IBeanS— "Dwarf Wax Sorts 



LARGE PACKETS OF ALL BEANS, 5C. EACH. 



/NeNV Valentine Wax 



THE EARLIEST W^AX VARIETY. WONDERFULLY 



PROLIFIC. POSITIVELY FREE FROM RUST. 



ABSOLUTELY STRINGLESS. 



This new variety, first offered three years ago, has rap- 

 idly become popular with market gardeners on account of 

 its extreme earliness. It is an improved Round Pod Extra 

 Early Valentine, with handsome round yellow or wax pods. 

 The type is so perfectly fixed that only one plant with green 

 pods, and that probably from a stray bean, was found in 

 the field of the originator, Mr. T. V. Maxon, the noted bean 

 grower of Jefferson County, N. Y. It is the earliest wax 

 bean yet produced; planted June 18th, pods over four 

 Inches long were picked July 25th. Pods very meaty, en- 

 tirely stringless, entirely free from rust, and of the best 

 quality. Market and family gardeners will make no 

 mistake in planting it largely. Pkt., 5c.; pint, 15c.; qt., 

 30c.; peck, $1.10; bush., $4.00. 



IDavis Kidney Wax 



AN ENORMOUSLY PRODUCTIVE RUSTLESS WAX 



PODDED BUSH BEAN, HAVING CLEAR 



WHITE KIDNEY-SHAPED SEED. 



Originated by a well-known market gardener, Eugene 

 Davis, of Michigan. Extensive trials by practical market 

 gardeners have proven this new bean the largest cropper, 

 liardiest, tlie handsomest pod, the best shipping and 

 market wax bean in cultivation, also the best bean 

 for canners, as the pods do not discolor in canning. Tlie 

 plant is vigorous and healthy, of compact, upright growth, 

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

 Tlie pods are very long, oval, clear waxy-white color, and, 

 when of suitable size to use for snnps, entirely stringless, 

 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, 15c.; qt., 30c.; 

 peck, $1.10; bush., $4.00. 



Fuller's "Ringleader Wax 



Our good opinion of this new Black Wax bean has been 

 confirmed by another year's trial among our customers, from 

 whom we have received hundreds of most favorable com- 

 ments. All agree in pronouncing it one of the earlie.'-t, 

 best and most productive of all Wax Beans, being greatly 

 superior to the old German Black and Golden Wax sorts. 

 Pint, 20c.; qt., 35c.; peck, $1.75; bush., $6.50. 



Improved "Refugee Wax 



NEW STRINGLESS STRAIN. This new variety 

 is one of the earliest beans grown. It is a perfect Refugee, 

 with wax pods that are long, round and of golden yellow 

 color. It is suitable for early or late sowing, and Avhen sown 

 in the spring it will give seed in time for a second crop in 

 the fall. It is an immense yielder. We offer an improved 

 strain of this variety, which is entirely stringless and much 

 superior to the Refugee Wax as introduce I a few years 

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

 the best and only perfect Wax Bean for canners' use. 

 Pkt.. 5c.; pint, 20c.; qt., 35e.; peck, $1.40; bush., $5.00. 



KEENEY'S RUSTLESS GOLDEN WAX. A strong 

 growing new bush variety of remarkable vigor and freedom 

 from rust. The pods are meaty and well filled ; thick-flat 

 when young and semi-round later; of rich yellow color and 

 fine quality, and entirely stringless throughout, even when 

 old enough to shell. They are also free from that parchment- 

 like lining which makes other varieties tough, unless when 

 very young. If the pods are picked as fast as formed, the 

 plant continues to furnish a bountiful supply for an unusually 

 long season. Pkt., 5c.; pint, 15c.; qt., 30c.; peck, $1.10; 

 bush., $4.00. 



NEW GOLDEN-EY'ED BUTTER WAX. This fine 

 market variety is earlier than the popular Wardwell's Kid- 

 ney Wax and Golden Wax sorts. The vine grows vigorously 

 about one and a half feet high, holding the great profusion 

 of handsome pods well off the ground. The pods are long, 

 straight and flat, and remarkably free from blight and rust. 

 The fact that when picked along with other wa.x varieties it 

 keeps bright and crisp long after the others are wilted, makes 

 it one of the best for shipping long distances. It is also one 

 of the very best green shelled beans, and excellent dry, being 

 very much like the White Marrow when baked. Pint, 15c.; 

 qt., 25c.; peck, $1.00; bush., $3..50. 



NETV PROLIFIC GERMAN or CYLINDER 

 BLACK WAX. This is an entirely new and improved strain 

 of the old favorite German or Black Wax Bean originated by 

 a large bean grower of Genesee County, N. Y. Very superior 

 to the old strain, being much earlier and more productive. 

 Pods perfectly round, straighter, longer and of nn even, rich 

 golden color. Our stock is grown for us bv the originator. 

 Pint, 15c. ; qt., 25c.; peck, $1.00 ; bush., $3.50.
