Ricst at the head of my list of 
Beans, I wish to call the attention 
of my customers to that superb vari- 
ety of dwarf wax beans, first offered 
by myselfand D. M. Ferry & Co., of 
Detroit, last year, namely, the New 
Davis Kidney Wax. No list is com- 
plete without this profitable variety, ~ 
which my friends will find pictured 
true to life on this year’s colored 
vegetable plate. 
@®m es, 2 62aece eq 
EARLY MOHAWK.—A hardy, 
early sort, of old-established reputa- 
tion. Pkt., 10 cts.; pt., 20 cts.; qt., 35 cts. 
IMPROVED EARLY YELLOW 
SIX WEEKS.—After Valentine, I 
believe this bean is the next best -.- 
extra early green pod. It is abso- 
lutely stringless until it attains full 
Sj size. It is extra early, very produc- 
tive, and always makes a good, 
4 thick, meaty pod. Pkt, 10 cts.; 
pt., 25cts.; qt., 40 cts. 
ROUND PODDED REFU- 
GEE.—This old, well known 
variety has lately been greatly 
improved by one of our most 
celebrated bean growers. It is 
somewhat later than either of 
the above, but still. it is won- 
derfully prolific, of excellent 
shape, and in every way desir- 
able; has always been largely 
grown for pickling. PKt., 10 cts.; pt., 20 cts.; qt., 35c. 
BEST OF ALL.—Pods are long, very fleshy, 
succulent and stringless, of good flavor. They are 
produced medium early and abundantly. Market 3 
gardeners in the neighborhood of New Orleans 
have long considered them the best of all. Al- 
though only known in the North toa limited ex- 
tent, all planting them agree they well deserve the 
name. Packet, 10 cts.; pint, 25 cts.; quart, 45 cts. 
NEW PROLIFIC GERMAN WAX.—This is a decided improvement on the old German 
Wax Butter Bean, being a stronger grower, with longer, straighter and rounder pods, and at the 
same time is more than twice as prolific. Just as the Rust Proof Golden Wax has taken the place 
\ of the old Golden Wax, so has Prolific Wax taken the place of theold German Wax Bean; so much 
; \) so that I do not consider there is any necessity of listing the other variety any longer. All who 
planted Prolific Wax last season are loud in their praises,and want no better bean. Its very hand- 
some golden yellow fleshy pods, entirely free from strings, borne in immense clusters on every 
plant, recommend Prolific Wax to the market and home gardener. Pkt., 10c.; pint, 25c.; qt., 45c. 
IMPROVED RUST PROOF GOLDEN WAX.—As we all know, the Golden Wax has long m 
been a popular and desirable variety, its greatest fault being its liability to rust, especially in wet 8 
weather. This new strain of Golden Wax is really all its name implies. Pods are thicker than 
Golden Wax, and if anything of better quality, and above all, absolutely rust proof. I have now § 
handled this variety for five seasons, and it has given unbounded satisfaction to all my custo- @ 
mers, SO much so that I can conscientiously recommend every friend of the old Golden Wax to ~ 
give the Rust Proof a trial, and they will not want any other. Pkt., 10 cts.; pint, 30 cts.; quart, 50 cts. 
YOSEMITE WAX.—No other Dwarf Bush Bean can anywhere near approach Yosemite in 
AN WAX. size, pods being often 8 to 9 inches long, and as thick as a man’s finger. Pods are nearly all solid 
meat, and are absolutely stringless, always cooking tender and deli- P P 
cious. Is enormously prolific,and has given great satisfaction the 
last few years to all my customers. Pkt., 10 cts.; pint, 30 cts. 
ACK WAX.—Tender, yellow, transparent pods of the most 
delicious flavor. Packet, 10 cents; pint, 25 cents; quart, 45 cents. 
SADDLE-BACK WAX.—A cross of the Yosemite and Black- 
eyed wax, made by N. B. Keeney & Son, Genesee Co., N. Y. First 
GOLDEN } offered in 1890 by a Philadelphia seedsman, who claims them to be 
J broader and thicker than other sorts. Pkt., 10 cts.; pint, 25 cts. 
GOLDEN WAX.—Ten days earlier than the Black Wax. Pods 
large, long, brittle and stringless. Say what you will, this variety 
is hard to beat. Notwithstanding the many wax sorts, it still holds 
itsown. Packet, 10 cents; pint, 25 cents; quart, 40 cents.

LARGE WHITE MARROWFEAT.—This has always been a 
popular variety in field culture, and also a most profitable market 
sort. Packet, 10 cents; pint, 20 cents; quart, 35 cents. 
PROLIFIC TREE.—This is a small, very white bean, resem- 
bling the old-fashioned Navy Bean, but cooks in less time, and is 
of better flavor. They should be planted in rows 21% feet apart, and 
20 inches apart in the rows, so as to secure a large yield; they 
should not be allowed to crowd each other. In competition 
for a $25.00 premium, M. B. Puryear, Linwood, Ark., raised a vine 
containing71l pods. Mr. Thompson, of North Andover, Mass., a 
plant containing 612 pods. From this, some idea can be had of their 
wonderful productiveness. Pkt, 10 cts.; pint, 25 cts.; quart, 40 cts. 
BURLINGAME MEDI- 
UMS.—I have advertised this 
for years as the earliest, har: 
diest and most productive 
field bean in America, and j 
have sold many hundreds of B@====4 
bushels to my customers, to : : 
their entire satisfaction. 
bushels to the acre is not an £ 
unusual yield, and they have 
frequently made even a larg- 
er return. They ripen sever- 
al days earlier than the Mar- 
row or Pea Bean, and in a 
wet season will keep dry and = 
healthy, while other varieties = 
rust and spot. The ripened § 
Seed is pearly white, andE 
much handsomer than the pes 
old sort, consequently can be fi 
frequently sold at an extra 
price. One of the largest 
firms handling Beans in (ip 
Western New York write me (IVAW esi 
that they consider Burlin- haa @alyn 
game the best of all, and it oy 
has always produced a crop ‘ 
when others have failed. 
) Packet, 10 cents; pint, 25 cents; 
quart, 40 cents.
