BEANS— Wax or Yellow=Podded Varieties. 



Our continued and exhaustive trials at our experimental grounds with Bush and Pole Beans (green and wax pod sorts) 

 indicate to us that the varieties we catalogue are of the leading types, distinct in character and of equal merit to many of the 

 French, English, German and Ameiican new introductions at fancy prices. 



THE T^VO BEST VARIETIES. 



Valentinr Wax Bean. 



"Valentine Wax. An improved extra early Valentine 

 Bea-n, with round wax pods. It is without exception the 

 earliest Wax Bean, being even earlier than Refugee Wax. 

 The pods are very meaty, and with so very little siring that 

 they may justly be called stringless. It is remarkably free 

 from rust and remains a long time without becoming tough ; 

 specially recommended to market gardeners on account of 

 its heavy cropping qualities. Pkt. 10 cts.; pt. 15 cts,; qt. 

 30 cts.; peck §1.75. 



Early Kefug'ee Wax. A perfect Refugee with wax pods, 

 long, round, of a golden-yellow color. One of the earliest.
