Keeney's trustless Golden Wax Dwarf Bean. 



This new bean, now first offered, combines hardiness and pro- 

 ductiveness with fine quality; it is a vigorous bush variety, with 

 entire freedom from rust. It puts forth short tendrils on which 

 pods are formed in addition to those near the central stalk of the 

 plant, which accounts for its great productiveness, amounting, 

 under favorable conditions, to loo to 150 fold. The pods, although 

 flat when young, are meaty and well-filled, and £emi -round later; 

 of rich yellow color, fine quality, and entirely stringless, even 

 when large enough to shell. If the pods are picked as fast as de- 

 veloped, the plant continues to furnish a bountiful supply for an 

 unusually long season. 



Each packet contains an ounce of beans, sixty to seventy-five in 

 number, and if planted singh', ten inches apart in the row, and 

 with the rows twenty -four to twenty-eight inches apart, two packets 

 will produce, under favorable conditions, a sufficient supply for a 

 family of six or eight persons. Price, per pkt., 15c. ; 2 pkts. , 25c. ;

NEW MASTIFF GOLDEN POD POLE BEAN. 

 PHOTOGRAPHED AT FL0R.4.CROPr TRIAL GROUNDS. 



In size and appearance of pod it bears the same relation to other pole varieties as the Yosemite Mammoth 

 Wax does to the Dwarf sorts. The photograph herewith gives a fair idea of its wonderful productive- 

 ness and enormous pods, which are remarkably handsome and fleshy, and of rich buttery flavor when 

 cooked. The beans, when dry, are of a light yellow, almost the color of the pod itself when fit for use as 

 a string bean. We believe it certain cO become the leading Wax Pole Bean, and every garden should con- 

 tain it. Pkt., loc; pt.,35c.; qt. , 60c. , post-paid. Qt., 45c.; 4qts.,|i.5o; peck, |2. 75, by express or freight.
