popularity has led to the introduction of several "Improved" Golden 

 Wax beans which have been sent out with the claim that they were 

 superior sorts. However, extended and careful tests have convinced 

 us that none of these so-called improved strains are equal in general 

 excellence to the seed we offer, which has all been carefully selected 

 and grown from the original D. M. Ferry & Go's Golden Wax. 

 Early, very productive; pods long, nearly straight, broad, 

 flat, golden yellow, very fleshy and wax-like; cooking quickly 

 as snaps, shelling well when green, and of the highest quality 

 used in either way Seed medium sized, oval, white, more or 

 less covered with two shades of purplish red. The amount 

 and shade of color on tliis and all parti-colored beans Avill be 

 affected greatly by conditions of soil and ripening. Pkt. 10c;

Grenell Rust Proof Wax 



Vine a little more upright 

 and hardier than the Gol- 

 den Wax; the pods are broader and flatter but slightly in- 

 ferior in quality. Seed in color and size similar to our Golden 

 Wax but darker. A very popular sort with some gardeners.

son this seems to be a pole bean but the runners are short 

 and soon become self-supporting. The pods, which are pro- 

 duced in abundance, are stringless, white, wax-like 

 and handsome. Seed similar to a light colored Golden 

 Wax. Pkt. 10c; Pt. 20c; (Jt. 30c; 4 Qts. $1.00; Bu. $5.50 



We have taken special pains with 

 this variety which, as we grow it is 

 one of the very best in cultivation. The stock we offer 

 is much superior to that commonly sold, being very early. 

 Every plant can be depended upon to produce thick, 

 fleshy, wax-like pods of fine quality and of a clear, 

 creamy white color, none of the plants being green 

 podded. Seed yellowish drab, heavilv splashed with 

 a bluish black. Pkt. 10c;

ductive and erect growing, bearing their pods near the center of the 

 vine. Pods straight, broad and flat. We think this variety the least 

 likely 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. Seed white with 

 more or less irregular dark brown or black markings aboutthe eye.

sized, very vigorous and hardy. Pods medium length, borne well up 

 from the ground, curved, cylindrical, fleshy and of a clear, creamy 

 white color and remain a long time in condition for use as snaps. 

 Seed 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.
