46 Maule's Noxall 



This bean had been grown by one family for 60 years to the exclusion of 

 all otlsers. Several years ago one of my growers married into this family; 

 in addition to securing a wife also secured a few of these beans. Noxall 



is a sure cropper, giving large crops when others are an entire failure. 

 The green pods are long, round and tender; excellent for planting among 

 corn, good for either snap or shelled beans. Packet, 10 cts.spltit, 30

The green pods are wonderfully broad, thick, fleshy and above all, 

 stringless. They retain their rich, stringless and tender qna'.itles until 

 they are ripe; so much so, in fact, that I am perfectly safe in saying 

 they are the best of all snap shorts. The pods are from 6 to 6 inches 

 long, exceedingly rich and fine flavored. Pkt., 10 cts.; pint, 30
