

 absolutely stringless, cooking tender and delicious. 

 This is the coming Wax Bean for family or market 

 purposes. It is enormously productive, as many as 50 

 of its monster pods having been counted on one bush. 

 The plant is so large and vigorous, and the pods are so 

 solid and pulpy, that they require a great deal of light 

 and air to perfect them. We would again call attention 

 to the necessity of planting this grand variety nearly 

 twice as wide apart as ordinary bush beans. 15c. }■% pt., 

 25c. pt., 40c. qt., $3.00 peck. 

 BLACK WAX. When ripe the pods are yellow, aver- 

 aging 7 inches in length, very tender and of the best 

 quality. Seeds when ripe glossy black. 10c. % pt., 

 20c. pt, 30c. qt., $2.00 peck, $6.50 bushel. 



GOLDEN-EYED WAX BEAN. 



Millions of People at the World's Fair admired the fine Lawns produced by sowing The "Henderson " Lawn Grass Seed. See pages 4 and 54.
