THE MAULE SEED BOOK FOR 1907 



BUSH BEANS.-WAX or yellow pod. 



Davis Kidney Wax. 



A wax podded varietj-, almost \\ holly rust 

 proof, with kidney shaped white seeds. The 

 high claims which 1 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. 



earing. 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 

 Bot excelled for canning purposes by anything 

 within my knowledge. Pkt., 10 cts.; pt., 25 cts.; 

 qt., 40 cts., postpaid. Peck, $1.75; bushel, $6.50. 



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 round 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- 

 Xion, which is engraved from 

 aature. Packet, 10 cents; pint, 

 25 cents; quart, 40 cents, post- 

 , paid. Peck, $1.75; bushel, S6.50.

WAX 



Prolific Black Wax, 



An Improved strain of the old Black Wax; a 

 stronger grower, with longer, stralghter and 

 rounder pods, and twice as prolific. My custo- 

 mers say they want no better bean. Its hand, 

 some, yellow, fleshy, strlngless pods commend It 

 for both home and market purposes. Packet. 

 10 cents; pint, 25 cents; |quart, 40 cents, postpaid.

PROLIFIC BLACK WAX. 



Maule's Butter Wax. 



The result of an accidental cross between Golden 

 Wax and Dwarf Black Wax, and held in high 

 esteem everywhere. There is no more reliable 

 spot-proof wax bean on the market. The sti'ain 

 is a distinct one, and I have been sounding its well 

 deserved praises for nearly a decade. The long 

 curved pods are of a beautiful, clear, golden yel- 

 low color. They are round, full and plump, and 

 entirely strlngless, even when nearly ripe. The 

 earliest of the yellow pod sorts, and very 

 productive. Crop again very short, so I can 

 ofl^er it by the packet only. Packet, 15 cents. 



PKNCIL POD.— (See green pages.)

Strlngless 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 ti> 

 7 inches. They are thick and fleshy. 

 and as handsome in the basket as 

 could be desired. The podls perfectly 

 stringless. thus giving name to the 

 variety. The beans are of prime table 

 quality, either green or dry. Packet, 

 10 cents; pint, 25 cents; quart, 40 cents, 

 postpaid. Peck, $1.75; bushel, 86.50. 



IFs 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. It is 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 

 a more reasonable price than for a number of years. 

 Packet, 10 cents; pint, 25 cents; quart, 40 cents, postpaid. 

 Peck, $1.75; bushel, S6.25. 



Jobn Van Loon, LaCrosse, Wis.— Among the seed we purchased 

 from you last year was the New Davis Perfect Cucumber, Golden 

 Rod Carrot and Nameless Wax Beans. Every one of those noveL 

 ties are grand additions to our vegetables. The cucumbers are the 

 finest we have ever raised, nothing is seen around here to compare 

 with it; and so it is with the Nameless Wax Bean, it grows simply 

 to perfection, and if the seed Is to be had ue intend to plant largely 

 ot It next \ ear as it will m all probability prove a monej maker
