THE MAULE SEED BOOK FOR 1909 



BUSH BEANS —wax or yellow pod. 



Davis Kidney Wax. 



A wax podded variety, almost wholly rust 

 proof, witn kidney shaped white seeds. The 

 aigh claims which 1 made for it in 1893, when 

 jotroduciug it to the public, have been abun- 

 dant.y verilied, as it is now in universal favor. 

 £t is handsome, prolific and profitable, and not 

 sxcelled by any of the wax sorts. It is of strong 

 growth,'and holds its long, straight pods well 

 shove the ground. The pods are of a clear, 

 sraxy white color, and are more conspicuous 

 ihan the foliage itself when the bush is in full 

 □earing. Pods plump, full and entirely rust 

 proof, or as nearly so as any bean may be. It 

 a used as a snap short and also as a shelled 

 oean. It is of extremely high table quality, 

 and is adapted to home use or market, and is 

 aot excelled for canning. Pitt., 10c; pt., 25c; 

 qt., 40c, postpaid. By ex. or fgt., not pre- 

 paid, qt., 25 cts.; pk., $1.75, bn., $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 growers. It is one of the best, earliest and 

 most hardy of the wax sorts. The medium sized plant 

 oecomes loaded with long, broad and flat, beautiful waxy 

 solored pods, wbich are stringless and of a rich, luscious 

 flavor, and are exceedingly brittle; the dried beans are of 

 a. distinct kidney shape. I cannot recommend it too 

 uighly lor either market gardeners or home use. Pkt., 

 10 cts.; pt., 25 cts.; qt., 40 cts., postpaid. By ex. or 

 freight, not prepaid, qt, 25 cts; pk, $1.75; bn, $6.50.

ecoTmaend the Profusion Wax Beans; have planted it every year 

 ?ince it was intro 1 iced, and am well satisfied with the grand 



esults. A so tried the Davis Perfect Cucumber last year with very 

 satisfactory results. 



Jones 

 Stringless Wax. 



Is certainly one of the most desir- 

 able wax beans introduced for many 

 years, and I cheerfully recommend 

 it to all my customers as a sort sure 

 to please, and give entire satisfaction 

 at a!l times and under all conditions. 

 It is a yellow podded bush bean with 

 white seed. The pods are round and 

 plump, and attain a length of 5 to 

 1 inches. They are thick and fleshy, 

 and as handsome in the basket as 

 oonld be desired. The pod is perfectly 

 stringless, thus giving name to the 

 variety. The beans are of prime table 

 quality, either green or dry. Packet, 

 10 cts.; pint, 25 cts.; qnart, 45 cts., 

 postpaid. By ex. or fgt., not pre- 

 paid, qt., 30c; pk., $2.00; bn., $7. 



Burpee's Stringless 

 White Wax. 



A very hardy and productive yellow pod bush 

 bean. The pods are straight and flat of a bright 

 lemon yellow color, medium size, brittle, meaty 

 and entirely stringless. The plant is of sturdy, 

 upright growth heavily laden with handsome wax 

 pods and continues in bearing for a long period. 

 Can be used for both a snap or shed bean as the 

 beans are large and white, making it desirable for 

 canners, home or market gardeners. Packet, 10 

 cts.; pint, 25 cts.; quart, 45 cts., postpaid. 

 By express or freight, not prepaid, quart, 

 30 cents; peck, $2.00; bushel, $7.00. 



PROLIFIC BLACK WAX. 



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 hand- 

 some, yeilow, fleshy, stringless pods commend it 

 for both home and market purposes, l-acket, 

 10 cents; pint, 25 cents; quart, 40 cents, post- 

 p >ld. By express or freight, not prepaid, 

 quart, 25 cents; peck, $1.75; bushel, $6.50. 



Improved Rust Proof 

 Golden Wax. 



This is a decided improve- 

 ment 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 6uch defect. Im- 

 proved Rust Proof Golden Wax 

 has far more vigor than its 

 parent, and hence its name. 

 The pods are flat and succu- 

 ler.t, and are borne in great pro- 

 fusion, and 1 commend it to the 

 public as a superior wax busb 

 bean. The average size, shape 

 and appearance of both pod and 

 seed are shown in the illustra- 

 tion. Pkt., 10 cts.; pt., 25 cts.; 

 qt., 40 cts., postpaid. By ex. 

 or fgt., not prepaid, qt., 25 

 cts.; pk., $1.75; bu., $6.50.
