COLE'S GARDEN ANNUAL. 



Keepy'8 Rustless Golden Wax Bern. 



Tho introducer says "this is The long* 

 looked for Bean, combining hardinessraud 

 productiveness with fine quality. 



"A strong-growing bush varietj' of re- 

 markablp. vigor and freedom from rust. \i 

 sends out short tendrils on which pods are 

 formed in addition to those near the central 

 stocir^fjftiie" plant'~which accounts 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 quality, and entirely 

 stringless, even when large enough to shell. 

 If the pods are picked as fast as formed, the 

 plant continues 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 high rank if the 

 claims of the introducers are sustained in 

 its general culture. Another step of great 

 importance will be marked if this new va- 

 riety is found to possess the vigor of growth 

 claimt d for it. 



Price per pkt. lOcts., 3 pkts. 25 cts., pt. 

 40 cts., qt. 75 cts., pk. $3.00. 



DAVIS KIDNEY WAX BEAN. 



Thi.'« new variety conies very highly recommended. Has a large handsome pod containing pure whit» 

 kidney-shaped beans. The plant is vigorous, of compact, upright growth, carrying the 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 areputtins it mild. 



The pods are lonsr, straight, oval, clear, waxy white color and handsome, often growing to a length of 

 seven to eieht 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 shipping 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 recommend 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. 



The largest cropper, the handsomest pod, the hest shipper and market Bean in 

 cultivation. 



Price per pkt. 10 cts., 3 pkts. 25 cts., pt. 40 cts., qt. 75 cts. pk. $3.50. 



One packet each of the three new varieties of Dwarf Beans 

 described on pages 3 and 4 for only 20 cts.
