Currie’s Rust Proof Wax. 
Currie’s Rust Proof Wax. This is an 
early, productive, good bean, having long, 
flat, yellow pods of fine quality. Foliage 
healthy and rust proof. 
Longfellow Green-Podded. An extra 
early variety, of fine quality, an ideal 
snap bean a prolific producer of perfect- 
ly round, straight, solid fleshy pods 
averaging 6% inches long, wonderfully 
tender and brittle, without a trace of 
tough interlining, and having no string 
when broken, excepting when the pods 
are quite old. The flavor is delicious, 
captivating the most critical, while the 
delicate green color of the pods is re- 
tained after cooking, adding to its attrac- 
tiveness when served. The plants are of 
robust habit, unexcelled in bearing quali- 
ties, maturing the crop very regularly. It 
is extra early, the pods being fit to pick 
four days in advance of any other varie- 
ty of approximate size and merit. 
WARDWELLS

FOR 
THE SOUTHERN STATES. 
Round-Pod Kidney Wax. A great im- 
provement over Wardwell’s Kidney Wax 
as it has a true round pod of fully as 
good quality as that flat-podded sort. 
Then, as it is much more hardy and pro- 
duces much better crops, we recommend 
it as one of the finest sorts for the South- 
ern grower, home market or for family 
use. 
Hodson Wax. A new and distinct type 
of wax bean; strong, healthy growth, 
and resists rust and blight to a remark- 
able degree. Remarkably prolific the 
plant being loaded with long, straight 
handsome pods resembling the Ward- 
well’s Kidney Wax, but plumper, 
straighter and longer. The pods are 
brittle, tender, of fine texture and 
splendid flavor. An excellent main crop 
sort for shipping and market, as well as 
for home use. 
Steckler’s Original Stock Best of All. 
A well-known green snap bean from 
Germany. American soil and culture 
will not produce the same variety that is 
grown in the Fatherland. In order to 
make a distinction between the two 
varieties, we have decided to adopt the 
above name, which will be a guarantee 
that our customers will secure the genu- 
ine article. 
Wardwell’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. 
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.
