BLACK WAX 



EXTR.A EARLY BEAiN. 



Introduced by us in 1891. 



Continued experience has only 

 strengthened our good opinion 

 of this grand bean, and the en- 

 ormous demand for it proves it 

 meets the poptilar requirements 

 and has all the sterling qualities 

 we claim for it. 



In many comparisons of this 

 bean with other extra early sorts 

 we have always found it to be 



The First to Give a Full Picking 

 of Pods, and Unexcelled in Quality. 



The Best Early Wax Bean 



FOR THE MARKET GARDEN. 



The plants in growth and general api>ear- 



ance resemble the old Black Wax or 



Butter Bean, and are very productive. 



The pods are clear waxy-white.' quite round, 



very fleshy, crisp, tender' and stringless. The 



dry bean is jet black, longer, more curved and 



flatter than the Prolific German Wax.

Golden Wax Bean 



Our Own Original Stock 



Superior to all Others. 



This bean, introduced by us 

 in 1876. still continues 



THE STANDARD WAX VARIETY 



FOR GENERAL USE. 



The popularity of this bean 

 has led to the introduction of 

 several so-called '"Improved 

 Golden Wax " beans which 

 have been sent out with the 

 claim that they were superior 

 to and would soon supplant it 

 in popular favor. Frequent 

 enquiries for our old stock of 

 Golden Wax Bean convinces us 

 that the pubhc have found 

 that these so-called improved strains 

 are not only no improvement but are 

 inferior to the old original D. M. Ferry 

 & Go's Golden Wax which is still im- 

 equaled in sterling good qualities. The 

 pods are long, nearly straight, broad, flat, 

 golden yellow, very fleshy and wax-like, 

 with short, fleshy. "green "point, cooking 

 quickly as snaps, sheUing well when green, 

 and of the highest quality in both condi- 

 tions. Beans medium sized, oval, white, 

 more or less covered with two shades of 

 purphsh red.
