 POD. — This new bean produces a vine simi- 

 lar to Red Valentine, but develops pods to

PENCIL POD BLACK WAX.— Pencil Pod Black Wax grows a taller, stronger and more vigorous bush 

 than the Improved Prolific Black Wax, which is one of its parents. The other parent is the Round Pod 

 Refugee or Thousand to One, and from this latter source the Pencil Pod Black Wax gets much of its vigor, 

 hardiness and productiveness. Quart, 25c. Peck, $1.75. Bushel, $7.00.
