BUCKBEE'S NEW RUST-PROOF GOLDEN-EYED WAX. 



Absolutely Stringless. Very Prolific. Positively free from Rust. 



ASTRONG-GROWIXG bush variety, of remarkable vigor and freedom from rust. It sends out short tendrils, on 

 which pods are formed, in- addition to those near the central stalk of the plant, which accounts for its wonderful 

 productiveness, amounting, under favorable conditions, to 100-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 old enough 

 to shell. They are also free from that parchment-like lining which makes many varieties tough, unless when very 

 young. If the pods are picked as fast as formed, the plant continues to furnish a bountiful supply for a long season.

NEW EARLY PROLIFIC GERMAN, OR IMPROVED BLACK WAX. 



We are so thoroughly satisfied with this improved strain of Black Wax that we have discarded the old stock 

 altogether, this being more vigorous and far more productive, with a longer, whiter, more fleshy pod. Vines medium 

 size, very vigorous and hardy. Flowers reddish-white or purple. 



Best Early Black Wax Bean for the Market Gardener — Pods medium length, borne well up among the foliage, 

 curved, cylindrical, fleshy, and of a clear, waxy-white color, with long, slightly curved point; remain a long time In 

 condition for use as snaps. Beans small, oblong, jet black. No one can afford to plant the old Black Wax or Butter 

 Bean, as this is much better in every respect. Pkt. 7c. ; l / z pt. 12c. ; pt. 20c. ; qt. 35c 



ROGER'S LIMA WAX. 



We claim for this variety four essential points: (1) Productiveness, (2) Handsome Color and Tender Pods, (3) 

 Delicious Flavor, (4) White Seeded and will make an Excellent Dry Bean for Baking. They require thin planting (two 

 beans being sufheient for a hill) on very rich soil, and will run true and not sport. The pods are the broadest of all 

 Wax Bush Beans; color transparent, glossy lemon wax, having the yellow waxy appearance very soon after the pods 

 are formed. When picked, will retain their bright, attractive appearance for a long time, and will not become tough. 

 Quality very tender, juicy, and flavor delicate, delicious. Seed small, oval, pure white, which is much in their favor 

 compared with a colored bean. Owing to its tenderness, fine quality and delicious flavor, it cannot help but please 

 those who want the best. Pkt. 8c; % pt. 15c; pt. 25c; qt. 40c 



DAVIS WAX. 



An exceptionally Hardy, Productive, White-Seeded, Wax-Podded Sort — All of the pods are very long, white, 

 straight and handsome. This is the most hardy and productive bush, wax-podded Bean in cultivation. The vine is 

 rustless and very vigorous, bearing near the center many clusters, some of which extend above the foliage. When 

 young, the pods are very brittle, crisp and tender. The dry Beans are kidney-shaped, clear white and excellent for 

 baking. One of the best of all for shipping as snap Beans, and one of the greatest value for either the market or home 

 garden. The perfect shape and fine eoloi of the poos, and the clear white seed make this one of the best sorts for 

 canners. It is just what they 

 want — a long, straight,' clear 

 white pod, which does not discol. 

 or in canning. Pkt. 7c; V» Pt

NEW VALENTINE WAX. 



An improved extra early Valen. 

 tine Bean, with round wax pods. 

 A striking acquisition has been 

 obtained in the list of Wax 

 Beans through the introduction of 

 has been no variety of such 

 Uas been no variety of such 

 prominence among Wax Beans 

 that could compare with that of 

 the Valentine among green Beans. 

 We now have an excellent wax- 

 podded variety possessing, in a 

 remarkable degree, the excellent 

 features of this sort. It is very 

 early for a Wax Bean. A Grand, 

 Good Bean. A planting made 

 June 12 gave us a fair picking 

 by July 2S — 46 days. Its value 

 as a shipper has been proven. 

 It is very tender, and almost 

 without strtag; in fact, the pod 

 is free from any toughness what- 

 ever, but Is remarkably solid 

 throughout. It is handsome In 

 appearance, and so far we have 

 found it perfectly rust proof. You 

 will be pleased with it. Pkt.
