careful tests have convinced us that none of the so called improved strains 

 is equal in general excellence to the seed we offer, which has all been care- 

 fully selected and grown from the original D. 31. Ferry & Co's Golden Wax. 

 Early, very productive; pods long, nearly straight, broad, flat, golden yellow, 

 very flesliy and wax-like; cooking quickly as snaps, shelling well when 

 green, and' of the highest quality used in either way. Seed medium sized, 

 oval, white, more or less covered with two shades of pui-plish red. The 

 amount and shade of color on this and all parti-colored beans will be affected 

 greatly bv conditions of soil and ripening. Pkt. 10c; Pt. 35c; Qt. 35c;

m/f 1 • \in-*i. wr This new wax bean has proved of exceptional 



miCnigan White Wax value. For years past there was a constant 

 demand for a white seeded wax bean of the highest quality. At last we 

 were able to produce it. Briefly described Michigan White Wax is a white 

 seeded D. M. Ferry & Co"s Golden Wax but in several vital features it is dis- 

 tinctly superior to that excellent and exceedingly popular variety. The 

 vine is a little larger, more robust and vigorous: foliage a little heavier.- The 

 handsome pods are produced in greater abundance and are very uniform in 

 size and color which is a very attractive light golden yellow: pods compara- 

 tivelj' broad, meaty and of the same superior quality as our Golden Wax. 

 The seed is clear white. This feature alone gives the varietj' a very decided 

 advantigeoverallotherearly wax podded beans in that as snaps they cook 

 without discoloring and thus are more attractive on the table. Avhile as dry 

 beans they are very handsome and quite as useful as any of the staple white 

 beans. We believe canners have never been offered a bean so fully ineeting 

 their requirements as to earliness, color and splendid quality. [See cut in
