YELLOW-POD 
BUSH BEANS 
Plant seed when all danger of frost is past and the soil is quite warm, 
in rows 18 to 30 in. apart for hand cultivation, or 2% to 3 ft. apart 
for field culture. Space the seed 2 to 3 in. apart in the row and cover 
with 1 to 2 in. of soil. Give frequent and shallow cultivation until 
blossoms appear. A packet will plant about 25 feet of row; 1 Ib., 
100 ft.; 60 lbs. to an acre. You can make your bean crop most 
effective if you plant seed at intervals of two weeks until about 
10 weeks before the first frost. In that way you can have plants in 
full production constantly, providing a steady supply for both table 
and canning purposes. Remember, beans have the best flavor when 
served or canned soon after picking. 
And here's a tip. If you're troubled by the Mexican Bean Beetle,

27 MAULE’S IMPROVED BUTTER WAX % 
The best golden yellow round-pod Stringless Bush Bean (50 days) 
The yellow pods are medium long, round, and handsome in appear- 
ance; nearly straight, of greater uniformity in color and size and 
more attractive than any other wax bean. Maule’s Improved Butter 
Wax is considered the best round-pod wax bean for both home use 
and market. The long, round pods, which are borne profusely all 
over the large bushes, are a beautiful clear yellow, extremely brittle, 
of the finest quality, without fiber, fleshy, plump and entirely string- 
less. Seed, white with brownish black eye. Of all the wax beans 
listed in our catalog when we introduced this variety in 1908, only 
two have stood the test of time along with it. All other varieties now 
listed have been improved or introduced since that date, yet even 
today not one of them approaches it in popularity.

color. After canning all that is desired, many gardeners allow the 
last pods to mature on the bush, using the white seeds for baking.

the plants while they are wet. Pods are most delicious if used before 
they have reached full size.
