Dwarf or Bush Beans-Wax or Yellow Pods 



27 Maule's Improved Butter Wax 



Stringless, Round, Yellow Pods 



This bean was first offered by us as "Nameless ^Vax" in 1906, later 

 known as Maule's Wingold Was, and during that time had become one 

 of the most popular wax beans on the market. For either the home 

 garden or market it Is an ideal sort. The U. S. Department of Agricul- 

 ture in Bulletin 109, endorses this bean highly and part ot their descrip- 

 tion follows : 



"Evidently one of the best of the newer sorts and possibly the hand- 

 somest and best general purpose was bean. In Department trials 

 its pods were straighter. more uniform In color and size, more attrac- 

 tive than any other wax sort and fully as productive. Snap pods very 

 uniform in size, long to medium, very straight, round, medium yellow, 

 estremely brittle, absolutely stringless, without fibre and of escelleut 

 quality. Early and hardy as German Black Wax or Round Pod Kid- 

 ney Wax, with yellow shell pods borne equally above and below foli- 

 age, never colored or splashed." 



In addition to the above this bean is the earliest of all the wax sorts, 

 and is rust-proof and tree from disease attacks, and all in all is unsur- 

 passed by any bean of its type on the market. 



Owing to the scarcity of seed this year, we cannot offer this variety in 

 larger quantity than by the packet. Pactet, 15 cents, postpaid.

Improved Rust Proof 

 Golden Wax 



This is a decided improvement on the old Golden Was. In fact, we 

 no longer catalogue Golden Wax, on account of its great liability 



to rust or spot; but this strain is almost wholly free from such defects. maule'S improve 



Improved Rust Proof Golden Wax has far more vigor than its parent, and hence Its name. The 

 pods are of medium length, 4 to 5 inches, nearly straight, broad, flat and of golden yellow color, 

 8.ud are borne in great profusion, and we commend it to the public as a superior was bush bean.

 ing quickly as snaps, shelling well when green, and of the highest quality in either way.

Michigan White Wax 



An exceptionally valuable new beau. Briefly described as a White Seeded Golden Wax. Vines 

 robust and vigorous; the handsome broad pods are produced In great abundance and are very uni- _ 

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

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

 makes this variety a very decided advantage over all other wax 

 podded beans, in that as snaps they cook without discoloring, and 

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

 handsome and superior to any staple white bean. Valuable for both 

 home or market gardeners and canners.

resembling Davis Kidney Wax. The pods are brittle and tender, and MICHIGAN WHITE WAX BEAN, 



of fine texture; if picked when young are entirely stringless. Its good qualities and remarkable productive- 

 ness make it one of the best late or main crop wax beans for the garden.

/ ^m sending you a small order for my garden seeds again. I did not send you my order last year. I hunted cheap 

 seeds. I found them, but don't want any more. Maule's seeds are cheap enough and good enough for me; in fact, I 

 know of no place where I can get so many good seeds for so little money. Mrs. Alice Holder, Glass, Texas.
