Yellow-Pod Bush Beans—continued 
37 PENCIL-POD BLACK WAX % 
Round, bright yellow, perfectly stringless (54 days) 
































The beautiful, uniform, rich yellow pods grow 6 to 7 in. long, round as a 
pencil, meaty, and deeply saddle-backed. They are always solid, brittle, 
without fiber and entirely stringless. Plants are vigorous and heavily pro- 
ductive over a long period. Home gardeners and market growers are nearly 
all familiar with this popular bean. Gracefully curving pods, unusually fine 
flavor, and time-tested dependability make Pencil-Pod Black Wax a variety 
that possesses the three most important bean characteristics—good appear- 
ance, good quality, and good yield. The seed is jet-black when ripe.

35 Improved Rustproof Golden Wax 
The long-podded “‘Top-Notch”’ strain. Stringless (48 days)

its freedom from rust and other diseases. The rich, golden yellow pods are 
very attractive, 4 to 5 in. long, nearly straight, flat, broad, brittle, stringless, 
of excellent quality and borne in the greatest profusion. Plants grow com- 
pactly and more erect than the old Golden Wax, bearing the pods well off 
the ground. The rust-resistant quality of this variety makes it especially 
desirable for early and late sowings either by home or market gardeners. The 
white seeds are mottled with fawn and magenta.

Mexoéen 
Kills and Repels Mexican Bean Beetles 


od Black Wax 














Aduli— 
twice actual size 
Some sections of the country are bothered with the Mexican Bean 
Beetle, which eats away the fleshy part of the foliage, thereby ruining 
the crop. Mexogen is a splendid preparation, scientifically com- 
pounded to kill and repel the Mexican Bean Beetle, including the 
adult, larvae, and eggs. It is non-poisonous to humans, animals, and 
birds, but it is deadly in its effect on many other insect pests in 
addition to the bean beetle. Try it on the Japanese Beetles—it’s 
powerfully effective. The half-pint size contains enough concentrate 
to handle an average season’s spraying for plants grown from ¥% lb. 
to 1 lb. of beans. Complete directions on each container.

EDIBLE SOY BEANS 
New to this hemisphere, edible soy beans have been grown for centuries 
in the Orient. They are extremely rich in protein, fat, calcium, and iron 
values and relatively low in starch. Easily grown like bush beans, but 
infinitely more hardy and untroubled by the Mexican bean beetle.

astonishing importance in the vegetable world. Ask for free leaflet with
