COLE'S GARDEN ANNUAL. 



Keeney's Rustless Golden Wax Bean. 



The introducer says "this is THE 

 LONG LOOKED FOR BEAN, combin- 

 ing hardiness and productiveness with 

 fine quality. 



"A strong-growing bush variety of re- 

 markable vigor and freedom from rust. 

 It sends out short tendrils on which pods 

 are formed in addition to those near the 

 central stock of the plant, which ac- 

 counts for its wonderful productiveness, 

 amounting, under favorable conditions, 

 to 100 to 150 fold. 



"The pods are meaty and well filled, 

 thick-flat when young, and semi-round 

 later; of rich yellow color and fine qual- 

 ity, and entirely stringless, even when 

 large enough to shell. If the pods are 

 picked as fast as formed, the plant con- 

 tinues to furnish a bountiful supply for 

 an unusually long season." 



Bean growers have long felt the need 

 of a really Rustless Wax Bean, and the 

 quality alone will entitle it to Ugh rank 

 if the claims of the Introducers are sus- 

 tained in its general culture. Another 

 step of great importance will be marked 

 if this new variety is found to possess 

 the vigor of growth claimed for it. 



Price per pkt. 7 eta., 3 pkts. 15 cts., pt. 25 

 cts., qt. 40 cts., pk. $1.25, bu. $5.00.
