Davis Kidney Wax 



A wax podded variety, with kidney sliaped 

 white seeds. The dry bean is a good shell bean 

 for winter use. 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. It is of strong growth, 

 and holds its long, straight pods well above 

 the ground. The pods are of a clear, vraxy 

 white color; are more conspicuous than the 

 foliage itself when the bush is in full bearing. 

 Pods oval-shaped 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. Piicket, 10 cents; pint, 25 cents; 

 quart, 45 cents, postpaid. By express or 

 freight, not prei»ald, quart, 30 cents; 

 4 quarts, SI. 10; pecli, Sa.OO; bushel, §7.50. 



IMPERIAL WAX OR GOLDEN CROWN BEAN. 



33 Imperial Wax 

 or Golden Crown 



This remarkable early bush bean is an iinproved Jones' 

 Stringless Wax, becoming very popular; has long golden 

 pods. The pods are round, plump and perfectly stringless. 

 The seeds are white, and their color makes them sell quickly 

 in the ripe or dry state. Its enormous yield, fine table quality 

 and freedom from string place it in the front rank, and make 

 It of peculiar value to the private grower, the market gar- 

 dener and the canner. The vine is of the bush type, with 

 strong and vigorous growth, with the 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 very 

 early, free from rust and bliglit, and produces marketable 

 pods very quickly. The yellow or wax pods make an excel- 

 lent snap bean. The seed being white make It a desirable 

 shell bean for winter. It ripens so early it can be harvested 

 before the late August rains. Pfct., 10 cts.; pt., 30 cts.; qt., 

 50 cts., postpaid. By express or freight, not prepaid, 

 quart, 35 cts.; 4 quarts, SI. 25; peck, $3.25; bushel, $8.00.

28 Golden Queen or Hodson Wax 



An entirely distinct type of wax bean. Produces a healthy growth of 

 foliage, resists rust and blight, and is remarkably prolific, with long, 

 straight, attractive, light yellow, oval-shaped pods, somewhat resem- 

 bling Wardwell's Kidney Wax. The pods are brittle and tender, and of 

 fine texture; if picked when young are entirely stringless. Its good 

 qualities and remarkable productiveness make it one of the best late or 

 main crop wax beans for the garden. Packet, 10 cts;. pint, 30 cts.; 

 quart, 50 cts., postpaid. By express or freight, not prepaid, 

 quart, 35 cents; 4 quarts, SI. 25; peck, S2.25; bushel, $8.00.

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 super- 

 ior quality. .Seed clear white; this feature alone makes this variety a 

 ^ery decided advantage over all other wax podded beans, In that as 

 snaps they cook without 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 cauners. Packet, 10 cents; pint, 25 cents; quart, 45 cents, 

 postpaid. By express or freight, not prepaid, quart, 30 cents; 

 4 quarts, $1.10; peck, $2.00; bushel, $7.00.

Improved Rust Proof 

 Golden Wax 



.HENRI' MAULE, 



MICHIGAN WHITE WAX BEAN. 



This Is a decided improvement 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 such defects. Im- 

 proved Rust Proof Golden Wax has far more vigor than its parent, and 

 hence its name. The pods are of medium length, 4 to 5 inches, nearly 

 straight, broad, flat and of golden yellow color, 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 the beautiful pods are shown 

 in the illustration. Cooking quickly as snaps, shelling well when green, 

 and of the highest quality in either way. Packet, 10 cts.; pint, 30 cts.; 

 quart, 50 cts., postpaid. By express or freight, not prepaid, 

 quart, 35 cents; 4 quarts, $1.25; peck, $2.25; bushel, $8.00.
