BUSH BEANS.—WAX oR 
EW DAVIS KIDNEY WAX.—This is a business man’s bean; one of the very best for 
market gardeners and canners. It is a wax podded variety, almost wholly rust proof, with 
kidney shaped white seeds. The high claims which 1 made for it in 1895, when introducing it 
to the public, have been abundantly verified, as it is now in universal favor. 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 a clear, waxy white color, ¢ 
and are more conspicuous than the foliage itself when the bush is in full bearing. Seeds of il 
true kidney shape, pure white, and with no dark eye whatever. Pods PIUIAD, full and entirely 
rust proof, or as nearly so aS any bean may be. It is used as asnap short and also as a shelled 6:

' JROGERS’ LIMA WAX.—Pod 
road and flat, the broadest of all the 
wax bush beans. The seed is not a 
lima bean, but the pod is so large and 
flat as to resemble or suggest the 
pod ofa lima. The color of the pod 
is a semi-transparent, glossy, lemon 
wax, the pod assuming this attrac- 
tive color as soon as formed. Ten- 
der, juicy and delicious in every 
way; never tough. The plant re- 
quires space for development, as it 
is vigorous and branching. It bears 
profusely, the heavy pods hanging 
beneath the protection of the leaves 
and thus escaping injury. Pkt., 10

its well-deserved praises for nearly a decade. Much favorable comment ©.
