 ^ Vines are of medium size, with long, flat pods of a delic ite 

 g waxy yellow, very brittle and entirely stringless. I recom 

 mend this bean highly. Pkt., 10 cts 

 pt, 25 cts.; qt., 45 cts., postpaid. Peck

IMPROVED RUST PROOF 



GOLDEN AVAX An improvement 



upon the old and once popular 

 Golden Wax, which I have ceased to 

 catalogue, on account of its liabilitv 

 to rust or spot. This newer rust 

 proof strain has greater vigor in 

 every way than Its parent. The pods 

 are round and succulent, are borne 

 in profusion, and I commend it as a 

 worthy successor to the original 

 stock. Pkt., 10 cts.; pt., 2.5 cts.; qt., 45 

 cts., postpaid. Pk., Sl.oO; bu., $5.00. 



NEW PROLIFIC BLACK WAX. 

 — An improved strain of the old 

 Black Wa.\, being a stronger grower, 

 with longer, straighter and rounder 

 pods, and twice as prolific My cus- 

 tomers say they want no better bean. 

 Its handsome, yellow, fleshy, string- 

 less pods commend it 

 to the market as well as 

 to the familv garden. 

 Pkt., 10 CIS.; pt., 25 els.; 

 qt., 45 cts., postpaid. 

 Pk., S1.50; bu., 85.00. 



YOSEMITE WAX. 

 —No other dwarf bush 

 bean can approach Yo- 

 semite in size of pod, 

 the pods being often S 

 or 9 inches long, and as 

 thick as a man's finger. 

 Pods are nearly solid, 

 and are stringless, al- 

 ways cooking tender, 

 and of good flavor.

ROGER'S LIMA WAX (See specialties.) 



JONES STRINGLESS IVAX — (See specialties.) 

 MACLE'S Bl'TTER \V.\X.— For more than half 

 zen years I have been sounding the praisea 

 lis excellent, spot proof bean, the result of an 

 accidental cross between 

 Golden Wax and Dwarf 

 Black Wax. The strain is 

 a distinct one, of very his;h 

 merit. The dry beans are 

 white, with an irregular, 

 brown eye. The long pods 

 are of a beautiful, clear, 

 golden yellow color, round 

 in shape, and very full and 

 plumj). They are entirely 

 stringless, even when 

 nearly ripe, and make the 

 best possible snap beans. 



In summing up the points 



£, of exellenoe of Maule's Butter Wax bean, I must refer to the fact that it is the earliest of the yel- 

 * low pod sorts, that its quality is high, that it is round and solid, without any hollow pods, and 

 £ that It Is very productive. Pkt., 10 cts.; pt., 30 cts.; qt., 50 cts., postpaid. Pk., 51.75.

NEW DAVIS KIDNEY WAX. 



NEW D.AVIS KIDNEY WAX In Intro- 



ducing this remarkable bean to the Ameri- 

 can public, four years ago, I made almost ex- 

 travagant claims for it; but these claims bare 

 been fully sustained by its high record every- 

 where. It Is all in all, the greatest of the wmx 

 podded bush beans. It is of strong growth, 

 and is wontierfuUy proliflc, holding its long, 

 straight pods well above the ground. The pods 

 are of a handsome, clear, waxy white color, 

 and are more conspicuous than the foliage It- 

 self when the bush is in full bearing. They 

 frequently exceed in length those shown in the 

 above engraving. The seed is of true kidney 

 shape, pure white, and with absolutely no dark 

 eye whatever. The pods are ready for market 

 when quite young, and are then of the higbeet 

 and best flavor and succulence. When neg- 

 lected and allowed to become too old they 

 become stringy. They are plump and lull, and 

 entirely rust proof. The pods may be eaten, or 

 the beans may be ripened and shelled. This is 

 the best bean for market gardeners and can- 

 ners in the world, and I can as strongly en- 

 1 dorse it for the family garden. It Is full worthy 

 of the thou.sands of dollars which the orlgln.ii 

 stock cost me. Pkt., 10 cts.; pt., 25 cts,; qi.. 

 45 cts., postpaid. Pk., $1.75; bu.. Sd.00.
