9 The very hardy, productive, erect 
err & O S growing plants bear their pods near 
e e the center of the vine, but occasion- 
ally throw a stem above the leaves. 
e Leaves large, dark green; blossoms 
D ef olt W ax small, white; pods straight, flat, but 
eee it thick to edge; proportionately 
broader than the Golden Wax. They 
are frequently greenish-yellow when young, but when well grown and fit for use they are of 
a beautiful golden wax color, and of good quality. We think this variety the least liable to 
rust of any, and the fact that seedsmen sometimes offer it under other names as absolutely 
rust-proof, is evidence that they have found it as nearly rust-proof as any wax bean. When 
picked at the same time as Golden Wax and other varieties, it keeps bright and crisp long 
after the others are wilted and unsalable, making it 
ONE OF THE BEST FOR SHIPPING LONG DISTANCES 
it is also one of the very best green shelled beans. The dry beans are white, with a patch of 
chocolate brown about the eye. They are like those of the White Marrow in shape, and fully 
as good for baking. Pkt. 10c; Pt. loc; Qt. 25c; 4 Qts. 75c; Bushel $5.00 
‘Davis Wax 
ek AN EXCEEDINGLY HARDY, 
\; | PRODUCTIVE, WHITE SEEDED, 
WAX PODDED SORT. 
All of the pods are very long, white, straight and 
handsome. This is the most hardy and productive 
bush, wax podded bean in cultivation. The vine is 
rustless and very vigorous, bearing near the center 
many clusters, some of which extend above the foliage. 
When young, the pods are very brittle, crisp and ten- 
der. The dry beans are kidney-shaped, clear white 
and excellent for baking. 
One of the best of all for shipping as snap beans 
and of the greatest value for either the market or 
home garden. The perfect shape and fine color of the 
pods, and the clear white seed make this 
ONE OF THE BEST SORTS 
FOR CANNERS 
It is just what they want, a long, straight, clear 
white pod, which does not discolor in canning.

. This variety was introduced in 1895, as the 
Valenti me Wax earliest of va beans, and our experience is 
that it is remarkably early. The pods are thick and fleshy, with but very little string; 
the plant is vigorous and productive, and it is a popular sort wherever known.

We have taken especial pains with this variety, 
Refusee Wax which, aS we Event it, is one of the very best in 
cultivation. The stock which we offer is much superior to that commonly sold, being 
very early and every plant can be depended upon to produce thick, fleshy, wax-like 
pods, of fine quality and of a clear waxy-white color, there being none of the green- 
podded plants so abundant in other stocks of the sort. Pkt. 10c; Pt. 20c; Qt. 30c;

Vines medium sized, erect, bearing the 
B i aG k 7 GL YY eC d Ww ax pods near the center. Leaves large, thin, 
dark green. Pods long, straight, proportionately narrow, and rounder than those 
of the Golden Wax, and of a lighter color. Dry beans medium sized, long, cylindrical, 
white, with black spot round the eye. As early as the Golden Wax, but not equal in 
earliness to the Challenge Black Wax. Pkt.10c; Pt.15c; Qt.25c; 4 Qts.75c; Bu. $5.00

9 Early in th

seems to be a pole bean, but the runners are short and soon become self-supporting. The pods, 
which are produced in wonderful profusion, are stringless, very white, wax-like and handsome.

Rust-Proof Wax 
It has been claimed that 
this variety is absolutely rust- 
proof, and we have found it 
like the Detroit Wax, as nearly 
rust-proof as any good wax 
podded bean can be. Vine very 
vigorous, hardy and produc- 
tive, about the season of Kid- 
ney Wax; dry beans bluish- 
black. Pkt. 10c; Pt. 20c;
