 the earliest beans in cultivation.

 CI RRIE'S RI ST-PROOF BLACK WAX. 

 In describing 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 free- 

 dom 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 

 beautiful golden color ; quality not surpassed, and for 

 productiveness unequaled." All the above claims we have 

 f ully substantiated in our own tests, and we recommend 

 it to our market customers with the greatest confidence.
