WARDWELL'S NEW EARLY DWARF 

 KIDNEY WAX BEAN. 



This neTP variety, Introduced by us last year, has more 

 than exceeded our most sanguine expectations and has given 

 unbounded satisfaction wherever tried. Leading market 

 gardeners everywhere, who had it last season, are all unani- 

 mous in saying it is the earliest, hardiest, most produc- 

 tive and salable yellow wax Ijean they ever grew. 



The most valuable point, however, in its favor, is that it 

 lias not yet shown tlie slightest indication of rust or 

 spot, no matter where or under ■what condition grown. It is 

 greatly superior to the well-known Dwarf German Black 

 Wax or Golden Wax sorts in every respect, being nearly a 

 week earlier and yielding a third greater. The vines are 

 Temarkably vigorous, hardy and productive; the pods are 

 very large, smooth and showy and will sell when all other 

 varieties will be refused; they are tender, perfectly stringiess 

 and of unusually tine quality. The entire pod assumes a rich 

 golden color at a very early stage of growth — a very import- 

 ant feature which no other sort does. The dry beans are 

 white, with two shades of reddish purple more or less visible, 

 and a distinct kidney shape. Prepared for the table it has a 

 fine buttery flavor, and is destined to become the leading snap 

 T)ean, as well as a strongly endorsed winter shelled sort. Our 

 entire stock was grown especially for us by Mr. Chas. Ward- 

 n'ell, tile originator, one of the largest bean gi-owers in the 

 United States. Pkt., 1.5c. ; pint, 40c.; qt., t»c., by mail, post- 

 paid. Bv express or freight, pint, 32c. ; qt.,50c. ; 4qts,,S1.40; 

 peck, $2.25; bush., $8.00. 



NETV DETROIT "WAX BEAN. This is an early 

 -variety, the vine being very vigorous and upright in growth, 

 very productive. The jiods are fit for use about the same 

 time as the Golden Wax, but resemble those of the White 

 Wax in shape, although much larger and deeper yellow 

 color. They have the remarkable quality of standing a long 

 time after picking without rusting or other deterioration. 

 They are very fleshy, and when cooked are verj' tender and 

 of good flavor. Pkt., 1.5c.; pint, 40c.; qt,, 65e., ix>st-paid; 

 •qt., 50c.; 4 qts.. 81.40; peck, $2.40, by freight or express. 



EARLIEST EVER GROWN. 



E. M. Cooper, Dover, Del., Oct. 2, 1888, writes: "The 

 Wardwell Kidney Wax Bean is the earliest of any we have 

 ever grown, prolific, tender and of excellent quality, none 

 better." 



WILL TAKE THE LEAD. 



Geo. a. Steams, Quincy, Mass., writes : " The Wardwell 

 Wax Beans will become the leading bean for market and 

 home use. They are a speedy grower and bear early ; a rich 

 snap-short, also a fine shell bean, I was more than pleased 

 with them." 



BEST HE EVER GREW. 



Joshua Cole, East Brookfield, Mass., writes: "The 

 Wardwell Kidney Wax Beans are the best I ever grew, 

 either for string or shell beans, and are very productive." 



BEST IN YIELD AND QUALITY. 



Levi Hooke, Goshen, Ind., writes: " Wardwell's Kid- 

 ney Wax Beans are the best in yield, quality and great eaili- 

 ness." 



WILL PLANT NO OTHER KIND. 



S. J. Frantz, Egypt, Pa., Sept. 29, 1888, writes: " Your 

 Wardwell's New Kidney Wax Beans are the earliest and best 

 I ever grew since I have been in the gardening businees. 

 I will plant no other kind in future."
