CURRIE'S RUST-PROOF BLACK WAX.— In de- 

 scribing this new bean, one of the largest bean growers of 

 the North writes as follows: " Currie's Rust-proof has 

 proved to be a novelty worthy of its name. After four 

 years' experience with it. tested side by side with wax 

 beans from other growers, we have found it nearest to 

 perfection of them all. For earliness and freedom from 

 rust it is at the head of the wax bean family. Habit, 

 upright and robust, holding the pods well from the 

 ground. Pods.long. straight.flat and very meaty.of a beau- 

 tiful golden color: qualitv. not surpassed, and for produc- 

 tiveness unequaled." All the above claims we have fully 

 substantiated in our own tests, and we recommend it to 

 our market customers with the greatest confidence.
