■of the best Wax Beans, bearing long, flat 



pods, of a delicate waxy yellow, stringless

most varieties of Wax-Podded Beans. We 



cannot say too much in its favor. Pt., 20 cis.

cts.); 4 qis., $1.00 ; peck, $1 50.

pods are tender and brittle. Pt., 20 cts.

cts.); 4 qts., $1.00; peck, fl.50.-.

 ment of the old-fashioned Golden Wax Bean,

the finest quality. It is early, productive and a good all-round 



bean; ripens about with the Kidney Wax. Pt., 20 cts. (post-

 entine Bean, with round wax pods. It is without exception

 from rust, and remains a long time without becoming tough ; 

 specially recommended to market gardeners on account of its 

 heavy cropping qualities. Pt., 20 cts. (postpaid, 28 cts.); qt.,
