KEKNEY'S RUSTLESS GOLDKN WAX. 



I^eeney's Rastless Golden Wax Dmarf Bean. 



Tills was offered last season for the first time, and sold only in sealed pack- 

 ets. It combines hardiness and productiveness with fine quality. A strong- 

 growing bush variety of remarkable vigor and freedom from rust. It sends out 

 short tendrlLs, on wliich pods are formed in addition to those near the central 

 stalk of the plant, which accounts for its wonderful productiveness, amounting, 

 under favorable conditions, to 100 to 150 fold. 



Tlie pods are meaty and well filled, thick-flat when young and semi-round 

 later; of rich yellow color and fine quality, and entirely stringless throughout, 

 even when old enough to shell. They are also free from that parchment-like 

 lining which makes other varieties tough, unless when very young. If the pods 

 are picked as fast as formed, the plant continues to fiu'nish a bountiful supply 

 for an unusually long season. Pkt., lOc; pint, 20c.; <it., 40e.; peck, Si2.50.

Geo. S. Champlin, Ashaway, R. I., Aug. 30. 1895, writes : " In my order for 

 seeds last spring, you sent me a package of the New Wax Beans, No. 55. I 

 planted them at the same time with three other kinds; each had the same 

 attention ; the No. 55 was five days earlier than the others, and a much superior 

 bean. Its pods were clean and not a trace of rust on them."

DAY'S LEAFLESS MEDIUM BEAN. 



A WONDERFUL NEW FIELD BEAN. 



This improved variety is offered by us for the first time 

 this year. Tlie originator, Mr. Wm. H. Day, "who is one of 

 the most successful field bean cultin'ists in New York State, 

 has been experimenting for years with diflerent kinds of 

 beans, and tliis sort represents four years' constant work. 

 The beans are a beautiful pearly white in color, and run very 

 uniform in size. The pods are long, well filled, containing 

 from five to seven beans each, each stalk containing from 

 100 to 200 pods, producing 50 to 60 bushels per acre. We 

 had one stalk planted in a field, and given ordinary cul- 

 ture, that produced 978 beans that weighed 12 ounces. 

 The vine stands up well, grows abundant foliage, and, just 

 previous to the time of ripening, all the leaves fall oflf, so 

 that each and every pod is exposed to the action of the sun's 

 rays and ripens evenly. Another great feature is that it is 

 extremely early in ripening, matniing in its entirety in from 

 seventy to eighty days from date of planting. Pkt., 5c.; 

 pint, loc.; qt., 31c.; peck, $1.40; bush., 85.00.
