EARLY MOHAWK.—A hardy, £ 
> early sort, of old-established reputa-“™ 
“tion. Pkt., 10 cts.; pt., 20 cts.; qt., 35 cts. 
IMPROVED EARLY YELLOW 
SIX WEERS.—After Valentine, I 
believe this bean is the next best 
extra early green pod. It is abso- 
lutely stringless until it attains full 
size. It is extra early, very produc- 
tive, and always makes a good, 
4 thick, meaty pod. Pkt, 10 cts.; 
pt., 25cts.; qt., 40 cts. 
ROUND PODDED REFU- 
GEE.—This old, well known 
variety has lately been greatly 
improved by one of our most 
celebrated bean growers. Itis 
somewhat later than either of 
the above, but still it is won- 
derfully prolific, of excellent 
shape, and in every way desir- gz 
able; has always been largely 
grown for pickling. Pkt., 10 cts.; pt., 20 cts.; qt., 35c. ¥ 
BEST OF ALL.—Pods are long, very fleshy, 
succulent and stringless, of good flavor. They are =¥ 
produced medium early and abundantly. Market : 
gardeners in the neighborbood of New Orleans 
have long considered them the best of all. Al- 
though only known in the North tora lmtleg ie | Aaa 
tent, all planting them agree they we eserve the Pas oat a = == ei = 
name. Packet, 10 cts.; pint, 25 cts.; quart, 45cts. %MP. EARLY YELLOW SIX WEEKS. 
NEW PROLIFIC GERMAN WAX.—This is a decided improvement on the old German 
Wax Butter Bean, being a stronger grower, with longer, straighter and rounder pods, and at the 
same time is more than twice as prolific. Just as the Rust Proof Golden Wax has taken the place 

S 
of the old Golden Wax, so has Prolific Wax taken the place of theold German Wax Bean; so much 
y so that I do not consider there is any necessity of listing the other variety any longer. All who 
planted Prolific Wax last season are loud in their praises,and wantno better bean. Its very hand- 
some golden yellow fleshy pods, entirely free from strings, borne in immense clusters on every 
plant, reeommend Prolific Wax to the market and home gardener. Pkt., 10c.; pint, 25c.; qt., 45c. 
IMPROVED RUST PROOF GOLDEN WAX.—AsS we all know, the Golden Wax has long 
been a popular and desirable variety, its greatest fault being its liability to rust, especially in wet 
weather. This new strain of Golden Wax is really all its name implies. Pods are thicker than 
Golden Wax, and if anything of better quality, and above all, absolutely rust proof. I have now 
handled this variety for three seasons, and it has given unbounded satisfaction to all my custo- 
mers, SO much so that I can conscientiously recommend every friend of the old Golden Wax to 
give the Rust Proofa trial, and they will not want any other. Pkt., 10 cts.; pint, 30 cts.; quart, 50 ets. 
Se = YOSEMITE WAX.—No other Dwarf Bush Bean can anywhere near approach Yosemite in 
NEW PROLIFIC GERMAN WAX. size, pods being often 8 to 9 inches long, and as thick as a man’s finger. Pods are nearly all solid

cious. Is enormously prolific, and has given great satisfaction the 
last few years to all my customers. Pkt., 15 cts.; pint, 30 cts. 
BLACK WAX.—Tender, yellow, transparent pods of the most 
delicious flavor. Packet, 10 cents; pint, 25 cents; quart, 45 cents. 
SADDLE-BACK WAX.—A cross of the Yosemite and Black- 
eyed wax, made by N. B. Keeney & Son, Genesee Co., N. Y. First 
offered in 1890 by a Philadelphia seedsinan, who claims them to be 
broader and thicker than other sorts. Pkt., 10 cts.; pint, 40 cts. fA 
GOLDEN WAX.—Ten days earlier than the Black Wax. Pods ph 
large, long, brittle and stringless. Say what you will, this variety py¥ 
is hard to beat. Notwithstanding the many wax sorts, it still holds 7/, 
itsown. Packet, 10 cents; pint, 25 cents; quart, 45 cents. yg 
WHITE KIDNEY.—Popular, either green or ripe, and is one 
of the very best forWinter use. Pkt., 10 cts.; pint, 25 cts.; quart, 45 cts. 
LARGE WHITE MARROWFEFAT.—This has always been a 
popular variety in field culture, and also a most profitable market 
sort. Packet, 10 cents; pint, 20 cents; quart, 35 cents. 
PROLIFIC TREE.—This is a small, very white bean, resem-© 
bling the old-fashioned Navy Bean, but cooks in less time, and is 
of better flavor. 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 allowed to crowd each other. In competition 
for a $25.00 premium, M. B. Puryear, Linwood, Ark., raised a vine 
containing71l pods. Mr. Thompson, of North Andover, Mass., a 
plant containing 612 pods. From this, some idea can be had of their 
wonderful productiveness. Pkt, 10 cts.; pint, 25 cts.; quart, 40 cts. 
BURLINGAME MEDI1- -—2J0. —7-.—_ = 
UMS.—I have advertised this = 
for years as the earliest, har- 
diest and most productive 
field bean in America, and 
have sold many hundreds of B= 
bushels to my customers, to == 
their entire satisfaction. 40 2= 
bushels to the acre is not an E 
unusual yield, and they have 
frequently made even a larg- = 
erreturn. They ripen sever- 
al days earlier than the Mar- 
row 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 handsomer than the & 
old sort, consequently can be fig 
frequently sold at an extra & 
price. One of the largest }}x 
firms handling Beans in [Raf 
Western New York write me 
that they consider Burlin- 
game the best of all, and it Rp 
has always produced a crop tdi 
when others have failed. =ypa) \'
