THE MAULE SEED BOOK FOR 1908 
BUSH BEANS.—WAxX OR YELLOW POD. 
Davis Kidney Wax. a 
A wax podded variety, almost wholly rust 
proof, with kidney shaped white seeds. The 
high claims which I made for it in 1895, when 
introducing it to the public, have been abun- 
dantly verified, as it is now in universal favor. 
It is handsome, prolific and profitable, and not 
excelled by any of the wax sorts. It is of strong 
growth, and holds its long, straight pods well 
above the ground. The pods are of a clear, 
waxy white color, and are more conspicuous 
than the foliage itself when the bush is in full 
bearing. Pods plump, full and entirely rust 
proof, or aS nearly so as any bean may be. It 
is used as a snap short and also as a shelled 
bean. It is of extremely high table quality, 
and is adapted to home use or market, and is 
not excelled for canning purposes by anything 
within my knowledge. Pkt., 10c.; pt., 25c.5 
qt., 40c., postpaid.

Kidney Wax. 
The Market Gardener’s Favorite. 
Many progressive gardeners will have no other than 
Wardwell’s Kidney Wax Bean. In the South especially 
an enormous acreage is annually planted, with great 
profit to the growers. Itis one of the best, earliest and 
most hardy of the wax sorts. Vines of medium size, pods 
long and flat and of a delicate waxy yellow; very brittle 
and stringless. My stock of Wardwell’s this season is 
remarkably choice, and I am able to offer this variety at 
@ more reasonable price than for a number of years. 
Packet, 10 cents; pint, 25 cents; quart, 40 cents, 
postpaid. Peck, $1.75; bushel, $6.25. 
PENCIL POD and HODSON WAX.—(See green pages. ) 
Wm. H. Harrison, Gee, Va.—I set out half an acre of your Lup- 
ton Cabbage last fall, and this spring got over one hundred dollars 
from it; every one who saw them said they had never seen such 
fine cabbage. A lot of them weighed 12 pounds each, they sold 
right along in the stores at 4 cents per pound; people were glad to 
get them and would come 4 and 5 miles to my place for them. 
Jones 
Stringless Wax. 
Is certainly one of the most desir- 
able wax beans introduced for many 
years, and I cheerfully recommend 
it to all my customers as a sort sure 
to please, and give entire satisfaction 
at all times and under all conditions. 
It is a yellow podded bush bean with 
white seed. The pods are round and 
plump, and attain a length of 5 to 
7 inches. They are-thick and fleshy, 
and as handsome in the basket as 
could be desired. The podtis perfectly 
stringless, thus giving name to the 
variety. The beans are of prime table 
quality, either green or dry. Packet, 
10 cts.; pint, 25 cts.; quart, 40 cts., 
Drolitic Black Wan) 
An improved strain of the old Black Wax; a 
stronger grower, with longer, straighter and 
rounder pods, and twice as prolific... My custo- 
mers say they want no better bean. Its hand. 
some, yellow, fleshy, stringless pods commend it 
| for both home and market purposes. Packet,

PROLIFIC BLACK WAX. 
Robt. Belton, Mt. Airy, N. C.—Enclosed find check in 
settlement of my account. I have a fine crop; am ship- 
ping beans and cabbage to Florida. Your All Head Early 
Cabbage is the finest I ever saw; they average about 5 
pounds to the head; I have 5 acres of them and every 
plant made a head, they are the solidest cabbage I ever 
raised; I am getting $2.50 per 100 pounds for them in Flor- 
ida. I think the 5 acres will make a hundred and twenty 
or one hundred and fifty thousand pounds. They are the 
cabbage for the South, they mature quick and grow solid 
from the start, and the worms do not hurt them. 
D. L, Swift, Penawawa, Wash.—I must tell you about the 
profit I had from a 40-cent packet of your Green Podded 
Stringless Beans. I sold $11.75 from the 40 cents worth, we 
had all we wanted to eat there are lots of nice, tender 
beans on the vines now and will be until frost. Your Pan- 
mure All Heart Watermelon is perfection, and your Im- 
mensity Lettuce is the finest I have ever raised, it is as 
tender and sweet as sugar until the middle of July, and 
this is a very hot climate. 
Mrs. B. C.’Lemons, Stratford, Texas. — My Stringless 
Wax Beans are now in full crop, and I must say they are 
the first absolutely stringless beans I ever saw.

JONES STRINGLESS WAX BUSH. 
Improved Rust Proof 
Golden Wax. 
This is a decided improve- 
ment on the old Golden Wax. 
In fact, I no longer catalogue 
Golden Wax, on account of its 
great liability to rust or spot; 
but this strain is almost wholly 
free from such defect. Im- 
proved Rust Proof Golden Wax 
has far more vigor than its 
parent, and hence its name. 
The pods are flat and succu- 
lent, and are borne in great pro- 
fusion, and I commend it to the 
public as a superior wax bush 
bean. The average size, Shape 
and appearance of both pod and 
seed are shown in the illustra- 
tion, which is engraved from 
nature. Packet, 10 cts.; pint, 
25 ets.; quart, 40 cts., post- 
paid. Pk., $1.75; bu., $6.50.
