BEANS, DWARF OR BUSH. 



BURPEE'S SADDLE-BACK WAX.— Absolutely the finest in 

 quality of all Dwarf Wax Beans — fleshy pods as thick as they are 

 wide and entirely stringless. This unsurpassed variety originated 

 with Messrs. N. B. Keeney & Sons, Genesee Co., N. Y., the largest 

 growers of Seed-beans in the world, who gave it the name — Burpee's 

 Saddle-back Wax. It is a cross between Yosemite Mammoth 

 Wax and the Black-eyed Wax, and inherits the best qualities of both 

 parents. For description, Messrs. Keeney & Sons say : " The pod is 

 large, long, straight, round and very full of meat and is absolutely 

 stringless. The growth of the bush is vigorous, the foliage being suf- 

 ficiently profuse to cover the ground in such a manner as to shade it 

 and keep it moist, hence this variety is not liable to suffer severely, as 

 do many other varieties, in a dry season. It is a very profuse bearer, 

 the plants in ordinary field culture usually bearing from 25 to 40 pods 

 each. * * * * When the pods are broken between the Beans 

 there is no open space — the p>ds being completely filled with meat, 

 and can be sliced like a Cucumber without showing any hollow 

 sMces." This brief description will plainly show the many valuable 

 points of merit embraced in this New Dwarf Wax Bean. Our stock 

 of seed is direct from the introducer. Per pkt., 15 cts.; 2 pkts., 25 cts.;
