Improved Golden Wax Bean. 



The Golden Wax Bean has for years been 



the most popular of the dwarf wax varieties, 



and in the Improved Golden Wax which we 



now offer we have a bean that possesses all the good 



points of the old Golden Was, bat is larger in pod and 



much more prolific. 



This improved stock Is one of the handsomest beans 



we have ever seen, being of dark rich golden yellow color 



and of perfect shape, being neither too large nor too small. 



It is of grand quality, showing no string or coarseness even when past 



Jts U>st, but is of tender, melting flavor at all stages of its growth. 



For market pardeners or private families no better bush b*an can 

 bs planted. (See cut.) Price, 30 cts. per pt., 50 cts. per qt., $2.25 per 



YOSEPIITE illOTH W BOSH BEfffl. 



Last season was a disastrous one to Wax Beans generally, the rust being much more prevalent 

 than usual, and in cases where the Yosemite Bean was planted' at the same distance apart as 

 ordinary varieties, it was also badly affected. 



We would again call attention to the necessity of planting this grand variety nearly twice as 

 '*ide apart as ordinary bush beans. 



The plant is so large and vigorous, and the pods are so solid and pulpy, that they require a 

 great deal of light and air to perfect them. 



To such as have not grown this variety before we would state that it is regarded by many 

 eminent authorities as being second only in distinctiveness and value to the Bush Lima, which we 

 also introduced. 



The pods frequently attain a length of ten to fourteen inches, with the thickness of a man's 

 finger, and are nearly all solid pulp, the seeds being very small when the pods are fit for use. The pods 

 are a rich golden color, and are absolutely stringless. cooking tender and delicious. This is the 

 coming Wax Bean for family or market purposes. It is enormously productive, as many as 50 of 

 tts monster pods having been counted on one bush. (See cut.) Price, per pkt. 10 cts.. ¥ 2 P^ 30 

 cts., per pt. 50 cts.. per qt. 75 cts.. $4.50 per pk.

Mammoth Wax Bush Bean, 



Extra Early Refugee Bean- 



The old Refugee Bean is so well and favorably known that this new variety will be quickly 



appreciated. It i6 similar in every respect to the ordinary Refugee, but is nearly two weeks 



earlier. It is enormously prolific, and from its earliness is almost certain to produce a crop, no matter how unfavorable the 



The Extra Early Refugee is rapidly becoming the favorite 6ort with Southern truckers and planters as it matures equally early w.th the 



Red Valentine, and has that beautiful silvery green color in the pods that is so much desired. In quality it is unexcelled, beiog free from 



6tiing, and meltingly tender at all stages of its growth. Our stock of this variety has been specially seU . roved, and wo 



recommend all to g'ive it a trial. Price, 30 cts. per pt., 35 cts. per qt., $1.75 per p"k., $6.00 per bush.
