BucKbee's New Ru st-Proof G olden-Eyed Wax. 



Absolut«ly Stringless. Very Prolific. Positively Free From Rust. 



A strong growing bush variety of remarkable vigor and free- 

 dom 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 tine quality, and entirely stringless, even when 

 old enough to shell. They are also free from that parchment-like 

 lining which makes many varie- 

 ties 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. J^pt. 15c; pt. 35c;

DAVIS WAX. 



New 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 pro- 



duc.tive, with a longer, whiter, 



more fleshy pod. Vines medium- 

 size, very vigorous and hardj'. 

 Flowers reddish-white or purple. 



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. )4 P*-

New Flageolet Wax Improved White Wax or Butter 



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 bak- 

 ing. 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 color of the 

 pods, 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 discolor in canning.

ROGER'S LIMA WAX. 



The pods are very broad and flat and of most excellent rich 

 quality. The plant is branching and vigorous, with an immense 

 amount of foliage, pods are borne in the greatest profusion, often a 

 single plant having fifty or more pods. The pods form in clusters 

 and sink beneath the denae foliage, which shields them from light 

 showers, heavy dews and hot sun, which is a protection against 

 their spotting or rusting and becoming soiled as compared with 

 othersorts. "rhey require thin planting (two beansbeing sufficient 

 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. We claim for this variety four essential 

 points— (1) Productiveness, (2) Handsome Color and Tender Pods, 

 (?,) Delicious Flavor, (4) White Seeded and will make an Excellent 

 Dry Bean for Baking. Owing to its tenderness, fine quality and 

 delicious flavor it cannot help but please those who want the best.

....Valentine Wax.... 



An Improved Extra Early Valentine 

 bean, with round wax pods. A striking 

 acquisition has been obtained in the 

 list of wax beans through the introduc- 

 tion of this variety. Up till now there 

 has been no variety of such prominence 

 among wax beans that could compare 

 with that of the Valentine among 

 green beans. We now have an excel- 

 lent wax-podded variety possessing iu 

 a remarkable degree the excellent fea- 

 tures of this sort. It is very early for a 

 wax bean. A planting made on June 

 12th gave us a fair picking by July 28th 

 — 46 days. Its value as a shipper re- 

 mains to be proved, but it is very ten- 

 der, and almost without string; in fact, 

 the pod is free from any toughness 

 whatever, but is remakably solid 

 throughout. It is handsome in appear- 

 ance, and while it is fair to say that we 

 have not seen it exposed to conditions 

 conducive to the development of rust, 

 t we think it will prove to be almost 

 tless. Vt pt. 15e; pt. 25c; qt. 40c.
