PLANT or NEW KOUND POD KIDNEY WAX. 



NEM ROUND POD KIDNEY MKX BERN 



We were so much pleased with this and the Pencil Pod Black Wax 



Bean, described below, that we have secured from the originators, Messrs. 

 N. B. Keeney & Sons, of New York State, who are well-known bean experts, 

 from the fact that many of the leading and most popular beans of the day 

 were originated by them, their entire crop of seed of these two varieties, 

 believing them to be by far the most valuable of all recent introductions in 

 beans. Our customers have frequently asked for a round podded Wax 

 Bean, possessing the excellent market and shipping qualities of the popular 

 Wardwell's Kidney Wax, and this is the first bean we have ever discovered 

 that will fill the bill. The plant grows tall, strong and sturdy, with long, 

 round, handsome, stringless pods of large size, very solid and full of meat, 

 crisp and brittle. It is wonderfully early and productive, and is destinecl 

 to become very popular when known. Pkt., I5c.; pint, 45c.; qt., 80c,. by 

 mail, postage paid. By freight or express, qt., 65c.; 2 qts., $1.25 ; peck, $3.7o. 



KEENEY'S P6NCIL POD BLHCK MKX B6HN 



Mr. Keeney gives us a history and description of this valuable new | 

 bean as follows : 



" Keeney 's Pencil Pod Black Wax grows a taller, stronger and more keeney's pencil pod black wax 

 vigorous bush than the Improved Prolific Black Wax, which is one of its 



parents. The other parent is the Round Pod Refugee or Thousand to One, and from this latter source 

 the Pencil Pod Black Wax gets much of its vigor, hardiness and productiveness, and its long, slender, 

 straight, handsome pod, sha[)ed very much like a pencil. It inherits fine quality from both parents, and 

 is, without doubt, one of the finest strains of wax beans known. It is very early, enormously produc- 

 tive and destined to become the most popular of all Black Wax Beans." 



The supply of seed grown for us by the originator is so small this season that we cannot supply 

 more than four quatts to any one customer. Prices : Pkt., 15c.; pint, 50c.; qt., 90c., postpaid ; qt., 75c.; 

 2 qts., $1.40; 4 qts., $2.-5u, by express or freight.
