CURRIE'S RUST PROOF WAX BEAN. 



30 Currie's Rust Proof Wax 



A very early beautiful was bean, bearing an abundance of 

 crisp, tender, stringless pods. It is of excellent quality and 

 delicious flavor. The handsome yellow pods are 5 to 6 inches 

 long, oval shape, as nearly rust proof as any good wax podded 

 bean can be. Vine very vigorous, and productive, and is 

 the hardiest of the Wax sorts. This is a standard market gar- 

 dening sort, does equally as well for the home garden. Packet, 

 10 cents; pint, 25 cents; qnarl, 40 cents; postpaid. By express or freight 

 not prepaid, quart, 25 cents; 4 quarts, S5 cents; peck, $1.30; bnshel, $5.00. 



24 Silver or Crystal White Wax 



The pods are of a superb silvery color, and are borne in 

 great profusion. They are sweet and tender. Becoming very 

 popular, as it shows vigor of vine as well as good quality. 

 The beautiful round pods show no disposition to spot. Seed 

 clear white. Makes an excellent dry bean for winter. Packet, 

 10 cents; pint, 25 cents: quart, 45 cents, postpaid. By express or freight, 

 not prepaid, quart, 30 cents; 4 quarts $1.00; peck, $1.75; bushel, $6.00. 



PROLiFIC BLACK WAX BEAN 



36 Prolific Black Wax 



" An improved strain of the old Black Wax; a stronger 

 grower, with longer, straighter and rounder pods, and twice 

 as prolific and is one of the earliest wax sorts. It also remains 

 in good picking condition for a long season. Its handsome, 

 yellow, fleshy, stringless pods are borne well up from the 

 ground, which commend it for both home and market purposes. 

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

 freight, not prepaid, quart, 25 cts.; 4 quarts, 85 cts.; pk„ $1.50; bu., $5.50. 



28 Golden Queen or Hodson Wax 



An entirely distinct type of wax bean. Produces a healthy 

 growth of foliage, resists rust and blight, and is remarkably 

 prolific, with long, straight, attractive, light yellow, oval- 

 shaped pods, somewhat resembling Wardwell's Kidney Wax. 

 The pods are brittle and tender, and of fine texture; if picked 

 when young are entirely stringless. Its good qualities and 

 remarkable productiveness make it one of the best late or 

 main crop wax beans for the garden. 



Packet, 10 cts.; pint, 25 cts.t quart, 40 cts., 

 postpaid. By express or freight, not prepaid, 

 qt., 25 cts; 4 qts., 85 cts.; pk., $1.50; bu., $5.00.

34 ITAA^Allgan 



An exceptionally valuable new bean. Briefly described as a White 

 Seeded Golden Was. Vines robust and vigorous; the handsome broad 

 pods are produced in great abundance and are very uniform in size and 

 color, which is a very attractive light golden yellow; meaty and of super- 

 ior quality. Seed clear white; this feature alone makes this variety a 

 very decided advantage over all other wax podded beans, In that as 

 snaps they cook without discoloring, and thus are more attractive on 

 the table; while as dry beans they are very handsome and superior to 

 any staple white bean. Valuable for both home or market gardeners 

 and canners. Packet, 10 cents; pint, 25 cents; qaart, 45 cents, 

 postpaid. Hy express or freight, not prepaid, quart, 30 cents; 

 4 quarts, $1.00; peck, $1.75; bushel, $6.50. 



Improved Rust Proof 



35 



This Is a decided Improvement on the old Golden Wax. In fact, I no 

 longer catalogue Golden Wax, on account of its great liability to rust 

 or spot; but this strain is almost wholly free from such defects. Im- 

 proved Rust Proof Golden Wax has far more vigor than its parent, and 

 hence its name. The pods are flat and succulent, and are borne in great 

 profusion, and I commend it to the public as a superior wax bush bean. 

 The average size, shape and appearance of the beautiful pods are shown 

 in the illustration. Cooking quickly as snaps, shelling well when green, 

 and of the highest quality in either way. Pacfeet, 10 cts.; pint, 35 cts.; 

 quart, 45 cts., postpaid. By express or freight, not prepaid, 

 quart, 30 cents; 4 quarts, $1.00; peck, $1.75; bushel, $6.00.
