Three Wax Beans of Special Merit. 



One packet of each 20c. If by mail add 8c. per pint, or 15c. per quart. Packets postage free. 

 The following three Beans, while not all novelties of 1898, have been selected by us as deserving of special 

 notice: Davis* White Wax Bean is the best bean for market gardeners and canners; New Rustless Golden Wax is a 

 wax bean absolutely free from rust, stringless and very prolific, and Rogers' New Lima Wax Bean is a most desir- 

 able acquisition as a snap-short, and sure to become a favorite main-crop variety. One pint will make five pack- 

 ets and one packet contains about 200 beans— cultural directions printed on every package. 



DAVIS' WHITE WAX. 



The best white-seeded wax bean, of handsome ap- 

 pearance and very productive. The vines are a 

 mass of pods, held well up from the ground. The 

 pods are always full of large, plump beans; being 

 pure white with no eye, very valuable for canners 

 and market gardeners. Pkt., 8c; pt., 15c; qt., 

 25c; X Pk., 75c; pk., $1.25; bu., $4.25. 



NEW RUSTLESS WAX. 



Keeney's Golden. This new bean is absolutely 

 free from rust, and combines hardiness and pro- 

 ductiveness with fine quality; it is a vigorous bush 

 variety — see illustration; producing well filled 

 pods, of a rich yellow color, fine quality and en- 

 tirely stringless, even when large enough to shell. 

 If the pods are picked as fast as developed, the 

 plant continues to furnish a bountiful supply for 

 an unusually long season. The past year has prov- 

 en all that is claimed for this valuable new bean 

 — it is the only absolutely rust-proof variety . Pkt. 

 8c; pt., 15c; qt., 25c; pk., $1.25; bu., $4.50. 



ROGERS* LIMA WAX. 



• A first class Wax Bean and a novelty — named 

 Lima on account of its glossy foliage and bloom, 

 which resesembles the Dwarf Lima. The pods are 

 very broad and flat, borne in great profusion and 

 of a beautiful yellow, waxy appearance; fine qual- 

 ity, very tender and juicy; very productive, at- 

 tractive and sure to become a favorite main crop 

 fpk., $1.25; pk., $2.00.

_ We here present the earliest beet in cultivation, the Extra Early 

 Diriffo; of unequalled quality and earlier than any other heretofore 

 introduced; also the New Columbia Beet; pronounced by all who have 

 given it a trial as the best table variety. One ounce is equal to four 

 packets and one packet contains over 500 seeds. 



EXTRA EARLY DERIGO. A new extra early turnip beet, without 

 doubt the earnest in cultivation. It originated with a leading market 

 gardener, and was brought to perfection after years of careful selec- 

 tion. It is a rich, blood-red beet of fine grain and flavor; very early, 

 productive, smooth and rapid growth ; top and tap roots very small — 

 just the variety for market gardeners. Pkt., 3c; % oz -> 5c; oz., 8c; 

 % lb., 20c; lb., 55c; 2 lbs. or more 50c. per pound. 



NEW COLUMBIA. The best early table variety; if sown later, excel- 

 lent for winter use also — just what market gardeners have been look- , 

 ing for. The roots are uniform, of good siz« and handsome in appear- 

 ance — see illustration; skin smooth aDd clear; flesh deep, blood red 



and of the finest quality ; tender, rich and melting; very productive, and a good keeper. Pkt., 3c; % ° 7 - 

 oz., 8c; X M>., 20c? lb., 55c; 2 lbs. or more, 50c. per lb. gdjf For other Beans, see page 9; Beets, page 10.
