WARDWELL’S KIDNEY WAX.—This most prolific and hardy dwarf wax 
















































< KIDNEY © Bean is unquestionably one of the earliest of all wax Beans. It is only surpassed 
WAX. in this respect by Maule’s Butter Wax. In comparison with the Golden Wax, the é 
i pods are often ready to pull ten days earlier. Vines are of medium size and hardy, 
% size. while the pods are long, flat and of a delicate waxy yellow. Very brittle and entirely 
stringless. Packet, 10 cents; pint, 25 cents; quart, 45 cents. 
BURPEL’S PERFECTION OR FLAGEOLET WAX.—I find these two beans 
identical. Pods are ofa bright golden color, larger than Golden Wax, very striking 
and showy. Packet, 10 cents; pint, 25 cents; quart, 45 cents. . 
fo we One BEANS. 
WHITE CREASEBACK.—This is that choice pole Bean known through many 
sections of the South as the popular Fat Horse Bean. For string beans, the Crease- 
| back is especially desirable, being of a beautiful light green color, stringless, about 6 
/ inches long, perfectly round, with a crease in the back, and of most excellent quality. 
They ripen very early; in fact, it is the earliest of any green pole bean I know, and 
pods are thick from one end of the pole to the other. Creaseback for early, Lazy 
Wives for late, make an excellent combination. Pkt., 10 cts.; pint, 25 cts.; qt., 45 cts. 
NEW GOLDEN WAX POLE.—Golden Wax has fine, rich, round, fleshy, 
stringless, beautiful golden yellow pods, 7 to 9 inches long. In flavor it equals any in 
cultivation, while the vines begin bearing as early as any other pole bean grown, and 
almost as early as any dwarf wax variety. It has only one fault, and that is the vines 
do not take the pole as readily as the Lazy Wives or Creaseback, but then it is earlier 
than either, and when its other superior qualities are taken into consideration, not 
an order for 1894 should omit it. Packet, 10 cents; pint, 30 cents; quart, 50 cents. 
MAULE’S IMPROVED DUTCH RUNNER.—Without a doubt far the most 
productive pole Bean in cultivation. The illustration gives but a faint idea of its im- 
mense yield. I haye never seen anything that could begin to equal them, and all} 
planting Dutch Runner this season I am sure will agree #! 
with me. They are also wonderfully early. Pods are 
very large and handsome, almost equal to the large 
Lima. In flavor they are spperior, and cooked green 
in Summer, you will find they equal any succotash you 
ever made. They continue in bearing from July right 
up to frost. Pkt., 10 cents; pint, 30 cents; qt., 50 cents. 
NEW GOLDEN CLUSTER.—This variety is an 
improvement on all the good qualities of the Giant and } 
Dwarf Wax, and is distinct in color, in seed and habit of # 
growth. The pods retain their tenderness and plump- [E 
ness long after the Beans have attained a large size, so 
that only a few days elapse a(ter they cease to be fit for 
String Beans before they are fit to shell. The pods are 
a beautiful golden yellow, and are from 6to 8 inches 
long, borne profusely in clusters of four to six. Com- 
mencing to bear ten days after the Golden Wax, it con- 
tinues to produce an abundance of pods until frost sets 
in. Packet, 10 cents; pint., 30 cents; quart, 50 cents.

L I MA B EANS SALEM IMPROVED 
¢ LIMA.—This is a select- 
ed strain of the large Lima, but it is so far superior to 
‘the Lima Beans that I know most of my customers see 
and grow, that I must give it a prominent place in my 
catalogue. In the first place, 1 think you will find it 
the most productive, and therefore the best table Lima 
Wj you have ever grown. Pods are produced in large clus- 
micers, five to six large Beans often in a pod, and ripens 
only a very short time after the Extra Early Lima. The 
vines continue in bearing right up to frost. The King 
of the Garden is a first-class Lima in every way, but | v 
think the Salem fully equals, if it does not surpass it. It 
certainly beats it in strong, regular 
growth onmytrial grounds. Pkt., 
10 cts.; pint, 35 cts; quart, 60 cts. 
DREER’S IMPROVWEDs 
LIMA.—Very productive and pods & 
are always full of extra plump ax 
j Beans of the most delicious and > 
Superior quality. When green 
they are nearly as large as the 
large Lima, thicker, sweeter and 
more tender, remaining green in 
the pod for a long time after ma- 
turing. Pkt., 10c.; pt., 30c.; qt., 50c. 
DREER’S BUSH LIM A.— 
This bean is exactly the same va- 
riety as Dreer’s mentioned above, 
except that, instead of being a pole 
bean, it is a bush form of this va- 
riety. Pkt., 15 cts; 2 pkts., 25 ects. 
FRENCH ASPARAGUS. —A 
Phila. gardener says: “I have 
grown all varieties of beans, and I 
consider the Asparagus Bean the 
most delicious production and 
best I haveeverhad.” Pods grow 
from 2to 4 feet long and are pro- 
duced in great abundance. In col- 
or they are a beautiful green, ten- 
der and delicious, so they will not 
only prove a great curiosity 
wherever grown, but also a desir- 
able variety as well. E. M. Pace, 
Virgil City, Mo., raised the prize 
Asparagus Bean in 1889. It was 
3044 in. long. Packet, 15 cents.
