1876. Extended and careful tests have convinced us that none of 

 the so called impi-oved strains is 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 producti\ e, 

 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 this and all parti-colored beans 

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

 Pt. 30c; Qt. 30c; 4 Qts. $1.00; Bu. $6.00

 lYlICnigan VVniie wax ^^^^ p^.^^.^ ^^ exceptional value 

 For years past there has been a constant demand for a white seeded 

 wax bean of the highest quality and we take the utmost satisfac- 

 tion in being able to offer this season this long sought and valuable 

 novelty. Briefly described this is a white seeded D. M.*Ferry & Co s 

 Golden Wax but in several vital features the Michigan White Wax 

 is distinctly superior to that excellent and exceedingly popular \a 

 riety. The vine is a little larger, more robust and vigorous; foliage 

 a little heavier. The handsome pods are produced in greater abun 

 dance and are very uniform in size and color which is a very attrac 

 tive light golden yellow: pods comparatively broad, meaty and of 

 the same superior quality as our Golden Wax. The seed is clear 

 white. This feature alone gives the variety a very decided advan 

 tage over all other early wax podded beans in that as snaps they 

 cook without discoloring and thus are more attractive on the table 

 while as dry beans they are very handsome and quite as useful as 

 any of the staple white beans. We believe canners have never been 

 offered a bean so fully meeting their requirements as to earliness 

 color and splendid quaUty. {See colored plate opposite) . Pkt. 10c;
