much appreciated. The pods 

 are creamy yellow, long, broad, flat, brittle and stringless ; Beans 

 kidney-shaped, white, shaded with purplish brown ; vines pro- 

 ductive, strong and upright in growth. Pkt. lo cts., pt. 13 cts., 

 qt. 25 cts., pk. I1.50. 



a Bi-^"B EOKEIlT'S SPECKLED WAX. One of the best 

 Beans, either for home or market-garden. It is a second-early 

 variety, unequaled for a medium or late crop. The pods are clear 

 waxen yellow, cylindrical, averaging 5 or 6 inches in length, 

 stringless, succulent and tender. For productiveness it is un- 

 surpassed. Pkt. 10 cts., pt. 13 cts., qt. 25 cts., pk. $1.50. 



—-^ YOSEMITE WAX. This may be the forerunner of a race 

 of giants among Beans. Its rich, golden yellow pods are 8 or 

 10 inches long and as thick as a finger ; they are quite stringless, 

 and nearly all solid flesh, which cooks to a tender, delicious pulp. 

 Its fine appearance should make this a quick-selling market 

 variety. Pkt. 10 cts., pt. 20 cts., qt. 40 cts., pk. 12,75. 



..^-^DTJRRTE'S RUST-PROOF AVAX. A valuable Bean, 

 from the fact that it seems to be "rust proof" after having been 

 tested for several years with other Beans which rusted badly. 

 Pkt. 10 cts , pt. 13 cts., qt. 25 cts., pk. $1.50. 



BEANS, Dwarf or Bush. 



EANS are among our most valuable farinaceous foods, and form a market staple 

 everywhere. The seeds should not be planted before the ground becomes light and 

 warm, in favorable seasons usually about the first of May. Bush Limas should not 

 be planted so early as other sorts, as Limas are particularly sensitive to cold and 

 damp. The soil should be rich and mellow, and the seeds scattered about 3 inches 

 apart in drills from 3 to 35-2 inches apart, and covered about 2 inches deep. The 

 plants will need frequent hoeings, but should never be cultivated when the leaves 

 are wet with dew or rain, as this will cause them to rust. Successive sowings made 

 at intervals of about 2 weeks until the middle of July will give a plentiful supply 

 of Beans throughout the season. One quart of seed will sow 100 feet of drill; 

 2 bushels will sow an acre. 

 For Beans sent by mail, add postage at the rate of 8 cts. per pint, 15 cts. per quart.

WAX, or YEI^I^OW-PODUED VARIETIES. 



KEENEY'S RUSTLESS GOLDEN WAX. A very vigorous Bush Bean. The pods are long, 

 of a rich golden yellow color, meaty and well filled, thick, flat when young, and semi-round when 

 developed. _ They are quite stringless, very prolific, of fine quality, and do not rust. The plant puts forth 

 short tendrils, on which pods are formed in addition to those near the central stalk of the plant, which 

 accounts for its productiveness, amounting, under flavorable conditions, to as much as 100 to 150 fold. 

 If tjle pods are picked as fast as developed, they will continue producing for a long time. Pkt. 10 cts., 

 pt/20 cts., qt. 40 cts., pk. $2.75. v-^ V V ^ V V V v ^

3s~NEW VALENTINE WAX BEAN. In all respects similar to the Improved Valentine, ficm 

 which it originates, except that its pods are yellow. The pods are very meaty, and with so very little 

 string tjiat they may justly be called stringless. Certainly no other Bean has less string or less hard shell 

 to the pod as long as it is in suitable state for cooking. It is extremely early and productive, and excel- 

 lent in quality, remarkably free from rust, and remains a long time without getting tough. Pkt. 10 cts. 

 pt. 18 cts. , qt. 35 cts. , pk. $2.50. 



- -IMPERIAL WAX. Offered for the first time. Pods long, broad and straight, of beautiful waxy 

 color, with fine texture and flavor. Season medium early; growth vigorous, pods borne well up from the 

 ground. In this Bean we have the large handsome pods found in the Flageolet class, with a healthy vine 

 showing no signs of rust. Pkt. 10 cts., pt. 20 cts., qt. 40 cts., pk. $2.75. 

 _«r GOLDEN WAX. (Original strain.) A very popular variety, more generally cultivated than any 

 other sort, and in our trials it has proved itself superior in all respects to the so-called Improved Golden 

 Wa.x. Finer pods, better color and more tender. The vines are hardy, productive ; pods long, straight, 

 flatfish, very fleshy and wax-like, and of the best quality. The Beans are small, oval, white, shaded with 

 purplish red. Pkt. 10 cts., pt. 13 cts., qt. 25 cts., pk. $1.50. 



"TJOLDEN-EYED WAX. This variety is as remarkable for its beauty of pod, vine and manner of 

 growth as for its freedom from rust and blight. The plant is rapid and vigorous in growth, yielding an 

 early and abundant crop of beautiful golden yellow pods. The plants grow about i % feet high, and by 

 their strong, upright habit hold their heavy crop of '°' 

 pods well above the ground, so that thev are always 

 clean and attractive. Pkt. 10 cts., pt. i^c.
