01 good flavor. Ihey are produced medium early and abundantly. Market 

 gardeners m the neighborhood of New Orleans have long considered them 

 the best of all. Although only known in the North to a limited extent, all 

 planting them agree they well deserve the name. A good green podded 

 bean lor either market or family use. Packet, 10 cts.; pt., 25 cts.; qt., 45 cts 



MEW PROLIFIC GERMAN WAX.— An improvementGOLDEN 

 on the old German Wax, being a stronger grower, with longer 

 straighter and rounder pods, and at the same time is more than 

 twice as prolittc. All who planted Proliflc Wax last season are 

 loud in their praises, and want no better bean. Its very hand- 

 some, golden yellow fleshy pods, entirely free from strings, 

 recommend it to the market as well as the home gardener 

 Packet, 10 cents; pint, 25 cents; quart, 45 cent«. 



IMPROVED RUST PROOF GOLDEN W^AX.— As we all 

 know, the Golden Wax has long been a popular and desirable 

 variety, its greatest fault being its liabilitv to rust, especially m 

 wet weather. This new strain of Golden Wax is really all its 

 name implies. Pods are thicker than Golden Wax, and if anj 

 thing 01 better quality, and above all, absolutely rust prool 

 Packet, 10 cents; pint, 25 cents; quart, 45 cents. 



TOSEMITE WAX.-No other Dwarf Bush Bean can an-y- 

 where near approach Yosemite in size, pods being often 8 to 9 

 inches long, and as thick as a man's finger. Pods are nearlv all 

 solid meat, and are absolutely stringless, always cooking tendei 

 and luscious. Packet, 10 cents; pint, 30 cents; quart, 50 cents 



BLACK. WAX — Tender, yellow, transparent pods of the 

 most delicious flavor. Packet, 10 cts.; pint, 25 cts.; quart, 45 cts 



SADDLE-BACK WAX — A cross of the Yosemite and 

 Black-Eyed Wax. Claimed to be broader and thicker than 

 other sorts. Packet, 10 cents; pint, 25 cents; quart, 45 cents. 



KEEIVEY'S RUSTLESS GOLDEN WAX N. B. Keene-V 



& Sons, one of the largest and most experienced bean groweis 

 m the country, say regarding this Bean: "A strong growing 

 bush variety of remarkable vigor and freedom from rust. It 

 sends out short tendrils, on which pods are formed, in addition 

 to those near the central stalk, which accounts for its wonder il 

 ful productiveness. The pods are meatv and well filled, thick 

 flat when young and semi-round later, of rich vellow color an 1 

 fine quality, and entirely stringless. If the pods are kept 

 picked as fast as formed, will furnish a bountiful supply for ai 

 unusually long season." Pkt., 10 cts.; pt., 30 cts.; qt., 50 cts. 



GOLDEN AVAX — Ten days earlier than the Black Wax 

 Pods large, long, brittle and stringless. Sav what you will, this 

 variety is hard to beat. Notwithstanding the many wax sorts 

 It still holds its own. Packet, 10 cts.; pint, 25 cts.; quart, 40 cts 



■Vl^HlTE KIDNEY — Popular, either green or ripe, and is 



one of the very best for Winter use. Pkt,, lOc; pt., 25c.; qt, 40c. 



LARGE WHITE MARROWFAT.— This has alwavs been 



a popular variety in field culture, and also a most prbfltable 



market sort. Packet, 10 cents; pint, 20 cents; quart, 35 cents. 



BURLINGAME MEDIUMS.— The earliest, hardiest and 

 most pi oducti\e field bean in America. 40 bushels to the acre 

 is not an unusual yield, and they have fre- 

 quently made even a larger return. They ri- 

 pen several days earlier than the Marrow or 

 Pea bean, and in a wet season 

 will keep dry and healthy, 

 while other varieties rust and 

 spot. The ripened seed is 

 pearly white, and much hand- 

 somer than the old sort, conse- 

 quently brings an extra price. 

 It has always produced a crop 

 when other field sorts have 

 failed. Packet, 10 cents; pint, 

 25 cents; quart, 40 cents. 



PROLIFIC TREE,— This 

 is a small, very white bean, re- 

 sembling the old-fashioned 

 Navy bean. They should be 

 planted in rows 2>^ feet apart, 

 and 20 inches apart in the 

 rows, so as to secure a large 

 yield; they should not be al- 

 lowed to crowd each other. In 

 competition for a S25.00 pre- 

 mium, M. B. Puryear, Lin- 

 wood, Ark., raised a vine con- 

 taining 711 pods. From this, 

 some idea can be had of their 

 wonderful productiveness.Pkt., 

 10 cts.; pt., 25 cts.; qt., 40 cts.
