Dreer’s Reliable. VEGETABLE SEEDS 
Dwarf or Bush Beans 
Wax or Yellow-Pod Varieties 
These Wax Beans are preferred by quite a few gardeners on account of 
their beautiful light color and their mild flavor. They are grown in the same 
manner as the green-pod varieties and those with black seeds may be sown 
considerably earlier than those which have lighter colored seeds. All varieties 
we list have proved to produce heavy crops of attractive appearance under 
most varied conditions of soil and weather. For the control of the bean beetle 
spray or dust with Dutox, see page 195. 
65 Black Wax or Pencil Pod, Improved. An extra fine, early Bean of 
the highest quality which like others of the black seeded varieties may be 
planted earlier than seed of other colors, being much hardier. The pods 
are from 6 to 7 inches long, round, nearly straight, positively stringless, 
and of a clear yellow. The plants are very strong and bear abundantly.

71 Golden Wax, Improved Rust-Proof. The vines grow erect and 
bear the pods well off the ground, preventing rust and rot. The pods average 
five inches long. They are quite fleshy, straight, broad, flat, of a rich golden 
yellow color, and stringless at all stages. A sure cropper for the small garden.

high quality and one that we can unhesitatingly recommend. The pods

yellow color. So brittle and stringless are the pods that the variety is often 
called for under the name of Brittle Wax. Pkt. 10c; } lb. 25c; lb. 40c;

character and disease resistant constitution of its plants. It starts bearing 
within 60 days after seeds are sown. The pods average 6 to 7 inches long. 
They are very meaty, flat but thick through. In common with most black- 
seeded varieties it is very hardy and may therefore be planted several days 
earlier than the light-seeded sorts. Pkt. 10c; 4 lb. 25c; lb. 40c; 2 lbs. 70c;
