No. 32. Currie's Rust-Proof Wax. Days to Mattoity, 40. Originated near 

 Milwaukee, and said to be a sport from Golden Wax, introduced by Currie Brothers in 

 1889. At the present time it is one of the most largely grown wax beans for all general 

 purposes. The plant reaches a height of about fourteen inches. The pods are about six 

 inches long, very straight, flat-oval in cross section, imiformly six-seeded, bright yellow 

 in color, decidedly stringy, coarse-grained and of rather poor quality. As is the case of the 

 Wardwell's Kidney Wax, this bean is susceptible to anthracnose. For the above reasons 

 it is not recommended for home garden planting.

No. 34. Davis White Wax. Days to Maturity, 40. Originated by Mr. Eugene 

 Davis, of Grand Rapids, and introduced to the trade generally in 1895. This bean resembles 

 the Currie's Rust-Proof more than any other variety. The plants attain a height of about 

 fifteen inches, and are quite susceptible to disease. Pods are seven inches long, very 

 uniformly straight, flat, six or seven-seeded, clear, bright yellow color, stringy, fibrous and 

 of fair quahty, but very attractive. This is primarily a market variety, but if gathered 

 while young would, no doubt, prove satisfactory for the home garden. Pkt. 10^, lb. 45ji, 

 5 lbs. $2.00, postpaid; by express, 5 lbs. or more, 35^ per lb., 60 lbs. (1 bu.) $21.00. 



No. 40. Pencil Pod Black Wax. Days to Maturity, 45. A selection of Black 

 Wax improved by N. B. Keeney & Son, and introduced by Johnson & Stokes in 1900. 

 The plant will attain a height of fourteen inches, but is a vigorous grower, and is not suscep- 

 tible to disease as other wax-podded sorts. The pods attain a length of six inches, are slender, 

 curved near the tip, rounded, seven-seeded, very clear yeUow, absolutely stringless, very 

 brittle, fine-grained and of excellent quality. This variety is highly recommended for all 

 purposes where the quality of the edible product is a consideration.

No. 36. Round-Pod Kidney Wax. Days to 

 Maturity, 45. Originated by N. B. Keeney & Son, and 

 introduced by Johnson & Stokes in 1900. This bean or 

 one of great similarity was named Brittle Wax by Burpee 

 the following year. The plant will grow to a height of 

 about fifteen inches, producing long, curved, round, yel- 

 low pods, extremely brittle and absolutely stringless. 

 They are borne equally above and below the fohage, as 

 may be noted in the illustration. Excellent quahty.

 stouter, flatter, straighter and longer-pointed, the dry seeds
