GARDEN MANUAL FOR THE SOUTHERN STATES. 



^9 



WABDWi:i.I.'S KIDNEY WAX.— One of 

 the most profitable varieties for the market 

 gardener; especially popular in the South; 

 long-, straight, cream yellow pods of ex- 

 cellent quality; plant medium sized, ma- 

 turing a little later than Golden "^"ax. 

 This splendid variety is now a popular 

 favorite everywhere, not only for shipping, 

 but for the local market and the home. 



HODSON WAX. — 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 Wardwell'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. 



DAVIS WAX. — The pods are clear waxy 



white, long, straight and thick. It is very 

 early, productive and handsome in appear- 

 ance. The plant is of a sturdy robust 

 habit, which enables it to hold up the 

 pods from coming in contact with the soil. 

 Good for shipping. 



KEENEY'S BUSTLESS GOZ.DEN WAX. 



This is the long looked for bean, combining 

 hardiness and productiveness with fine 

 quality. A strong growing bush variety of 

 remarkable vigor and freedom from rust. 



CUBBIE'S RUST FBOOF WAX. — This is 

 an early, productive, good bean, having 

 long, flat, yellow pods of fine quality. Foli- 

 age healthy and rust proof. 



HOPKINS' IMFBOVED VALENTINE.— 



This variety has all the qualities of the old 

 Valentine, only it is 10 days earlier, a 

 great consideration when planted for the 

 market; it has taken the place of the old 

 variety of Valentine. 



F B E N C H MABKET GBEEN POD 

 BUSH. — It has become very popular 

 amongst our New Orleans gardeners, very 

 fine for general use. Pods long, green, 

 perfectly round and smooth; it is as early 

 as the Refugee, but of a grand quality, a 

 good keeper when picked. We recommend 

 it highly for shipping and profitable plant- 

 ing. 



BEST OF AIiD. — Is green podded, long 

 and succulent; very prolific and well 

 flavored. Although not quite so early as 

 the Mohawk, it is of superior quality for 

 shipping. 



EABI.Y MOHAWK SIX WEEKS.— A long 



podded variety, and very hardy. It is used 

 to a great extent for the market for the 

 first planting; very productive. 



IMPROVED PROLIFIC DWARF GER- 

 MAN WAX. — This variety is a great im- 

 provement on its parent, the Dwarf 

 German ^\"ax. Pods are longer and more 

 productive, with the good qualities of the 

 old kind. 



GRENELL'S IMPROVED RUST PROOF 

 DWARF GOLDEN WAX. — An improve- 

 ment on the Dwarf Golden T\'ax Bean; the 

 seed is identically the same color as tliat 

 kind. The pods are straight, long and 

 fleshier than Golden "U'ax, 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. 



ROUND POD KIDNEY WAX.— Brittle 

 wax; long, round, yellow pods, stringless; 

 an exceedingly desirable variety, especially 

 for the table and home market. Growth 

 dwarf, spreading; very productive. 



EARLY YELLOW SIX WEEKS. — Growth 



and maturity very similar to the Mohawk 

 and is a very popular variety in the South; 

 pods long and flat; very productive and 

 ripens about the same time. 



EXTRA EARLY REFUGEE.— Is an im- 

 provement on the well-known old Refugee. 

 Very early and prolific. Owing to its gopd 

 qualities it has become a favorite with the 

 market gardeners for shipping. Pods are 

 round and fleshy. 



BOUNTIFUL. — A broad flat podded vari- 

 ety which is very productive and not 

 likely to rust; it is considered by a great 

 many people to be a very superior bean. 



WHITE KIDNEY. — A good, strong grow- 

 ing variety; should be planted more ex- 

 tensively.
