Vegetable Seeds — 9 



Imperial Wax 



or 



This remarkable new bush bean has long golden pods. 

 The pods are round, plump and perlecUy stringiess. Ihe 

 seeds are white, and their color makes them sen quickly 

 In the ripe or dry state. Its enormous yieid, line table 

 quality and freedom from string place it in the front 

 rank, and make it of peculiar value to the private grow- 

 er, the market gardener and the canner. The vine is of 

 the bush type, with strong and vigorous growth, with tl.e 

 load of pods carried well above the soil. In addition to 

 this, spikelets are thrown out above the foliage, which 

 In turn produce pods, thus adding materially to the total 

 yield of the plant. Imperial is \ ery early, free from rust 

 and blight, and produces marketable pods very quickly. 

 It ripens so early that it can be harvested before the 

 late August rains. Pkt., 10 cts.; pt., 23 cts.; qt., 

 45 cts., postpaid. By express or freight, not pre- 

 paid, quart, 30 cts.; peck, $2.00; fousliel, $7.00. 



IMPERIAL WAX OR GOLDEN CROWN. 



New Profusion Wax. 



A Winner Every Time on the Table, on the Market Stall and in the Cash Returns 

 it Makes the Grower. You Certainly Need it in Your 1909 Garden. 



This grand wax bean, which was first offered in ISOo as "Nameless," has certainly 

 surpassed my expectat.ous. 3Q,CC0 packets were uislributed free for trial among 

 my customers, who, without a single exception, were delighted, not only with its 

 wonderful productiveness, but also with its fine flavor and handsome appearance. 

 I offered in my 1903 catalogue ?100 in cash prizes for a suitable name for Profusion 

 Wax Bean. More than 10,000 names were suggested by my customers, six of 

 who*'! f-Vcted the name Profusion Wax, which I considered the most appropriate 

 for the variety, and the hundred dollar prize was divided 

 among them. The illustration herewith is no exaggeration 

 whatever. The vines are literally covered with fine, long, 

 handsome transparent yellow pods, which are remarkably 

 brittle, as it has no strings whatever. It is very sure to 

 make a reputation for itt-elf either in the home or market 

 garden under all circumstances. It is a wonderfully strong 

 grower. Pods are round, of very large size, and always full 

 of meat. In addition to these good qualities it is very early 

 and continues in bearing a long time. Profusion Wax will' 

 hold its own at all times against the strongest competition. 

 Packet, 10 cents; pint, 25 cents; quart, 45 cents, postpaid. By express 

 or freight, not prepaid, quart, 30 cents; peck, $2.00; bushel, $7.00. 



The Silver Bean. 



The pods are of a beautiful silvery color, and are borne in 

 great profusion They are sweet and tender. I predict tbat 

 this bean will become popular, as it shows vigor of vine as 

 well as good quality, and the pods thus far show no dispo- 

 sition to s| ot. Packet, 10 cents; pint, 25 cents; quart, 45 cents, post- 

 paid. By express or freight, not prepaid, quart, 30 cents; peck, $2.00.
