Davis Wax. Without doubt the best 

 white seeded Dwarf Wax Bean in cultiva- 

 tion. The pods are clear waxy white, long, 

 straight aad thick. It is very earlv, pro- 

 ductive and handsome in appearance. The 

 plant is of a sturdy robust habit, which en- 

 ables, it to hold up the pods from coming in 

 contact with the soil. Good for shipping. 

 \ ^V"hite Valentine Beans. Another 

 splendid variety with green pods, round, 

 stringless, succulent and curved in form. 

 Pods reach maturity 35 days after germina- 

 tion. Seeds are white. 



^Refugee Wax. A perfect Extra Early 

 Refugee, with long, round, wax pods of a 

 golden yellow color, and of the finest qual- 

 ity. Bears immense crops, free from rust. 

 P White Wax Bean. A desirable snap 

 bean. Pods are broad, flat, vellow and 



semi-transparent when boiled, and is of a 

 delicate flavor. 

 /Steckler's Original Stock Best of 



[All Beans. (Bush)— We have been for- 

 tunate enough in securing a limited supply 

 of the Original Stock of this well known 

 green snap Bean from Germany. American 

 soil and culture will not reproduce 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 genuine ar- 

 ticle. 



»— 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.

Improved Kentucky Wonder, or 

 d Homestead. This is the earliest of j 

 all green podded pole beans. Enormously 

 productive, bearing its pods in clusters. The 

 pods are long, crisp, tender and bright 

 green in color. A very prolific variety, and 

 one of the best on our list. 



White Sickle Pole Bean. Similar to 

 Kentucky Wonder, except that the dry 

 beans aie white, more slender and curved, 

 and the pods are a little more slender than 

 those of that variety. We think this sort 

 an improvement over the Kentucky Wonder 

 m that it has the advantage of a white seed, 

 and so does not discolor m cooking. It is 

 certainly a splendid variety, and is grown 

 with great success in the Souih where many 

 think h the best Dole bean in cultivation.

Large Lima. A well known and ex- 

 cellent variety. It is the best shell been 

 known. Should have rich ground, and 

 plenty of room to grow. 

 I Carolina or Sewee- A variety similar 

 to the Lima; the only difference is, the 

 seeds and pods are smaller. It is generally 

 cultivated, being more productive than the 

 Large Lima. 



Southern Prolific. No variety will 

 Continue longer to bear than this. It stands 

 the heat of summer better than any other, 

 and is planted to succeed the other kinds. 

 It is a very strong grower; pods about seven 

 inches long and flat; seeds are dark yellow 

 or rather light brown. The standard variety 

 for the New Orleans market for late spring 

 and summer.
