Many progressive gardeners ■will have bo 

 other than Wardwell's Kidney Wax Bean. In 

 the South especially an enormous acreage Is 

 planted. It Is one of the best, earliest and most 

 hardy of the "nax sorts. The medium sized plant /^^^ 

 becomes loaded vrith long, broad and flat, beau- 

 tiful Tvaxy 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, AVard- 

 ■well's still holds its own in many sections of the 

 country. A great favorite for shipping, the 

 home market and family garden.

WARDWELL'S KIDNF.Y WAX BEAN. 



Maule's Profusion Wax 



First offered in 1903. 30,000 packets were distributed free for trial among my 

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

 derful productiveness, but also with its Hue flavor and handsome appearance. I 

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

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

 whom selected the name Profusion "Wax, which I considered the most appropriate 

 for the variety, and the hundred dollar prize was divided among them. The illus- 

 tration 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 a wonderfully strong grower. 

 Pods are round, of very large size, full of meat, brittle and 

 stringles>5. In addition to these good qualities it is a ery early 

 and continues m beaiing a long lime. Profu'iion ^^ ax \m\\ 

 hold its oAMi at all times against strongest competition
