» DAVIS KIDNEY WAX 
A wax podded variety, with kidney shaped 
white seeds. The high claims which I made 
for it in 1895, when introducing it to the public, 
have been abundantly verified. It is handsome, 
prolific and profitable, and not excelled by any 
of the wax sorts. It is of strong growth, and 
holds its long, straight pods well above the 
ground. The pods are of aclear, waxy white 
color, and are more conspicuous than the 
foliage itself when the bush is in full bearing. 
Pods plump, full and entirely rust proof, or 
as nearly so aS any bean may be. It is of ex- 
tremely high table quality, and is adapted to 
home use or market, and is not excelled for 
canning. Packet, 10 cents; pint, 25 cents; 
quart, 45 cents, postpaid. By express or 
freight, mot prepaid, quart, 30 cents; - sii / ‘ 
4 quarts, $1.00; peck, $1.75, bushel, $6.50. = . - = 
Wardwell’s Kidney Wax 
The Market Gardener’s 
Favorite 
Many progressive gardeners will have no 
other than Wardwell’s Kidney Wax Bean. In 
the South especially an enormous acreage is 
annually planted, with great profit to the grow- 
ers.. It is one of the best, earliest and most 
hardy of the wax sorts. The medium sized plant 
becomes loaded with long, broad and flat, beau- 
( tiful waxy colored pods, which are stringless 
and of a rich, luscious flavor, and ‘are exceed- 
ingly brittle; the dried beans are of a distinct 
kidney shape. I cannot recommend it too 
' highly to market gardeners, as although several 
other varieties have tried to supplant it, Ward- 
well’s still holds its own in many sections of the 
eountry. A great favorite for shipping, the 
home market and family garden. 
Packet, 10 cts.; pint, 25 cts.; quart, 45 cts., 
postpaid. By ex. or freight, not prepaid, 
qt., 30c.; 4 qts., $1.00; pk., $1.75; bu., $6.50.

WARDWELL’S KIDNEY WAX BEAN 
31 New Stringless White Wax Ee IMPROVED RUST PROOF boeRoweD — : es 
A very hardy and productive yellow pod RUST 
bush bean. The pods are straight and flat GO DEN X PROOF 
of a bright lemon yellow color, medium L WA GOLDEN 
Size, brittle, meaty and entirely stringless. WAX BEAN 
This is a decided improvement on thejold 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. Improved 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 both pod and seed are shown in the illustra- 
tion. Cooking quickly as snaps, shelling well when green, and of 
the highest quality in either way. Packet, 10 cts.; pint, 25 cts.; 
quart, 45 cts., postpaid. By express or freight, not pre-= 
paid, quart, 30 cts.; 4 quarts, $1.00; pk., $1.35; bu., $6.50. 
ss PROLIFIC BLACK WAX 
An improved strain of the old Black Wax; a stronger grower, 
with longer, straighter and rounder pods, and twice as prolific. 
Its handsome, yellow, fleshy, stringless pods commend it for both 
home and market purposes. 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, $6.50. 
s MICHIGAN WHITE WAX 
An exceptionally valuable new bean. Briefly described as a 
White Seeded Golden Wax. 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 superior 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 with- 
out 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 
\  copyrisHtes | Canners. Packet, 10 cts.; pint, 25 cts.; quart, 45 cts., postpaid.
