18 PETER HENDERSON & GO., NEW YORK.— VEGETABLE SEEDS. 
BEANS, #7 8% P02 
OR BUTTER VARIETIES. 
Yosemite Mammoth Wax. 
The pods frequently attain a length of 
ten to fourteen inches, with the thick- 
ness 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 ofits 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 callattention to 
the necessity of planting this grand vari- 
ety nearly twice as wide apart as ordinary 
bushbeans. (Seecut.) 15c¢.1¢ pt., 30e. pt., 
50e. qt., $2.75 peck. 
Refugee Wax Bean... 
Among green beans, the Refugee type has 
always been most valuable. This wax vari- 
ety has all the peculiar characteristics of the 
old Refugee, such as small, dense foliage, great 
productiveness, roundness of pod and handsome 
appearance. It will readily be seen that the 
advantages gained in producing a wax form of 
this must be great. It produces an enormous crop 
of pods of a clear, transparent color. It remains 
tender longer than any other wax sort, and is practi- 
cally ever-bearing. It is absolutely free from rust, 
and its dense habit of growth renders it proof against 
long-continued drought. This feature is valuable, and 
this is the only Wax Bean that we know of that possesses 
it. 10c. pkt., 30c. pt., 50c. qt., $1.75 peck, $6.50 bushel. 
Improved Golden Wax, 
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 have ever 
seen, being of dark rich golden yellow color 
and of perfect shape. Itis 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 
bush bean can be planted. (See cut.) 10c. 
pkt., 30c. pt., 50c. qt., $1.60 peck, $5.50 
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 per- 
haps excels all others in tenderness 
and richness of flavor. Seeds, 
whenripe, purpleand white. 10c. 
pkt., 25c. pt., 45c. qt., $1.50 peck, 
$5.50 bushel. 
FPLAGEOLET WAX. This 
is really one of the most valu- 
able varieties for either pri- 
vate or market garden pur- 
poses. Itis as early as either 
the Black or Golden Wax 
sorts, and has a peculiar 
value in the fact that it is 
nearly always exempt 
fromrust. The pods are 
often a foot in length, 
exceedingly succulent 
and tender. It is an 
enormously product- 
ive variety. 10c. 
pkt., 30c. pt., 45c. 
qt., $1.60 peck, 
$5.50 bushel. 
GOLDEN- 
EYED WAX. 
This is an early 
and vigorous-growing 
variety, yielding a great 
profusion of tender pods ofa 
beautiful waxy appearance. The 
yine 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 flatand 
large. 10c. pkt., 25¢. pt., 40c. qt., $1.50 peck, $5.00 bushel.
