Improved Valentine. 



This variety lias all tlie 

 qualities of the old Valen- 

 tine, only it is ten days 

 earlier, a great -considera- 

 tion when planted for the 

 market; it has taken the 

 place of the old variety of 

 Valentine. 



Improved Prolific Dwarf 

 German Wax. This varie- 

 ty is a great improvement 

 on its parent, the Dwarf 

 German Wax. Pods are 

 longer and more produc- 

 tive, with the good quali- 

 ties of the old kind, which 

 was the first Wax Bean 

 introduced here from Ger- 

 liany. 



Grenell's Improved Rust 

 Proof Dwarf Golden Wax. 

 An improvement on the 

 Dv>^arf Golden W^ax Bean; 

 the seed is identically the 

 same color as that kind. 

 The pods are straight, long 

 and fleshier than Golden 

 Wax, superior in quality 

 and positively "Rust 

 Proof," quite an object 

 with us here in the South, 

 when we often have rainy 

 .weather in the spring, 

 which is injurious to most 

 wax beans. The origina- 

 tor also claims it to be 

 more prolific and hardier 

 than the ordinary Golden Wax. 



Wardweil's Dwarf Kidney Wax. Un- 

 doubtedly the best dwarf wax bean in 

 cultivation; it is quite early; the pods 

 are of similar shape to the Golden Wax, 

 but longer; color of a beautiful golden 

 yellow. They are very prolific and hardy. 



Improved vaientine. 



surpassing any other Dwarf Wax that we 

 know of. The color is somewhat like 

 the Golden Wax, but more kidney-shaped 

 and more spotted with dark purple. It 

 has done best here among the Dwarf 

 Wax Beans. Of all the many new kinds 

 we have tried, we found none to excel it.
