Davis Kidney Wax 



A wax podded Tarlety, with kidney shapeil 

 white seeds. The dry bean is a good shell bean 

 for winter. The high claims which we made 

 for it in 1895, when introducing it to the public, 

 have been abundantly verified. It is handsome, 

 prolific and profitable. It is of strong growth, 

 and holds its long, straight pods well above 

 the ground. The pods are of a clear, waxy 

 yellow color; are more conspicuous than the 

 foliage itself when the bush is in full bearing. 

 Pods oval-shaped and entirely rust proof, or 

 as nearly so as any bean may be. It is of high 

 table quality, and is adapted to home use or 

 market and is not excelled for canning; having 

 while seeds, are very attractive in jars.

 duces pods wliich average 6 inches long, are flat, thick and meai.

 crisp, tender, stringless pods. It is of excellent quality and 

 delicious flavor. The handsome yellow pods are 5 to 6 inches 

 long, oval shape, as nearly rust proof as any good wax podded

An exceptionally valuable wax bean. Briefly described as a Wht 

 Seeded Golden Was. Vines robust and vigorous; the handsoni 

 broad pods are produced in great abundance and are very uniform i 

 size and color, which is a very attractive light golden yellow; meat 

 and of superior quality. Seed clear white; this feature alone mak( 

 this variety a very decided advantage over all other wax podded bean 

 in that as snaps they cook without discoloring, and thus are moi 

 attractive on the table; while as dry beans they are very handson 

 and superior to any staple white bean. Valuable for both home ( 

 market gardeners and canners.
