WAX BUSH BEAN. 



The Perfection of Cylinder-podded Dwarf Wax Beans. 



THIS new round-podded Dwarf Wax Bean, the latest 

 applicant for popular favor, has attained the 

 top notch of perfection among beans of this 

 class. It has been so highly bred and selected that 

 it excels all others in its combination of essential 

 qualities, among which we mention remarkable 

 uniformity in size and shape. It produces no 

 culls, the" pods average five to six inches in 

 length, which is unusually large for a round- 

 podded, wax variety; they are very solid, meaty 

 and tender, free from string, breaking brittle, 

 and the flavor is unsurpassed. These desir- 

 able table qualities are retained well on to- 

 wards maturity or long after many other sorts 

 have become too tough and stringy to use. 

 The plant is everything desirable, a bushy, 

 robust grower, with splendid protecting foli- 

 age, free from rust or mildew, and it is ex- 

 tremely prolific. It is also very hardy, en- 

 ablingit to be grown for both early, mid- 

 summer and late autumn use. 

 Price, 15c. 4 pt., 30c. pt., 50c. qt., $3.00 pk. 



"/ tried half a pint of your Golden Scimitar Wax 

 Beans last year, and gathered four and one-half bushels 

 for market, bfsides our family used about fire iiecks; 

 they have proven themselves to be wonderful beans 

 certainly all you claim for them."

W /-\.A. DUOO DEL,/-\1>. will entirely displace other flat- 

 podded wax beans. The plants are 

 unusually robust, with luxuriant, health}' foliage, resisting disease and unfavorable weather, and 

 whether sown early, midseason or late, invariably produce in greatest abundance the largest 

 nd handsomest waxy, golden-yellow pods we have ever seen. They are of immense 

 size, nearly six inches in length, and of great breadth, entirely free from green tips. The 

 quality, unlike some varieties of similar type, is fully equal to that of the smaller 

 podded dwarf wax beans, and the pods, though flat, are thick, meaty, very tender, 

 entirely stringless even when approaching maturity, and of mild, fine flavor. 

 It is very early for so large a sort, rendering it of especial value as a market 

 bean. This new bean is not only desirable as an edible wax-podded snap 

 bean, but is also valuable as a shell bean, the delicious flavor equaling 

 that of sorts grown exclusively for this purpose. Price, 15c. \

Improved Golden Wax Busti Bean. 



THE STANDARD FLAT, WAX-PODDED VARIETY. 



Among the Yellow Wax-Podded or "Butter" Beans, the Golden 

 Wax has long been in popular favor, but this Improved 

 -ariety by far surpasses the old favorite in several desirable 

 points. The plants are of vigorous, bushy growth, not 

 ^^ susceptible to rust, moderately early and very 

 ^*^^ prolific. The pods are exceedingly handsome, large, 

 uniformly broad, thick and almost all solid flesh, 

 of good quality, tender and brittle, absolutely 

 without string or coarse fibre at all stages until 

 maturity, while the color is of a rich golden- 

 yellow. Although not the earliest dwarf wax 

 s reliability in producing a heavy 

 of large handsome pods, whether 

 wn in spring, summer or early fall, 

 renders it highly valuable for both 

 home and market planting.
