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. It has been claimed that this 
variety was earlier than any other, but it is generally ad- 
mitted that, while certainly early, it is not so early by 
several days as Henderson’s Black-Eyed Wax, which we 
introduced. four yearsago. (Seecut.) Price, 25 cts. per pint; 
40 cts. per quart; $2.00 per peck; $7.00 per bushel. 
GOLDEN-EYED WAX. This is an early and vigorous grow- 
ing 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; in this respect it stood the test well 
in our trial grounds last year. The pods are flat, larger 
than the Golden Wax, and very nearly as large as the 
Flageolet Wax. (See cut on page 18.) 30 cts. pt.; 50 cts. qt. ; 
$2.25 pk. ; $7.50 bushel. 
YOSEMITE MAMMOTH WAX. (See Novelties, page 7.) 
15 cts. pkt.; 75 ets. 1g pt.; $1.25 pt. ; $2.00 qt. 
BLACK WAX. When ripe the pods are yellow, averaging 7 
inches in length, very tender and of the best quality. Seeds 
when ripe glossy black. 25 cts. pt.; 40 cts. qt.; $2.00 peck; 
$7.00 bushel. 
GOLDEN WAX. A strong growing, 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. 25 cts. pt.; 40 cts. qt.; $2.00 
peck; $7.00 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. (See 
cut.) Price, 30 cts. per pt.; 50 cts. per qt.; $2.25 per peck; 
$7.50 per bushel. 
White Seeded Wax. A variety with wax-like pods similar to 
the Black Wax, except in the color of the seed. 25 cts. pt. ; 
40 cts. qt.; $2.00 peck; $7.00 bushel.

BLACK-EYED WAX. Although introduced 
by us only four years ago, this distinet 
and valuable variety has already made a 
most favorable impression. It is a cross 
between the Black Wax and the Golden 
Wax Beans, and in our trials we found it to 
be the earliest Wax variety in cultivation. 
It is a robust grower, very productive, 
very tender, and of exceptionally fine 
flavor. The pods closely resemble those of 
the Black Wax, the seed beans being white, 
marked around the eye with black spots, 
such as are shown in the illustration. (See 
cut.) 30 cts. per pt.; 50 cts. per qt.; 
$2.25 per peck; $7.50 per bushel. 
IVORY POD WAX. A week later than the 
Black Wax, bearing long pods of a waxy 
white color, entirelystringless. Verytender, 
and an excellentshell bean. Beans ripe are 
of medium size, white andoval. 25 cts. pt.; 
40 cts. qt. ; $2.00 peck ; $7.00 bushel. 
Crystal White Wax. Pods of fair size, rich 
and tender flavor; in color waxy white, 
and almost as transparent as glass. An 
excellent variety for canning purposes. 
25 cts. pt.; 40 cts. qt.; $2.00 peek; $7.00 
bushel. 
DWARF MONT D'OR. One of the earliest 
of the Wax varieties. The vines grow 
vigorously and are profusely laden with 
yellow pods. 20 cts. pt.; 35 cts. qt.; $1.75 
peck; $6.00 bushel. 
FLAGEOLET WAX. This is really one of 
the most valuable varieties for either pri- 
vate 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 of very large size, often a foot in 
length, exceedingly succulent andtender. It isan enormously pro- 
ductive variety. 25 cts. pt.; 40 cts. qt.; $2.00 peck; $7.00 bushel. 
BEANS, English or Broad. 
German, Gartenbohne.—French, Feve de Marias.—Spanish, Haba. 
This class is very hardy, and should be planted as soon as the soilis in good state 
in the spring. Plant four inches apart and two inches deep, in drills four feet apart. 
To ensure well filled pods, pinch off the tops as soon as the lower pods begin to set. 
Add 15 cents per quart extra if to be sent by mail.

per pt.; 40 cts. per qt.
