NEW BEAN 



DAVIS KIDNEY WAX 



An Enormously Productive Rustless Wax 



Podded Bush Bean, Having Clear 



White Kidney-Shaped Seed. 



Originated by a well-known market gardener, 

 Eugene Davis, of Michigan. Extensive trials the 

 past three seasons have proven this New Bean the 

 largest cropper, the handsomest pod, the best 

 shipping and market Bean in cultivation. 

 The plant is vigorous and healthy, of compact, 

 upright growth, carrying its pods on the centre 

 and well up from the ground. The pods are very 

 long, oval, clear waxy-white color, and, when of 

 suitable size to use for snaps, entirely stringless, 

 showing no tendency to string until they approach 

 maturity. Practical market gardeners and 

 canners are delighted •with it, because of its 

 hardiness, productiveness and handsome appear- 

 ance. The large, white, handsome, kidney-shaped 

 dry beans are very attractive and excellent for 

 baking. Perpkt., loc; pint, 25c.; qt., 50c., post-

 Improved Egyptian Beet 



A very superior strain of the well-known Egyptian, 

 carefully selected for years by Mr. Josiah Crosby, a noted 

 Eastern market gardener. The results obtained were 

 handsome form, good size, few small tops, fine quality, 

 deep blood color, and, above all, quick, rapid growth. 

 Takes on its turnip shape, as shown in photograph, 

 and looks well even in the early stages of growth. 

 Once used, it is preferred to Egyptian or Eclipse for 

 forcing in frames or for first sowing outside. It does 

 not become woody and tasteless, like the old Egyp- 

 tian, when allowed to stand a little too long, and may 

 be sown outside as late as July. No market or pri- 

 vate grower who values earliness should fail to grow the 

 Crosby's Egyptian. Pkt., 5c.; oz., loc; % lb., 30c.;
