 List of 



VEGETABLE SEEDS. 



BEANS, DWARF WAX-PODDED— Continued. 



Golden-Eyed Wax. An early, vigorous variety, free from rust and 

 blight, bearing abundantly beautitul, tender, large, flat, waxy-golden 

 pods. It grows 1J feet high, holding the pods well off the ground. . . . 



Henderson's Market Wax. (See special description, page 9.) Anew, 

 unusually robust growing, flat, immense wax-podded variety; pods 

 showy and handsome, clear yellow, stringless and of fine quality. A 

 prolific cropper, very early for so large a sort, and also of fine flavor 

 and valuable as a shell Bean 



Keeney's Rustless Wax. A vigorous wax-podded variety, wonder- 

 fully productive, and bearing continuously for weeks, if the pods are 

 picked as soon as ready. The pods are thick and meaty, entirely 

 stringless, tender and of fine quality. The plant throws out long pod- 

 bearing tendrils which appear at first like runners 



Refugee Wax. Possesses the valuable characteristics of the green- 

 podded Refugee, with the added value of being wax-podded and of 

 great productiveness; practically everbearing. Pods handsome, 

 round, transparent yellow, remaining tender long. A great drought 

 and rust resister 



Valentine Wax. An extra early Valentine with round wax pods, pos- 

 sessing the excellent features of the green-podded sort. It is very 

 early, giving a fair picking in 46 days. A great yielder of handsome 

 waxy-yellow pods, solid, meaty, tender and almost stringless 



Wardwell'S Kidney Wax. One of the best large-podded wax Beans. 

 Very robust and hardv, producing a heavy crop of showy, large, long, 

 fl»t wax pods, not liable to rust or blister 



Yosemlte Mammoth Wax, Henderson's. A grand variety, yielding 

 prodigiously immense golden-yellow, waxy pods 10 to 14 inches long; 

 they are thick, meaty and absolutely stringless, cooking tender and 

 delicious. It is a robust-growing sort, needing to be planted twice as 

 far apart as ordinary bush Beans. Succeeds well on poor soils 



BEANS, BUSH LIMA. 



Improved " Henderson " Bush Lima. (See special description, page 

 6.) A true bush variety. 18 to 20 inches high, requiring no support; 

 enormously productive and early, coming in weeks ahead of any 

 other Lima and bearing continuously until frost, succeeding even 

 in Northern States; the beans have the true Lima flavor, buttery, 

 rich and tender. The surest cropper of all 



" Henderson " Bush Lima. The original — about 3 days earlier 

 than the Improved — but pods and beans are smaller 



Burpee's Bush Lima. A bush form of the Large White Lima, grow- 

 ing about 20 inches high; the pods and beans are nearly the same size 

 as the latter. While not as early as the " Henderson," its large size 

 commends it to many 



Dreer's Bush Lima. A bush variety of the "Dreer" Lima. Beans 

 thick, sweet and succulent, growing close together in the pods. Growth 

 vigorous, about 18 inches high, with abundant foliage, always succeed- 

 ing even in dry seasons 



New Wonder Bush Lima, Dreer's. A distinct bush variety; plant 

 and pod very similar to Burpee's Bush, but earlier and a surer cropper; 

 the shelled beans are handsome, tender and delicious. An acquisition.

 10.) A grand new variety, extremely early, of immense size, wonder- 

 fully productive and of superior quality

 ily and market use. The large, flat, kidney-shaped beans, shelled 

 either green or dried, are tender and delicious when cooked 



Jersey Extra Early Lima. Often ready to pick the latter part of July, 

 much earlier than the Large White Lima, though the beans are a 

 trifle smaller but preferable, being exceedingly tender and delicious; 

 very prolific 



Dreef'S Improved Lima. A thick, almost round Bean of fine quality 

 and a large yielder; very early 



Small Lima, or Sieva. A small seeding variety of Large White Lima

 page 10.) A new climbing Bean of robust growth; an early and prolific

 fusion clusters of fleshy green pods, 5 to 6 inches long, deeply creased,

 bean. The matured beans are pure white and excellent shelled

 abundantly until frost large clusters of golden-yellow pods 6 to 8 

 inches long and of delicious flavor. Valuable either as a shell or snap

 useful either as a green-podded snap Bean or when shelled in the dry 

 state

 green-podded beans; used either as a snap Bean or shelled
