 five and one-half to six inches long. Seed long, oval, rounded at ends, medium

w-^ PIT • II J WT ^ 'isw dwarf wax sort of exceptional value 



Uwarr unrivalled Wax on account of its earllness, great productive- 

 ness and extreme hardiness. The vines are large and vigorous with leaves 

 similar to Golden Wax in color and shape but are a little larger. The handsome 

 pods of good quality, boi'ne in abundance well up from the ground, are longer 

 than Golden Wax and a little lighter in color, are rather narrow and somewhat 

 flattened but fleshy, and when in proper condition for use are very attractive on 

 the market. It usually matvires soon after our Golden Wax and is sometimes as 

 early as that variety. AVe have found in our trials that it seems to be hardier 

 and to withstand some unfavorable conditions better than any other wax variety. 

 Seed small, flat, slightly kidney shaped; color ochre-brown. Recommended 

 especially for market gardeners' use. (See ciit in Svppleinent, page U) Pkt. 10c;
