NEW WINGOLD WAX BUSH BEAN. 
First offered in 1906 as ‘‘Nameless Wax.” 
When the originator of this bean offered it to 
me, I hesitated some time before listing it, as I 
thought there were already enough wax beans 
on the market; but his earnestness and my 
trials of the bean, so impressed me with its 
merits that I finally decided to offer it. That it 
iS a great acquisition there is now no question. 
. It is absolutely stringless, with beautiful, round, 
yellow pods that will sell at sight on. any mar- 
‘Ket stall. It is free from spots or disease of 
any kind, and from last year’s experiments ma- 
tures much earlier than I expected. With one 
accord, all my friends who tried it last year, 
seem to think it the coming wax sort, espe- 
cially in view of the fact that it is so absolutely 
rust proof, so remarkably hardy, and so won- 
derfully productive. What some of those who 
have planted it think of Wingold had better be 
published in their own words as follows : 
Prices New Wingold Wax Bean for 1908: Packet, 15 cents; pint, 40 cents; quart, 75 cents, postpaid. 
By express, purchaser paying charges, 4 quarts, $2.00. 
The Best Wax Bean in Cultivation. 
Moses H. Kelsey, West Salisbury, Vt.—Your Wingold Wax Bean is a beauty. 
The bushes are of strong, upright growth, haying not the least tendency to vine, 
but holding the pods well off the ground and are very prolific. It is of superior 
quality; the pods are very brittle and meaty; have an excellent flavor aud are 
entirely free from strings, even when the pods become too old for use. One 
remarkable quality of this bean is its ability to withstand wet weather. With us the 
season was very wet, and many varieties. were rendered almost worthless on 
account of rust, from which the Wingold Wax was entirely free. The pods are 
borne in greatest profusion, in clusters of four and six. Were I to condense my 
opinion in one sentence, k would say it is the best wax bean in cultivation. 
Has no Disease from Planting Time Till Harvest. 
Marcus Fidel, Wright, Cal.—_I tried your New Wingold Bean last year. It is 
without fault of any kind, and has no disease from planting time till harvest. In 
growth it is short and stocky, with large and very heavy dark green leaves. 
Shows no inclination to run, but branches freely, and on this account should be 
planted thin. Its bearing is simply enormous; it is literally packed with clear 
yellow pods, as round as a pencil, entirely stringless and without a peerin quality. 
Thirty-six Days from Planting I Picked my First Beans. 
Mrs. G. W. Reimold, Transfer, Pa.—I planted your New Wingold Wax Beans 
last spring, and in 36 days from planting I picked my first beans; they continue to 
bear as long as the longest, the last being as free from strings and rust as the first. 
The vines are a perfect mass of lovely. long, round, crisp yellow pods, as delicious 
in flavor as a nut, and as free from strings and rust as an icicle. 
Ten Days Earlier Than Davis Kidney Wax. 
S. E. Jewell, St. David, Arizona.—Your New Wingold Wax Bean is about 10 days 
earlier than Davis Kidney Wax, has beautiful, round, fleshy pods, of a bright 
waxy color; it is absolutely stringless until nearly ripe; remains a long time in good 
condition after gathering; is very attractive in the market, and delicious on the 
table. My customers all want more of the same beans. 
For Quality and Productiveness They are Equal to the Best. 
Geo. Van Way, Winfield, Kan.—I planted your Wingold Wax Beans at the same 
time I planted Golden Wax, Burpee’s Wax and Kidney Wax Beans; the Wingold 
were full of blossoms before the others showed any bloom, and were soon loaded 
with fine beans fit for use when the others were just beginning to set; putting the 
Wingold one week ahead of these well known varieties. For quality and produc- 
tiveness they are equal to thé best, and for earliness in the front rank. 
Planted May 24th, and July 4th had Beans fit for Market. 
Geo. T. Osborn, Poughkeepsie, N. Y.—I consider your New Wingold Wax a most 
valuable string bean. In the first place it isa strong grower. Second, it stands up. 
which keeps the beans off the ground and isa great advantage. Third, it is a great 
yielder, from 30 to 50 large, straight meaty pods on one plant. Fourth, it isa rust 
proof bean; in June it was very rainy and foggy, which rusted all of my bush beans. 
except the Wingold. Fifth, it continues to bear a long time and the pods are 
meaty. I planted May 24th, and July 4th had beans fit for market. 
Will Stand More Frost Than any Other. 
Frank G. Duffin, Danville, Il.—I am pleased with your New Wingold Bean. It 
is a ready seller, a good yielder.a hearty grower, and a bean that will stand more 
early frost than any other bean in cultivation. 
Pods Round, Full,,Large, Very Meaty, no Strings. 
G.H. Williams, East Sound, Wash.—New Wingold Wax Bean endured the dry | 
weather well, and did not rust or blight. The plant is larger and stronger than 
Wardell’s or any other variety of wax bean I have ever tried. It is very healthy 
and prolific, having blossoms and pods from near the ground to the very tips of 
all shoots or branches. Pods are round full and large, very meaty, no strings, 
even when quiet old. 
One of the Most Hardy of all Wax Beans. 
Mrs. J. H. Jones. Chelsea, Ind. Ter.—Your Winzold Bean is one of the most 
prolific beans I ever grew, and one of the most hardy of all wax beans It is 
rust proof and bears its beans up off the ground. Pods are very brittle and entirely 
stringless, and stay fit to cook longer than any other wax bean: they will do to 
snap until nearly dry. They are a beautiful golden color, bush is very stalky and 
not easily broken by the wind, My husband took a bush to the fair this fall. that 
had just been pulled, with all the beans on it, and we shelled out a quart of dry 
beans, and we got premiums on both the dry and the bush; they botn carried off 
the Blue Ribbon. 
Stands Without a Rival. 
J. W. Jung, Randolph, Wis.—You New Wingold Wax Bean stands without a 
rival as a large, round podded wax bean. It is of unusual hardiness, excellent 
quality, magnificent appearance and great productiveness. The plants are of the 
true bush growth, and well covered with leaves. The leaves are of a deep green 
color and free from rust and blight. which destroys some of our standard varie- 
ties. The pods which are borne in great profusion, are long, round. very solid 
and meaty, free from strings. They are of a rich yellow color, very brittle and 
free from rust. It comes in bearing with earliest green podded varieties and 
being a wax bean presents a more handsome appearance therefore. always com- 
mands a better price. 
A Strong, Robust, Upright Grower. 
L. Bailes, Enoch. W. Va.—Your New Wingold is one of the earliest, best and 
most productive wax beans I ever planted. A strong. robust, upright grower 
producing an immense crop of round pods. which are rich, golden yellow and of 
the best possible quality. For an early bean for home or market, has no superior. 
Loaded with Beautiful Golden Yellow Peds. 
O. J. Garner, Vivian, La.—Wingold Wax Bean stands in the front rank for pro- 
ductiveness. It was loaded with beautifulgolden yellow pods almost transparent. 
that will sell at sight in any market Its free from rust or disease and is ahead of 
anything I have ever planted, for table use, teing tender, crisp and sweet. é 
Very Tender When Cooked and of Fine Flavor. 
Elwood Clark, Centerville, Iowa.—Your Wingold Wax Bean is a strong com- 
pact grower, with very dark foliage, strong stalk and upright growth; free from 
runners; round, golden fleshy pods, with no spots, and stringless Very tender 
when cooked and of fine flavor; also a most prolific bearer. 4 
Never Before Found a Bean Compared with it. 
Miss F. L. Palmer, Brooklyn, Conn.—For 50 years, we have raised beans of 
various varieties, but have never before found a bean to be compared with your 
New Wingold Wax. Itis early, prolific, entirely free from strings, no rust, or 
pets long pods, exceedingly tender and deliciously sweet; it has every desirable 
quality.

Mrs, F. E. Lyon, Schooner Point, Ind.—Your Wingold Wax, is the best wax 
bean I have ever grown. The plants are remarkably vigorous, compact, stout and 
erect; they grow from 18 to 20 inches in height, and hold their load of pods well up 
from the ground. The pods are borne in the greatest profusion, and grow from 7 
to 8 inches in length, producing the most beautiful. long, straight, round. plump

shape. They retain their bright attractive appearance a long time, and do not 
| become tough. Itis extremely early. being ready to pick in 43 days from planting.
