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



Absolutely Sls-ingless. Very Prolific. Positively free from Rust. 



A STRONG-GROWING bush variety, of remarkable vigor and freedom from rust. It sends out short tendrils, on 

 /jr wnicu P oas ap e 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 

 tc shell. They are also free from that parchment-like lining vhich 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. ; % pt. 12c. ; pt. 20c. ; qt. 35c. 



ROGER'S LIMA WAX. 



We claim for this variety four essential points: (1) Productiveness. (21 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 sumcient for a hill I 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 poda 

 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 ; \' z 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 



V ' 'III voung, the pods are very brittle, crisp and tender. The drv Beans are kidney-shaped, clear white and excellent for 

 1 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 colot 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 discol- 

 or in canning. Pkt. 7c; Vi Pt.
