WAX-PODDED DWARF BEANS 



Currie's Rustproof Wax. f^Ty^^, 



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 14 

 inches. The pods are about 6 inches long, very 

 straight, flat-oval in cross section, uniformly 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. Price, V^lb. 15 cts., 

 lb. 25 cts., 2 lbs. 45 cts., 10 lbs. $2.00, 50 lbs. 

 $8.00, delivered. 



Sure-Crop Stringless Wax. maturity, 



45. Next to Round-Pod Kidney Wax, this variety 

 is the most desirable table Bean we offer of the 

 wax-pod sorts. It was selected from the older 

 Currie's Rustproof Wax by N. B. Keeney & Son. 

 For private consumption or for gardeners' cater- 

 ing to private trade, Sure-Crop Stringless Wax 

 deserves great consideration. In many respects 

 the pods and habit of growth resemble the Cur- 

 rie's Rustproof. The seed of this variety is also 

 purple-black. Price, V41b. 15 cts., lb. 30 cts., 

 2 lbs. 50 cts., 10 lbs. $2.25, 50 lbs. $10, delivered. 



Round-Pod Kidney Wax. S^,""?" 



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 15 inches, pro- 

 ducing long, curved, round, 

 yellow pods, extremely brittle 

 and absolutely stringless. They 

 are borne equally above and 

 below the foliage, as may be 

 noted in the illustration. Ex- 

 cellent quality. Fine for home 

 or market. Price, l^lb. 15 cts., 

 lb. 30 cts., 2 lbs. 50 cts., 

 10 lbs. $2.25, 50 lbs. $10.00, 

 delivered. 



Wardwell's Kidney 



Wav ^^y^ to maturity, 

 TV a.A. Origmated by 



Charles Wardwell, of Jefferson 

 County, New York, listed by 

 Thorburn in 1887, and offered 

 by Johnson & Stokes the 

 following year. The plants will 

 attain a growth of about 14 

 inches. The pods are about 

 6 inches long, slightly curved, 

 flat, six -seeded, clear yellow, 

 almost stringless and of very 

 fair quality. As is the case of 

 the Currie's Rustproof, it is, 

 perhaps, more subject to 

 anthracnose during wet sea- 

 sons than are some of the 

 green-pod varieties, but, never- 

 theless is a fine sort. Price, 

 V4lb. 15 cts., lb. 25 cts., 2 lbs. 

 45 cts., 10 lbs. $2.00, 50 lbs. 

 $8.00, delivered. 



Mount Holly, N. J., February 22, 1922 

 Dear Mr. Stokes: You will find enclosed my order for seeds. 

 Very nearly every seedsman in the country sent me their 

 catalogue this year, but Stokes Seeds have always given sat- 

 isfaction to us since 1884, and I have no cause to change 

 now at my age of sixty years. 1924 will make forty years that I have h > 

 raised good crops from Stokes Seeds. Wishing you gi-eat success this year, t-^ 

 I remain, Fred L. Owen. 



Plymouth, Mass., April 11, 1922 

 Gentlemen: Enclosed please find my order for seeds. We ordered seeds from the firm of Johnson & Stokes, 

 I think, in 1885 or thereabouts, from Zurich, Kans. They are always our standby. 



Sincerely, J. A. Palmberg.
