NEW IMPROVED ROUND POD EXTRA EARLY RED VALENTINE BEAN. 
This is unquestionably the very best and earliest green snap-short bean for the market gardener. 
It is at least ten days earlier than the Early Red Valentine, and is usually ready to pick thirty-five to 
forty days from the time of planting. The habit of the vine is dwarf, the pods are smooth, round, 
stringless and very thickly set, remaining green and tender a long time after they are fitto pull. The 
strain we offer will be found unusually prolific, and to hold the pods well up from the ground. Vines 
very uniform, making little or no top growth, setting its fruit all low on the bush, ripening very uniformly, 
and producing enormously. Pkt., 1oc.; pint, 30c.; gt., 50c., post-paid. By freight or express, qt., 35c.; 
peck, $1.50; bush., $5.50. 
IMPROVED RUST-PROOF GOLDEN WAX BEAN. 
From our trials of this splendid new variety, which is accurately shown in the above illustration, 
we believe that it must, when fully known, entirely take the place of the well-known Golden Wax, which 
has for many years been a great favorite with both market gardeners and private planters. It originated 
with Mr. Fred. Williams, one of the largest bean growers of New York State and from whom we have 
obtained our seed. Descriptive of this new bean, we can hardly do better than quote the following, from 
a letter written us by Mr. Williams, the originator. 
“The Improved Rust-Proof Golden Wax is the handsomest and hardiest of all the Wax Beans. 
The pods are straight, long, and thicker than the Golden Wax, much superior in quality and absolutely 
rust-proof. It outyielded the Golden Wax two to one the past two seasons, and I think it will become 
the most popular of all Wax Beans.” 
_ Every claim made in the above was fully substantiated the past season, not only in our own trials, 
but in those made by several of our best market gardeners, who have given it atrial. We hope no 
progressive gardener will omit planting it this season. Pkt., Ioc.; pint, 30c.; qt., 50c., post-paid by 
mail, By express or freight, qt., 35c.; peck, $2.00; bush., $7.50. 
YOSEMITE MAMMOTH WAX BUSH BEAN. 
_ This splendid new bean has been so named on account of its encrmous size. The pods frequently 
attain a length of ten inches, with the thickness of a man’s finger. The pods are nearly all solid pulp, 
the seeds being very small, when the pods are fit for use. Pods area rich golden color and absolutely 
stringless, cooking tender and delicious. It is enormously productive, as many as fifty of its monster 
pods having been counted on one bush. Pkt., 10c.; % pint, 30c.; pint, 50c.; qt., $1.00, post-paid.
