IMPROVED 



GOLDEN WAX 



BUSH BEAN. 



The Standard Flat, Wax=Podded Variety. 



""THE Golden Wax has long been in popular 

 * favor, but this improved variety by far 

 surpasses the old favorite in several desirable 

 points. The plants are of vigorous, bushy 

 growth, not susceptible to rust, moderately 

 early and very prolific. The pods are ex- 

 ceedingly handsome, large, uniformly broad, 

 thick, and almost all solid flesh, of good qual- 

 ity, tender and brittle, absolutely without 

 string or coarse fibre at all stages until ma- 

 turity, while the color is of a rich golden- 

 yellow. Although not the earliest dwarf wax 

 bean, its reliability in producing a heavy 

 crop of large handsome pods, whether sown 

 in spring, summer or early fall, renders it 

 highly valuable for market planting. (See 

 cut.) 



Price, 30c. quart, $2.00 peck, $7.50 bushel. 



REFUGEE WAX 



Bush Bean. 



Possesses the valuable characteristics of the 

 green-podded Refugee, with the added value 

 of being wax-podded and of great productive- 

 ness; practically everbearing. Pods hand- 

 some, round, transparent yellow, remaining 

 tender long. A great drought and rust re- 

 sister. 



Price, 30c. quart, $1.85 peck, $7.00 bush. 



Henderson's Market Wax Bush Bean. 



A Mammoth Flat Wax=Podded Kidney Bush Bean. 



HIS grand acquisition we think will entirely displace other flat-podded wax 

 beans. The plants are unusually robust, with luxuriant, healthy foliage, re- 

 sisting disease and unfavorable weather, and, whether sown early, midseason or 

 late, invariably produce in greatest abundance the largest and handsomest waxy, 

 golden-yellow pods we have ever seen. They are of immense size, nearly six inches 

 in length, and of great breadth, entirely free from green tips. The quality, unlike 

 some varieties of similar type, is fully equal to that of the smaller podded 

 dvvarf wax beans, and the pods, though flat, are thick, meaty, very tender, 

 entirely stringless even when approaching maturity, and of mild, fine 

 flavor. It is very early for so large a sort, rendering it of especial 

 value as a market bean. This new bean is not only desirable as an 

 edible wax-podded snap bean, but is also valuable as a shell bean. 

 (See cut.) 

 Price, 35c. quart, $2.25 peck, $8.00 bushel. 



Henderson's Improved Black Wax Bush Bean. 



An Extra Early Cylinder=Podded Variety. 



his is a highly improved stock of the popular Black 

 Wax. The plants are of robust though compact, 

 . bushy habit, with ample foliage, which completely 

 ^i shelters the pods from the effects of the sun, so 

 that they are always of a uniform, waxy, 

 yellow color. The pods are of good size, quite 

 round, usually curved, very solid, meaty and free 

 from string; of excellent, tender quality. It is 

 very prolific and one of the earliest wax- 

 podded dwarf beans grown. It has a 

 special value as a market variety, in the 

 fact that it "stands up" admirably and 

 \ may always be relied on to present 

 ~."\ a good appearance in the crate 

 Price, 

 30c. quart, $1.90 peck, 

 $7.00 bushel.
