No. 30 — Improved Golden Wax 



Days to Maturity, 40. Selection of Golden Wax by W. H. Grinell, 

 and introduced about 1884. This improved variety differs from the 

 old Golden Wax in that the pods are slightly stouter, flatter, 

 straighter and longer-pointed, the dry seeds being marked with 

 brownish spots rather than purple. The season is about the same. 

 The plant will develop to about twelve inches in height. The pods 

 are five to six seeded, stringless and of very fair quality. The pick- 

 ing season is rather short. A recommended variety for home or 

 market garden. Pkt. 10c, Y 2 pt. 25c, pt. 45c, qt. 80c, Yi pk. $3.00,

 KIDNEY WAX

No. 32 — Currie's Rust-Proof Wax 



Days to Maturity, 40. Originated near Milwaukee, and said to be a sport from Golden 

 Wax, introduced by Currie Brothers in 1889. At the present time it is one of the most 

 largely grown wax beans for all general purposes. The plant reaches a height of about 

 fourteen inches. The pods are about six inches long, very straight, flat-oval in cross section, 

 uniformly six-seeded, bright yellow in color, decidedly stringy, coarse-grained and of 

 rather poor quality. As is the case of the Wardwell's Kidney Wax, this bean is susceptible 

 to anthracnose. For the above reasons it is not recommended for home garden planting.

No. 34— Davis White Wax 



Days to Maturity, 40. Originated by Mr. Eugene Davis, of Grand Rapids, and intro- 

 duced to the trade generally in 1895. This bean resembles the Currie's Rust-Proof more 

 than any other variety. The plants attain a height of about fifteen inches, and are quite 

 susceptible to disease. Pods are seven inches long, very unif ormly straight, flat, six or seven- 

 seeded, clear, bright yellow color, stringy, fibrous and of fair quality, but very attractive. 

 This is primarily a market variety, but if gathered while young would, no doubt, prove satis- 

 factory for the home garden. Pkt. 10c, Yi pt. 25c, pt. 45c, qt. 80c, Y 2 pk. $3.00, postpaid. 



No. 40— Pencil Pod Black Wax 



Days to Maturity, 45. A selection of Black Wax improved by N. B. Keeney & Son, 

 and introduced by Johnson & Stokes in 1900. The plant will attain a height of fourteen 

 inches, but is a vigorous grower, and is not susceptible to disease as other wax-podded 

 sorts. The pods attain a length of six inches, are slender, curved near the tip, rounded, 

 seven-seeded, very clear yellow, absolutely stringless, very brittle, fine-grained and of excellent 

 quality. This variety is highly recommended for all purposes where the quality of the edible 

 product is a consideration. Pkt. 10c, Yi pt. 25c, pt. 45c, qt. 80c, Yi pk. $3.00, postpaid.
