IMPROVED BLACK WAX 



The Best Round Podded Wax Sort- 

 This is our improved sort of the old Black 

 Wax, but so superior to other stocks as to be 

 worthy of a distinctive name. It is much earlier 

 than tiie ordinary stocks, and produces larger and 

 much rounder pods, a flat one is very rarely seen. 

 By constant selection we have kept it so pure 

 that we venture to say there is no round podded 

 wax bean to compare with it to-day, whether 

 judged by earliness, size, uniformity of pod or 

 productiveness. 25c. qt., $i-5opecti $5.00 bush. 



Henderson's Bush Lima- 



Is extremely early, coming in from two to 

 three weeks ahead of any of the Pole Umas, thus 

 supplying us with a delicious vegetable at a time 

 when the garden is somewhat bare, filling in, as 

 it does, the gap between Peas and tbe Pole Limas. 

 Henderson's Bush Lima is enormously pro- 

 ductive, bearing continuously ihioughout the 

 summer unMl killed by the frost. 35c. qt., 

 $2 25 peck, $7.50 bushel. 



IMPROVED "HENDERSON" BUSH LIMA. 



As early and as prolific as the original Hender- 

 son, but the shelled bean is fully one-third larger, 

 overcoming the objection raised by some people 

 that it was too small as a market variety. We 

 have in this Improved Henderson, the earliest and 

 most prolific Bush Lima knowr , at the same time 

 its size commends it to the market gardener. Its 

 general characteristics are hardiness, productive- 

 ness, earliness and good quality, and its pods are 

 less susceptible to mildew than any other large 

 podded variety. (i?& cut.) 40c. pt , 60c. qt , 

 $4.00 peck. 



REFUGEE WAX. 



The name in a manner describes this variety, for in plant and 

 general appearance it closely resembles the IMugee or 101 to 

 1. It is a medium early, and an enormous cropper, being al- 

 most everbearing. 



The foliage is very dense, protecting the round transparent 

 pods, making it almost rust proof, at the same time resisting 

 long continued droughts better than any other round podded 

 wax sort. {See Cut.) 25c. qt ; $1.50 peck; $5.00 bush. 



MPKOVEB GOLDE/N WAX. 



In the Improved Golden Wax we have a Bean that possesses 

 all the good points of the old Golden Wax, but is larger in pod 

 aud much more prolific. This improved stock is one of the 

 handsomest beans we have ever seen, being of dark, rich gol- 

 den yellow color and of perfect shape. It is of grand quality, 

 showing no string or coarseness even when past 

 its best, but is of tender melting flavorat all stages 

 of its growth. For market gardeners or private 

 families, no better bush bean can be planted. 

 25c. qt., $1.50 peck, $5.25bushel. 



DAVIS' WHITE KIDNEY WAX. 



This is a white-seeded selection oi the well- 

 known Wardwell's Kidney Wax, which it resem- 

 bles both in size of plant, pod and earliness. In 

 some localities and under certain conditions it 

 yields rather better than its parent. The eating 

 quality is inferior to Wardwell's, but is equally 

 handsome in appearance and is a better shipper. 

 We specially recommend it as the best wnx sort 

 for shipping long distances. 25c. qt., $1.50 peck, 

 $5.25 bushel. 



WARDWELL'S KIDNEY WAX. 



Is a medium early and one of the hirdiest and 



heaviest cropping of the wax sorts. The plants 



the sun. This is a very valuable feature for the grower, as it 



pods are large, flat and of a showv color, which they retain even 



ing. 25c. tit., $1.60 peck, $5.50 bushel.
