EVERYTHING FOR THE GARDEN— Vegetable Seeds 



BUSH BEANS 



WAX PODDED 

 Hodson Long Pod Wax 



Enormous Yielder. Never Affected by Rust or Blight 



CQ The strong, sturdy plants often attain dimensions 

 214 feet in height, and bear great quantities of 

 long, meaty pods, measuring 7 to 8 inches in length 

 and of a waxy cream-yellow color. The ample foliage 

 sheltering the pods from the hot sun renders them ex- 

 ceptionally tender, brittle, and if picked before too old they 

 are stringless, free from fibre and of fine table quality. 

 This variety is remarkably free from bean diseases. 

 Not a trace of rust, blight or mildew has ever appeared 

 on a plant or pod in our trial grounds or fields during 

 the years we have been growing it". The Hodson Long 

 Pod Wax comes in about two weeks after the earliest 

 dwarf varieties, but for main crop it is desired for both 

 the private table and for market growers on account 

 of its phenomena] vigor and productiveness. The 

 plants should be thinned out to at least 6 inches apart. 

 (See illustration.) Price, pkt. 10c.; pt. 45c.; qt. 

 85c.; 4 qts. $3.00; peck $5.50; transportation paid. 



Golden Age Wax 



The Best Stringless Wax Bean Grown 



Illustrated in Colors on page 35 

 AA Besides being absolutely stringless Golden Age is remarkable for 

 its rust resisting and disease resisting qualities. The plants art 

 vigorous in growth and bear heavy crops of almost transparent tender 

 golden waxy pods. Ready to pick in 45 days from planting. Price, 

 pkt. 20c.; pt. 90c.; qt. $1.75; transportation paid. 



Unrivaled Wax 



The Earliest Wax Podded Variety Grown. Creamy Yellow Wax 

 Pods Without Rust. Symmetrical Shape. Attractive Color. 



CC It bears an enormous crop of pods of a most beautiful semi- 

 transparent pale yellow color. This color is maintained clear to 

 the tips without any suggestion of green. The pods are about six inches 

 long and almost straight, but with the valuable characteristic of curving 

 slightly at the ends toward maturity, thus avoiding contact with the 

 ground, and preventing liability to rust and rot, also preserving intact 

 the natural beauty of the pod. 



It is above all else the earliest Wax Bean within our knowledge. We 

 have found it two days earlier than any other in our trials, which alone 

 renders it extremely valuable. The color develops very early in the 

 growth of the pods, -which remain tender for a long period. The flavor 

 is excellent, and both plant and pod are singularly free from rust and 

 blight. (See illustration.) Price, pkt. 15c.; pt. 45c.; qt. 85c.; 4 qts. 

 $3.00; peck $5.50; transportation paid. 



Sure Crop Stringless Wax 



Clear Amber Yellow Stringless Pods 



CC This variety is well adapted for market garden purposes because 

 of its vigorous growth, productiveness and hardiness. Pods are 

 rich yellow, 6 to 7 inches long, entirely stringless at all stages of develop- 

 ment. Price, pkt. 10c; pt. 45c.; qt. 85c.; 4 qts. $3.00; peck 

 $5.50; transportation paid. 



Henderson's Improved Black Wax 



OC One of the oldest varieties grown, which by constant selection 

 has been so greatly improved that it compares favorably in every 

 respect with many of the newer sorts. The dwarf bushy plants bear a 

 heavy crop of creamy yellow pods, medium in length, quite round, 

 slightly curved, very thick flesh, and tender. It is a vigorous grower 

 with ample foliage sheltering the pods so they are uniformly trans- 

 lucent. Black Wax is very early, enormously productive and of fine 

 quality, and one of the most reliable sorts. Price, pkt. 10c.; pt. 

 45c.; qt. 85c.; 4 qts. $3.00; peck $5.50; transportation paid. 



Davis Kidney Wax 



A\ The pods are very uniform in size, flat and very long. Light yellow 



color. A very popular market garden variety. Price, pkt. 10c.; 



pt. 40c.; qt. 75c.; 4 qts. $2.50; peck $4.75; transportation paid. 



Wardwell's Kidney Wax 



CQ One of the best large podded wax beans. Very robust and hardy, 

 producing heavy crops of broad, long, flat waxen pods, not 

 liable to rust or blister. Price, pkt. 10c.; pt. 40c; qt. 75c; 4 qts. 

 $2.50; peck $4.75; transportation paid. 



Semesan, the new plant disinfectant, has proven very efficacious in controlling anthracnose of beans and other fungous diseases.
