Maule's Improved Butter Wax 



This bean was first offered by me as "Nameless Wax" in 1906, later 

 known as Maule's Wingold Wax, and during that time has become one 

 of the mo.st popular wax beans on the market. For either the home 

 garden or market it isan ideal sort. The U. S. Department of Agricul- 

 ture in Bulletin 1U9, endorses this bea^n highly and part of their descrip-

 ney Wax, with yellow shell pods borne equally above and below foli- 

 age, never colored or splashed." 



In addition to the above this bean is the earliest of all the wax sorts, 

 and is rust-proof and free from disease attacks, and all in all is unsur- 

 passed by any bean of its type on the market.
