WM. HENRY MAULE, PHILADELPHIA, PA. Vegetable Seeds—35 
Imperial Wax 
or Golden Crown 
This remarkable new bush bean has long golden pods. 
The pods are round, plump and perfectly stringless. The 
seeds are white, and their color makes them sell quickly 
in the ripe or dry state. Its enormous yield, fine table 
quality and freedom from string place it in the front 
rank, and make it of peculiar value to the private grow- 
er, the market gardener and the canner. The vine is of 
the bush type, with strong and vigorous growth, with the 
load of pods carried well above the soil. In addition to 
this, spikelets are thrown out above the foliage, which 
in turn produce pods, thus adding materially to the total 
yield of the plant, Imperial is very early, free from rust / 
and blight, and produces marketable pods very quickly. aj, kt 
The golden shade is acquired by the pod when young. Nal iS 
It ripens so early that it can be harvested before the ¥ 
late August rains. Pkt. 10 cts.; pt., 25 cts.; qt., 
40 cts., postpaid. Peck, $1.75; bushel, $6.50.

New Pboamating Wax. 
A Winner Every Time on the Table, on the Market Stall and in the Cash Returns 
it Makes the Grower. You Certainly Need it in Your 1908 Garden. 
This grand wax bean, which was first offered in 1903 as ‘‘Nameless,’’ has certainly 
7] rpassed my expectations. 30,000 packets were distributed free for trial among 
ee customers, who, without a single exception, were delighted, not only with its 
wonderful productiveness, but also with its fine flavor and handsome appearance. 
I offered in my 1903 catalogue $100 in eash prizes for a suitable name for Profusion 
“Wax Bean. More than 10,000 names were suggested by my customers, six of 
| whom selected the name Profusion Wax, which I considered the most appropriate 
for the variety, and the hundred dollar prize was divided as 
among them. The illustration herewith is no exaggeration 
whatever. The vines are literally covered with fine, long, 
handsome transparent yellow pods, which are remarkably 
brittle, as it has no strings whatever. It is very sure to 
make a reputation for itself either in the home or market 
garden under all circumstances. It is a wonderfully strong 
grower. Pods are round, of very large size, and always full 
of meat. In addition to these good qualities it is very early 
and continues in bearing a long time. Profusion Wax will 
hold its own at all times against the strongest competition. 
Packet, 10 cents; pint, 25 cents; quart, 40 cents, 
by mail, postpaid. Peck, $1.75; bushel, $6.25. 
The Silver Bean. 
A desirable strain of the White Wax. The pods are of a 
beautiful silvery color, and are borne in great profusion. 
They are sweet and tender. I predict that this bean will jj. . 
become popular, as it shows vigor of vine as well as good ||!!! 
quality, and the pods thus far show no disposition to spot. 
Packet, 10 cents; pint, 25 cents; quart, 45 cents, postpaid. 1
