WARDWELL’S DWARF KIDNEY WAX. This variety is very hardy, 
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. (See cut.) 
, $1.50 peck, $5.00 bushel. 
BLACK WAX. Whenripe the pods are yellow, averaging 7 inches in length, 
very tender and of the best quality. Seeds, when ripe, glossy black. 10c. 
pkt., 25e. pt., 45e. qt., $1.50 peck, $5.00 bushel. 
CYLINDER BLACK WAX. This is an improved stock of Black Wax, so 
superior to the ordinary strains as to be worthy of anew name. By a com- 
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. pkt., 30c. pt., 50c. qt., $1.60 
White Seeded Wax. A variety with roundish flat wax-like pods. 10c. pkt.,

66 , 99 This is certain to be the leading Early . 
Golden Champion. Wax Pole Bean, as it is fully two weeks + 
earlier than the Golden Cluster Wax Pole, being fit to pick on July 24th of last 
year. The pods are enormous, resembling the Yosemite Wax in size and form; 
color light yellow. They are absolutely stringless and cook tender. The Golden 
Champion was the only Wax Pole Bean that did not rust or spot badly in our trial 
grounds last summer. Every garden should contain the Golden Champion and 
““Old Homestead.” 15c. pkt., 40c. pt., 65c. qt., $3.50 peck. 
EARLY GOLDEN CLUSTER WAX. Begins to bear early in July and con- 
tinues until frost. The pods are six to eight inches long, are most freely 
produced, and are of a beautiful golden yellow; the flavor is most delicious. 
Can be used either shelled or as a string bean. 15c. pkt., 35c. pt., 60c. qt., 
$2.75 peck. 
Horticultural, or Speckled Cranberry. Popular either in the green state or 
shelled. 10c. pkt., 30c. pt., 50c. qt., $2.00 peck. 
SCARLET RUNNER. A great favorite, both ornamental and useful. Height, 
ten feet, presenting dazzling scarlet flowers from July to October. Used both 
as a string bean and shelled. Seeds, when ripe, lilac, mottled black. 15c. pKt., 
30c. pt., 50c. qt., $2.00 peck. 
White Dutch Runner. Similar to the preceding, excepting seeds and flower, 
which are white. 15c. pkt., 30c. pt., 50c. qt., $2.00 peck. 
German Wax Pole. One of the best varieties either for snaps or shelled in the 
green state. 10c. pkt., 30c. pt., 50c. qt., $2.00 peck. 
POLE LIMA BEANS. 
LARGE WHITE LIMA. With nearly every one the seeds, either green or 
ripe, of this variety are considered the most tender and delicious of the bean 
family, and it is therefore universally grown both for market and family use. 
The ripe seeds are flattish kidney shape, and have a dull white color. 15c. pkt., 
30¢. pt., 50c. qt., $2.50 peck. 
DREER’S IMPROVED LIMA. The distinctive features of this are early 
maturity, large yield and extra quality. The bean itself is thick and round, 
rather than oval-shaped, as most other Limas are.  15c. pkt., 30c. pt., 50c. qt., 
$2.50 peck. 
JERSEY EXTRA EARLY LIMA. In our experience with it from year to 
year, we have found it invariably ten days to two weeks earlier than any other 
Pole Lima. The pods of it have been large enough to pick July 24th, and have 
been sold in the New York markets a week later. The beans are a trifle smaller 
than those of the Large White Lima, but are all the better on that account, as 
small beans are always considered preferable, being more tender and delicious. 
Every one desiring a Pole Lima Bean should plant the Jersey Extra Early, as it 
combines, better than any other, quantity, quality and earliness. 15c. pkt., 
35c. pt., 60c. qt., $3.00 peck. 
SMALL LIMA OR SIEVA. A variety of the large White Lima. The pods, 
however, are much smaller, usually about three inches long. It is alittle earlier 
and more hardy. The seeds also are smaller, but of the same color as the Large 
White Lima. l5c. pkt., 30c. pt., 50c. qt., $2.50 peck. 
‘“‘Old Homestead.” 
This we regard as far ahead of any other green 
Pole Bean. In our trial grounds last summer it 
was fit for the table on August Ist, which was at 
least ten days earlier than any other green sort. 
It is enormously productive, the pods hanging in 
great clusters from top to bottom of the pole. It 
is entirely stringless, and the pods are a silvery 
green color, resembling the popular Refugee Bush 
Bean. The pods, though large, cook tender and 
melting, and we can recommend it as the best 
green Pole Bean. (See cut.) 15c. pkt., 40c. pt., 
65e. qt., 3.50 peck.
