GOLDEN WAX BEAN. 



BEANS— Dwarf or Bush. 



German, Bohne. 



French, Haricot. 



Begin sowing the 1st of May, if the ground is in fit condition. For suc- 

 cessive crops sowing may be made every two or three weeks, until the 1st of 

 September. Sow thinly in drills from 2 to 3 inches deep, and from 18 inches to 

 2 feet apart. If the soil is rather poor the former depth will suffice ; if rich, the 

 1 .iter. 



If by mail in quantities of a pint and upwards, add IScenis per quart for postage. 



One quart to 100 feet of drill, 2 bushels to the acre in drills. 



Carrie's Rust-Proof Golden Wax — A variety of very superior merit, and 



one that is unequaled by any other Wax Bean in its many excellent qualities. 

 It is positively proof against rust, that most inveterate and destructive enemy 

 of the Bean. For while grown side by side, for several years, with other Wax 

 Beans, all of them more or less affected by rust, many of them completely 

 ruined by it, this Bean has remained entirely free from rust. Not only is it 

 Rust-proof, but it possesses the most excellent and most desirable quality of 

 being always exceedingly crisp and tender, with no approach whatever to stringi- 

 ness, and of a most delicious flavor: whereas, as is well-known among the iew 

 Beans which are said to be nearly rust-proof, there is not one that is not 

 rendered almost unfit for use, owing to the tough, stringy texture of the pods, 

 and their poor flavor. Not the least among the good qualities of this Bean is 

 its enormous productiveness, audit possesses the further merit of being the 

 earliest of all Wax Beans.
