BEANS-Dwarf, Bush or Snap-Continued

 Detroit Wax 



The verj' hardy, productive, 

 erect growing plants bear 

 their pods near the center of 

 the vine, but occasionally 

 throw a stem above the 

 leaves. Leaves large, dark 

 green ; blossoms small, white; 

 pods straight, fiat, but thick 

 to edge; proportionately 



squently greenish-yellow when young, .\\ 

 of a beautiful golden wax color, and of \\ 

 likely to rust of any, and the fact that \v 



broader than the Golden Wax. They are fre 



but when well grown and fit for use they are 



good quality. We think this variety the least likely to rust of any, and the fact that \] 



seedsmen sometimes ofTer it under other names as absolutely rust-proof, is evidence A i 



that they have found it as nearly rust-proof as any wax bean. When picked at the '- 



same time as Golden Wax and other varieties, it keeps bright and crisp long after the 



others are wilted and unsalable, making it 



ONE OF THE BEST FOR SHIPPING LONG DISTANCES 



It is also one of the very best green shelled beans. The dry beans are white, with a ' 

 patch of chocolate brown about the eye. They are like those of the White Marrow in " 

 shape, and fully as good for baking. Pkt. 10c; Pt. 25c; Qt. 35c; 4Qts. $1.25;

Jones' Stringless Wax 



A White Seeded Variety with Round, Stringless Pods of 

 Unsurpassed Beauty and Quality. 



This is the result of crossing a white seeded sort with the 

 Yosemite, and in it the good qualities of the latter variety are 

 developed to a superlative degree, while its faults of shy .bearing 

 and imperfect pods are eliminated. The Jones' Stringless 

 Wax is wonderfully productive of uniformly well shaped 

 and handsome pods. The plant is exceedingly hardy and 

 rust-proof. It matures the long, round, fleshy, 

 stringless pods very early and ripens its crop of seed ^ 



earlier than the earliest of our field beans. It wiU Ji>^ 

 prove a valuable sort for the farm as well as 

 the garden. Pkt. 15c; Pt. 50c; Qt. 85c

Valentine Wax 



Our experience 

 has proved this 

 Bean to be le- 

 markably early. The pods are thick and fleshy, 

 with but very little string; the plant is vigorous 

 and productive, and it is a popular sort wherever 

 known. Pkt. 10c; Pt. 25c; Qt. 40c;4 Qts. $1.50;

Refugee Wax pecia^"" p^ainf^s^^th 



I -kx^i M^^x/ T ¥ x*^^ ^j^jg variety, which, 

 as we grow it, is one of the very best in culti- 

 vation. The stock we offer is much superior to 

 that commonly sold, being very early. Every 

 plant can be depended upon to produce thick, 

 fleshy, wax-like pods, of fine quality and of a 

 clear, waxy-white color, none of the plants 

 being green-podded. Pkt. 10c; Pt. 25c; Qt. 40c;

ing the pods near the center. Leaves large, thin, dark 

 green. Pods long, straight, proportionately narrow, and 

 rounder than those of the Golden Wax, and of a lighter 

 color. Dry beans medium sized, long, cylindi ical, white, 

 with black spot round the eye. As early as the Golden 

 Wax, but not equal in earliness to the Challenge Black 

 Wax. Pkt. 10c; Pt. 25c; Qt. 40c; 4 Qts. $1.50;

Golden-Eyed Wax 



A popular sort in the South. Desirable for shipping long 

 distances. Flowers white, medium sized. Pods flat, coarse 

 but handsome. Dry beans medium sized, kidney- shaped, 

 somewhat flattened, white with a yellow spot about the eye.

Keciicy's Rustless Golden Wax .. .. 



Early in the season this seems to be a pole bean, but the 

 runners are short and soon become self-supporting. The pods, 

 which are produced in wonderful profusion, are stringless, 

 very white, wax-like and handsome. Pkt. 10c; Pt. 25c;

Ferry & Co's Detroit Wax Bean, 



CURRIE'S 

 RUST'PROOF 



WAX 



• •• 



It has been claimed that this 

 variety is absolutely rust-proof, 

 and we have found it like the 

 Detroit Wax, as nearly rust- 

 pi oof as any good wax podded 

 bean can be. Vine very vigor- 

 ous, hardy and productive. In 

 season the same time as Kidney 

 Wax; dry beans bluish black.

Grenell 

 FustProof Wax 



Vine a little more up- 

 right than the Golden 

 Wax, and the waxy -white 

 pods are more nearly 

 straight and proportion- 

 ately broader than those 

 of that fine variety. A very popular sort with 

 some gardeners. Pkt. 10c; Pt. 25c; Qt. 40c;

Davis Wax 

 This is the most Hardy and Productive 

 Bush, Wax-Podded Bean in Cultivation. 



All of the pods are very long, white, straight and hand- 

 some. The vine is rustless and very vigorous, bearing near 

 the center many clusters, some of which extend above the 

 foliage. When young the pods are very brittle, crisp, and 

 tender. The dry beans are kidney-shaped, clear, white, and 

 excellent for baking. 



ONE OF THE BEST FOR SHIPPING 



AS SNAP BEANS, 

 and of the greatest value for either the market or the home 

 garden. The length, perfect shape and fine color of the pods, 

 and the clear, white seed make this 



One of the Best for CannersJ 



It is just what they want, a long, straight, clear white pod, 

 which does not discolor in canning. Pkt. lOe; Pt. 30c; Qt. 45c.
