very much larger and more 

 showy pod. In quality no va- 

 variety surpasses it; g-ardeners 

 and truckers should give it a 

 thorough trial. 



DWARF FLAGEOLET WAX. 



A German variety which fig- 

 ures as Perfection Wax, also 

 Scarlet Flageolet Wax in some 

 catalogues. It is a robust 

 growing sort with large fine 

 yellow pods. For several years 

 we have tried to introduce it 

 amongst the gardeners who 

 still give the Ward well's Kid- 

 ney the preference. 



DAVIS WAX. — Without a 

 doubt the best white seeded 

 Dwarf Wax Bean in cultiva- 

 tion. The pods are clear waxy 

 white, long, straight and thick. 

 It is very early, productive and 

 handsome in appearance. The 

 plant is of a sturdy robust 

 habit, which enables it to hold 

 up the pods from coming in 

 contact with the soil. Good for 

 shipping. 



LONGFELLOW GREEN 

 PODDED. — An extra early va- 

 riety, of fine quality, an ideal 

 snap bean, a prolific producer 

 of perfectly round, straight, 

 solid, fleshy pods averaging 6% 

 inches long; wonderfully ten- 

 der and brittle, without a 

 trace of tough interlining, and 

 having no string when broken, 

 excepting when the pods are 

 quite old. The flavor is delicious, capti- 

 vating the most critical, while the delicate 

 green color of the pods is retained after 

 cooking, adding to its attractiveness when 

 served. The plants are of robust habit, un- 

 excelled in bearing qualities, maturing the 

 crop very regularly. It is extra early, the 

 pods being fit to pick four days in advance

of any other variety of approximate size 

 and merit. 



KEENEY'S RUSTLESS GOLDEN WAX. 



This is- the long looked for bean, combining 

 hardiness and productiveness with fine 

 quality. A strong growing bush variety of 

 remarkable vigor and freedom from rust. 



BURPEE'S BUSH LIMA.— The pods are 

 of same size as the Large Pole Lima and 

 of same flavor. It is a stronger grower 

 than the Henderson's Bush Lima. 



BLACX VALENTINE.— This variety has 

 all the good qualities of the Improved 

 Valentine and is much earlier, which is a 

 great consideration when planted for the 

 market. It is a bean worthy of being 

 planted in every family garden. 



CURRIE'S RUST PROOF WAX.— This is 

 an early, productive, good bean, having 

 long, flat, yellow pods of fine quality. Foli- 

 age healthy and rust proof* 



THE "BURPEE IMPROVED" BUSH 

 LIMA. — The pods are truly enormous in 

 size — borne abundantly and well filled with 

 handsome beans, which are both larger and 

 thicker than those of the popular Burpee's 

 Bush Lima — and fully eight days earlier. 

 The "Burpee Improved" is a distinct "New 

 Creation" by nature, and not merely an im- 

 proved selection developed by man. It dif- 

 fers from the best strains of Burpee's Bush 

 Lima in having uniformly much larger 

 pods, producing more beans, while both 

 pods and beans are not only larger in size 

 but also considerably thicker. The growth
