NEW VALENTINE WAX BEAN 



This new variety, first ofl'ered four years ago, has rap- 

 idly become popular with market gardeners on account of 

 its extreme earliness and great productiveness. It is an im- 

 proved Bound Pod Extra Early Valentine, with handsome 

 round yellow or wax pods. It is the earliest wax bean yet 

 produced. Planted June 18th, pods over four inches long 

 were picked .Inly 25th. Pods very meaty, entirely string- 

 less, entirely free from rust, and of the best quality. Market 

 and familv gardeners will make no mistake in planting it 

 largely. Pint, 20c.; qt., 40c.; peek, 81.25; bush., $4.50. 



IMPROVED RUST=PROOF GOLDEN WAX. 



(Grennell's Strain.) 

 This variety is rapidly superseding the well-known 

 Golden Wax, which has for many years been a great favor- 

 ite with both market gardeners and private planters. It 

 originated with Mr. W. H. Grennell, a large bean grower of 

 New York State, and from whom we originally obtained our 

 seed. It is among the earliest and hardiest of all the Wax 

 Beans. The pods are straight, long, larger and thicker than 

 the Golden Wax, much superior in quality. It outyielded 

 the Golden Wax two to one in past seasons. There are two 

 strains of "Improved Golden Wax" on the market, but 

 Grennell's strain, as offered bv us, will be found decidedly 

 the best. Pint, 20c.; qt., 40c.; peck, 81.10; bush., $4.00. 



KEENY'S NEW STRINGLESS REFUGEE WAX 



This new variety originated with N. B. Keeny & Son, 

 the well-known bean experts of New York State. It is a 

 perfect Refugee, with wax pods that are long, round and of 

 golden yellow color, remaining tender longer than other 

 wax sorts; immensely productive and practically everbear- 

 ing. It is free from rust, and its dense habit of growth ren- 

 ders it proof against long-continued drought. It is suitable 

 for early or late sowing. When sown in the spring it will 

 give seed in time for a second crop in the fall. Keeny's 

 new strain of this variety is entirely stringless and much 

 superior to the Refugee" Wax as introduced a few years 

 since. They are not only one of the best for general use. but 

 the best and only perfect W^ax Bean for canners' use. 

 Pint, 25c.; qt., 45c.; peck, 81.35; bush., $5.00. 



DAVIS WHITE KIDNEY WAX 



Originated by Eugene Davis, of Michigan. The plant is 

 vigorous and liealthy, of compact, upright growth, carrying 

 its pods on the centre and well up from the ground. The 

 pods are very long, oval, clear waxy-white color, showing 

 no tendency to string until they approach maturity. The 

 large, white, handsome kidney-shaped dry beans are very 

 attractive and excellent for baking. Pint, 20c.; qt., 40c.; 

 peck, $1.25; bush., 84.50.
