YOSEMITE MAMMOTH 

 WAX BUSH BEAN. 



This wonderful wax variety is the 

 forerunner of a race of giants among 

 beans. The pods are nearly all solid 

 pulp and absolutely stringless, cook- 

 ing tender and delicious. The mon- 

 ster pods average 10 to 14 inches in 

 length, as shown in cut, and are a rich 

 golden in color, making a most hand- 

 some appearance either on the plant 

 or on the table. The Yosemite com- 

 bines size, productiveness and qual- 

 ity in one variety, and is the nearest 

 approach to perfection In Wax Beans. 

 The plant is a remarkably vigorous 

 (sne, and if the pods are kept closely 

 picked, new ones will continue to be 

 produced, and a marvelously large 

 crop will be obtained. Per pkt. 5 cts., 

 pt. 20 cts., qt. 40 cts., pk. $1.25, bu. 

 ?o.00. 



DAVIS KIDNEY WAX BEAN. 



This new variety comes very highly recom- 

 mended. Has a large handsome pod, contain- 

 ing pure white kidney-shaped beans. The 

 plant is vigorous, of compact, upright growth, 

 carrying *he pods well to the center and up 

 from the ground. In productiveness, it is 

 astonishing, and when we say the DAVIS 

 KIDNEY WAX will produce a third more 

 bushels of pods to the acre, we are puTtin;i 

 it mild. . ^ ^ 



The pods are long, straight, oval, clear, 

 waxv white color and handsome, ofteu grow- 

 ing to a length of seven to eight inches, and. 

 when fit for use, are quite stringless and of 

 fine flavor. 



One of the main points of superiority over 

 other sorts, is its extreme hardiness and ship- 

 ping qualities. Another good point of merit is 

 the plants produce a very small portion of 

 waste or second quality pods. 



There is nothing we can so highly recom- 

 mend for market gardeners' and canners' use; 

 and in conclusion may say that this new Bean 

 is bound to become the most popular and 

 standard wax sort. Per pkt. 5 cts., pt. 25 

 cts., qt. 45 cts., pk. $1.25. bu. $4.50. 



New Valentine Wax Bean. 



Everyone knows what a fine Bean the 

 green-podded Valentine is, and, if we 

 say that this is like it in quality, earliness 

 and productiveness and that it has pods of 

 a handsome yellow color, it will at once be 

 recognized as one of the mjjst valuable addi- 

 tions to the Bean family. It is without ex- 

 ception the earliest W^ax Bean, being even 

 earlier than Refugee Wax. The pods arc 

 very meaty, and with so very little string 

 that they may justly be called stringless. It 

 is remarkably free from rust, and remains a 

 long time without becoming tough. Per pkt. 

 5 cts., pt. 25 cts., qt. 45 cts., pk. $1.25, bu. 

 .$4.50. 



REMEMBER, We pay the postage on 

 beans at these prices. Deduct 15 Cents on 

 each quart if to be sent by express. 



BURPEE'S BUSH LIMA. 



This variety Is universally conceded to oe al- 

 together unique, and the MOST VALUABLE 

 NOVELTY OF THE AGE. It is the first and 

 only true bush form of the luscious large Lima 

 Bean. IT COMES ABSOLUTELY TRUE 

 PROM SEED. The bushes grow eighteen to 

 twenty inches high, of stout growth and always 

 erect, yet branching so vigorously that each 

 plant develops into a magnificent circular bush, 

 from two feet to three feet in diameter. The 

 bush character is thoroughly established. It is 

 an immense yielder, each bush bearing from 50 

 to 200 of the handsome large pods, well filled 

 with very large beans, which are identical In 

 size and LUSCIOUS FLAVOR to the well- 

 known large pole Limas. By the introduction 

 of this most valuable novelty the largest and 

 best Lima Beans can now be raised in quantity 

 at small cost, without the expense and labor at- 

 tached to the use of poles. Plant when soil be- 

 comes warm, in rows 2 feet apart and fully 12 

 inches between the plants. Pinch out the top 

 when about one foot high which will cause 

 plants to branch more. Per pkt. 5 cts., pt. 25 

 cts., at. 50 cts., pk. $1.50. 



HENDERSON'S BUSH LIMA. 



This Bush Lima grows without aid of stakes 

 or poles, in compact bush form, from 15 to 18 in, 

 high, and produces enormous crops of delicious 

 Li7na Beans, which can be as easily gathered 

 as the common garden bush beans. It is at least 

 two weeks earlier than any of the climbing Ll- 

 mos. and produces continuous crop from the 

 time it comes into bearing until frost, and bein^i 

 enormously productive, a very small patch will 

 keep a family supplied with this splendid veg- 

 etable throughout the season. The beans are of 

 the size of the Small Lima, and of the same de- 

 licious quality as the Pole Lima. A fine va- 

 riety for market gardeners. Per pkt. 5 cts., pt. 

 25 cts.. qt. 40 cts., pk. $1.25.
