Pencil-Pod

eans Pod Sush 
Maule’s Improved Butter Wax is considered the best round-pod wax bean 
available today. It was introduced by Wm. Henry Maule in 1908 and has never 
been seriously challenged by any other variety in the yellow pod class. 
The plants are bushy and very prolific. The pods are everything a wax bean 
should be. They are round, straight to slightly curved, and 6% in. long. The 
color is a most attractive, clear yellow. Their brittleness when snapped proves 
their complete freedom from fiber or strings, and their thick-fleshed walls add to 
the pleasure of eating. 
Uniformity of size and shape makes Butter Wax well adapted to canning. It 
preserves its brittle freshness through the canning procedure, and holds its rich 
color very well when properly stored. The seeds are white with only small 
brownish black markings at the eye, making the strain desirable for dry shelled 
beans in addition to improving the appearance of the canned product. {

35 Improved Rustproof 
Golden Wax 
(48 days) An improved extra early maturing 
strain of Golden Wax known as Top Notch 
and valued because of its freedom from rust 
and other diseases. The rich, golden yellow 
pods are very attractive, 5 to 5% in. long, 
nearly straight, flat, broad, brittle, stringless, 
of excellent quality, and borne in the greatest 
profusion. Plants grow compactly and more 
erect than the old Golden Wax, bearing the 
pods well off the ground. The rust-resistant 
quality of this variety makes it one of the 
safest strains to plant. The seeds are white, 
mottled with various shades of tan and brown 
about the eye.

Black Wax % 
(54 days) The beautiful, uniform, rich 
yellow pods grow 51% to 6 in. long, round 
in cross-section, meaty, and deeply sad- 
dle-backed. They are always solid, brit- 
tle, without fiber and entirely stringless. 
Plants are vigorous and heavily productive 
over a long period. Home gardeners and 
market growers are nearly all familiar with 
this popular bean. Gracefully curving 
pods, unusually fine flavor, and time- 
tested dependability make Pencil-Pod 
Black Wax a variety that possesses the 
three most important bean character- 
istics—good appearance, good quality, 
and good yield. The seed is jet-black when 
tripe, and our stock is certified free of seed 
borne blight, a real protection for you.
