Davis Wax 



An Exceedingly 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 pod- 

 ded bean in cultivation. The vine is 

 rustless and very vigorous, bearing near 

 the center many clusters, some of which 

 extend above the foliage. When young, 

 the pods are very brittle, crisp and ten- 

 der. The dry beans are kidney -shaped, 

 clear white and excellent for baking. 



One of the best of all for shipping as 

 snap beans and of the greatest value for 

 either the market or home garden. The 

 perfect shape and fine color of the pods, 

 and the clear white seed make this 



The Best Bean 

 for Canners 



is Just What They Want, a Long, Straight, Clear White Pod, 

 Which Does not Discolor in Canning. 

 The Davis Wax Bean Wili Yield More Profit to 

 Practical Market Gardeners Than Any Other Sort.

VALENTINE WAX. This variety was introduced in 1895, 

 as the earhest of wax beans, and our experience is that it is 

 remarkably early. The pods are thick and fleshy, with but 

 very little string; the plant is vigorous and productive, and it 

 promises to become a popular sort. Pkt. 10c; Pt. 16c; Qt. 

 20c; 4Qts. 60c; Bushel $3.75 



REFUGEE WAX. We have taken especial pains with this 

 variety, which, as we grow it, is one of the very best in culti- 

 vation. The stock which we offer is much superior to that 

 commonly sold, and every plant can be depended upon to 

 produce thick, fleshy, wax-like pods, of fine quality and of a 

 clear, waxy-white color, there being none of the green-podded 

 plants so abundant in other stocks of the sort. Pkt. 10c; 

 Pt. 15c; Qt. 20c; 4 Qts. 60c; Bushel $3.50 



BLACK=EYED WAX. vines medium sized, erect, bearing 

 the pods near the center. Leaves large, thin, dark green. 

 Pods long, straight, proportionately narrow, and rovmder 

 than those of the Golden Wax, and of a lighter color, with a 

 mediima length, light green point. They cook quickly, both 

 as snap and as shell beans. Dry beans meditmi sized, long, 

 cylindrical, white, with black spot around the eye. As early 

 as the Golden "Wax, of very good quahty, but not equal in 

 earliness to the Challenge Black Wax. Pkt. 10c; Pt. 15c; 

 Qt. 20c; 4 Qts. 60c; Bushel $3.25 



GRENELL RUST PROOF WAX. vine a little more upright than 

 the Golden Wax, and the waxy- white pods are more nearly straight 

 and proportionately broader than those of that fine variety. A very popular sort with some 

 gardeners. Pkt. 10c; Pt. 15c; Qt. 20c; 4 Qts. 60c; Bushel $3.25 



KEENEY'S RUSTLESS GOLDEN WAX. Early in the season this seems to be a pole bean, 

 but the runners are short and soon become self-supporting. The pods, which are produced m 

 wonderful profusion, are stringless, very white, wax-like and handsome. Pkt. 10c; Pt. 15c; 

 Qt. 20c; 4 Qts. 60c; Bushel $3.75
