Novelties and Specialties 



Beans — Michigan White Wax 



This splendid variety may be briefly described as a white seeded Golden Wax. It is one of the earliest of 

 the dwarf, snap beans. The vines are very vigorous and unusually productive. The pods are golden yellow, 

 fully as attractive as our well known Golden Wax and of the same exceptionally fine quality. The seed is 

 white, a most valuable feature heretofore unattained in a bush bean of highest quality. {See cut and further 

 description, page 22) pkt. 15c; Lb. 65c; 2 Lbs. $1.20 postpaid; 100 Lbs. $45.00 



Beans^^ — Baldwin Wonder Wax 



This variety is a most prolific, wax podded pole sort of excellent quality for snaps for the home garden. 

 The vines are hardy and vigorous in growth, and when in condition for use as snaps the pods are very long, 

 about seven inches, uniformly cylindrical, exceptionally brittle and stringless. The color is a very attractive 

 light yellow. We consider Baldwin Wonder Wax the most desirable bean of its class yet introduced. {See

Beans — Detroit Mammoth Lima 



This new pole lima bean which we offered last year for the first time is the result of many years of careful 

 selection and is entirely distinct from any other variety we have ever tried. The mammoth pods are nine to 

 eleven inches long, medium dark green in color 

 and contain five to seven beans of the most ex- 

 cellent quality. It comes into bearing medium 

 early and the vines which are vigorous and 

 strong growing are exceptionally productive. 

 A variety of distinctive merit for the home 

 garden. {See further description^ p^g^ -?/)

Beet — Detroit Dark Red 



We believe this is the best beet for the market 

 and home garden, and on account of its uniform- 

 ly deep rich color the most desirable for canning. 

 The tops are small and upright in growth. The 

 leaves are dark green, shaded with red. The 

 root is medium sized, globular or nearly round, 

 very smooth and of dark blood red color. The 

 flesh is deep vermilion-red, zoned with darker 

 shade. Careful comparisons with all the prom- 

 inent varieties on the market in this country 

 and in Europe prove that the Detroit Dark Red 

 Beet is the most uniform in shape and size and 

 the most attractive in color. It is unsurpassed 

 in quality. {See cut on this page and further

Corn — Charlevoix 



The many favorable reports we have had on 

 this variety during the past season confirm our 

 opinion that it is the most valuable addition to 

 our list of sweet corn in several years. This 

 variety was originated at Charlevoix, Michigan, 

 where it has been grown and selected for over 

 fifteen years by one of the best gardeners in the 

 state. The ears are about seven inches long, 

 usually twelve rowed, and when in condition 

 for use are deep creamy yellow in color. The 

 grain is rather short, very sweet and tender and 

 is unsurpassed in quality. In season it is about 

 the same as Barly Minnesota but remains in 

 condition for use longer than most of the early 

 or intermediate sorts. An excellent sort both 

 for the home or market garden. 



We recommend a trial of this new variety; 

 you are sure to be pleased with it. {See illus-
