 L I Hvfl I ff n/1 ^ pods straight, flat, but thick to edge; dis- 

 tinctly broader than the Golden Wax. They 

 are frequently greenish yellow when young, but when well grown and fit for use 

 they are of a beautiful golden wax color, and of good quaUty. 



We think this variety the least liable to rust of any, and the fact that 

 Seedsmen sometimes offer it under other names as absolutely rust-proof, 

 is evidence that they have found it as nearly rust-proof as any wax bean. 

 When picked at the same time as Golden Wax and other varieties, it keeps bright 

 and crisp long after the others are wilted and unsalable, making it one of the best for 

 shipping long distances. It is also one of the verj^ best green shelled beans. The dry 

 beans are white, with a pat€h of chocolate brown about the eye. They are like those 

 of the White Marrow in shape, and fully as good for baking. Pkt. 10c; Pt. 15c;

CURRIE'S RUST=PROOF WAX. it has been 

 claimed that this variety is absolutely rust-proof, and 

 we have found it like the Detroit Wax, as nearly rust- 

 proof as any good wax podded bean can be. Vine 

 very vigorous, hardy and productive, about the sea- 

 son of Kidney Wax; dry beans bluish-black.

GOLDEN=EYED WAX. a hardy, large 



growing, productive variety, with flat, rather 

 coarse pods which become stringy as they 

 come to full size. A popular sort at the South, 

 but inferior to our Davis Wax, and only 

 desirable for shipping long distances. 

 Flowers white, medium sized. Dry beans 

 medium sized, kidney-shaped, somewhat 

 flattened, white with a yellow spot about 

 the eye. Pkt. lOcj Pt. 15c; Qt. 20c;

GERMAN WAX, WHITE SEEDED. 



Vines small, erect, with large, light-colored leaves, and white blossoms. 

 Pods short, broad, flat, white, fleshy and wax-like, of medium quahty. but very 

 handsome. Beans mediimi sized, oval, white. We have developed a strain of this 

 variety quite free from green pods usually found in this sort. Pkt. 10c: Pt. loc*

ROUiriG GERMAIN WAX 



BLACK SEEDED We are so thoroughly satisfied with 



this improved strain of Black Wax that we have discarded the old stock alto- 

 gether, this being more vigorous and far more productive, with a longer, whiter, 

 more fleshy pod. Vines medium-sized, 

 ver7 vigorous and hardy. Flowers 

 reddish-white or pvuple. Pods medium 

 length, borne well up among the foU- 

 age. curved, cylindrical, thick, fleshy. 

 and of a clear, waxy-white color, with 

 long, slightly curved point; remain a 

 long time in condition for use as snaps. 



Beans small, oblong, jet black. No 



one can afford to plant the old 



Black Wax or Butter Bean, as this 



is much better in every respect.

...KIDNEY WAX 



The very strong growing vines of this variety yield a large crop of 

 long, nearly straight, very white, wax-hke, handsome pods, which are of 

 good quality and always command a ready sale, making this one of the 

 most profitable varieties for the Market Gardener. It matures about the 

 same time as the Golden Wax, and the dry beans are large, kidney- 

 shaped, white with dark markings about the eye. Pkt. 10c; Pt. 15c;

Speckled Wax . . 



^. , ^ ^ This is the best of the late wax podded beans. 



Vmes large, much branched, upright, extremely hardy, vigorous, and 

 peat producers: leaves large and coarse, resembling Kidnev Wax. Pods 

 long, cylindrical, crisp, tender, stringless. and of a clear, vellowish, 

 waxy-white color. As the beans mature they are excellent to use green 

 sbelied. Dry beans, medium sized to large, long, straight, cylindrical: 

 color light brown, mottled and striped with chocolate brown. Pkt. 10c;
