or 



This remarkable early bush bean is an Improved Jones' 

 Strlngless Wax, becoming very popular; has long golden 

 pods. The pods are round, plump and perfectly strlngless. 

 The seeds are white, and their color makes them sell quickly 

 in the ripe or dry state. Its enormous yield, line table quality 

 and freedom from string place It In the front rank, and make 

 it of peculiar value to the private grower, the market gar- 

 dener and the canner. The vine is of the bush type, with 

 strong and vigorous growth, with the load of pods carried well 

 above the soil. In addition to this, splkelets are thrown out 

 above the foliage, which in turn produce pods, thus adding 

 materially to the total yield of the plant. Imperial is very 

 early, free from rust and blight, and produces marketable 

 pods very quickly. It ripens so early that it can be harvested 

 before the late August rains. Pbt., 10 cts.; pt., 30 cts.; qt,, 

 50 cts., postpaid. By express or freight, not prepaid, 

 quart, 35 cts.; 4 quarts, SI. 10; peck, Sa.OO; busliel, ST.OO.

aoie s r rotosion 



First oflered in 1903. 30,000 packets were distributed free for trial among my 

 customers, who, without a single exception, were delighted, not only with its won- 

 ^ derful productiveness, but also with its fine flavor and handsome appearance. I 

 / i ofTered in my 1903 catalogue ?100 in cash prizes for a suitable name for Profusion 

 A Wax Bean. More than 10,000 names v^ere suggested by my customers, six of 

 '' whom selected the name Profusion Wax, which I considered the most appropriate 

 '' for the variety, and the hundred dollar prize was divided among them. The illus- 

 tration herewith is no exaggeration whatever. The vines are literally covered with 

 fine, long, handsome transparent yellow pods, which are remarkably brittle, as it 

 I, has no strings whatever. It is a wonderfully strong grower. Pods are round, of 

 very large size, and always full of meat, brittle and string- 

 less. In addition to these good qualities it is very early and 

 continues in bearing a long time. Profusion Wax will hold 

 its own at all times against strongest competition. 

 Packet. 10 cents; pint, 30 cents; qoart, 50 cents, postpaid. By express 

 or freight, not prepaid, qt., 35 cts.; 4 qts., $1.10; pk., $2.00; bnsbel, $7.00.

This comparatively new wax podded bean is jsarticularly 

 handsome and is most enthusiastically praised by all who 

 have grown it. Its beautiful yellow, straight pods are from 

 6 to 7 inches long, well rounded, meaty and deeply saddle- 

 backed. They are always solid, brittle and entirely string- 

 less and of excellent quality, and are produced through a 

 long season. The handsome yellow pods present a most 

 attractive appearance, both on the market stall and on the 

 table. The plants grow about 15 inches high. Medium 

 early, hardy and very prolific; one of the best. 



Packet, 10 cents; pint, 25 cents; quart, 40 cents, postpaid. By express 

 or freight, not prepaid, qt., 25 cts.; 4 qts., 85 cts.; pk., $1.50; bu., $5.50.
