 on its parent, the Dwarf German Wax.

x Grenell's Improved Rust Proof I 

 (»olden Wax. An improvement on the 

 Dwarf Golden Wax Bean; the seed is [ 

 identically the same in color as that kind. ! 

 The pods are straight, long, and fleshier I 

 than Golden Wax, superior in quality and 

 positively "Rust Proof,*' quite an object i 

 with us here in the South, when we often 

 have rainy weather in the Spring, which is 

 injurious to most wax beans. The origin- 

 ator also claims it to be more prolific and 

 hardier than the ordinary Golden Wax 

 Bean. 



We had this bean thoroughly tried and 

 found it so superior to the ordinarv Golden 

 Wax that we have concluded to drop the 

 last named variety from oar list.*

ctroit or Rttst Proof Wax. This 

 splendid wax bean is of recent introduc- 

 tion, and is very productive and hardy; 

 pods straight, flat and somewhat broader 

 than the Dwarf Golden Wax. The beans 

 when well grown are of a beautiful golden 

 yellow. The originator claims that when 

 tried side by side with the majority of wax 

 beans, it had never "spotted or rusted," 

 while most of the other varieties were un- 

 salable. He claims it to be the best bean 

 for shipping.

 is also sold under the name of "Bis- 

 tnark-' and "Rust Proof Wax." It is 

 very early, an excellent bearer, pods simi- 

 lar in shape to the Wardwell's Dwarf Kid- 

 ney Wax; they are very brittle and of fine 

 flavor. . Not as liable to rust as other kinds. 

 The seeds are of a dark purple color when 

 dried.
