Extra Early Refugee. Is an 



improvement on the well-known 

 old Refugee. Very early and 

 prolific. Owing to its good 

 qualities it has become a favor- 

 ite with market gardeners for 

 shipping. Pods round and fleshy. 



Dvyarf Flageolet Wax. A Ger- 

 man variety which figures as 

 Perfection Wax, also Scarlet 

 Flageolet Wax in some cata- 

 logues. It is a robust growing 

 sort with large fine yellow pods. 

 For several years we have tried 

 to introduce it amongst the 

 gardeners who still give the 

 Warden's Kidney the preference. 



Bountiful. A broad flat pod- 

 ded variety v/hich is very 

 productive and not likely to rust; 

 it is considered by a great many 

 people to be a very superior 

 bean.

Extra Early Refugee. 



Pride of Newton. This 

 is a robust, strong grow-

 green. It is quite early

 is similar to the Yellow 

 Six Wrecks in color, but 

 much hardier.

 A long podded variety, and 

 very hardy. It is used to a 

 large extent for the market 

 for the fi.rst planting; very 

 productive. 



Early Yellow 6 Weeks. 

 This is the most popular 

 sort among market garden- 

 ers. Pods flat and long; a 

 very good bearer, but not 

 so good for shippmg as 

 the Mohawk or Valentine. 



Detroit or Rust Proof

 flat and somewhat broader 

 ttan the Dwarf Golden 

 Wax. The beans, when 

 well grown, are of a beau-

 originator claims that 

 when tried sMe by side 

 with the majority of wax 

 beans, it had never "spot- 

 ted or rusted," while most 

 of the other varieties were 

 unsalable. Fe claims it to 

 be the best bean for ship- 

 ping.
