6~© Kidney Wax 
The very strong growing vines of this SS hy 
variety yield a large crop of long, nearly straight, Yf 
very white, wax-like, handsome pods, which are Yi 
of good quality and always command a ready sale, j 
making this one of the most profitable varieties 
for the Market Gardener. It matures about the 
same time as the Golden Wax, and the dry-beans 
are large, kidney-shaped, white with dark mark- 
ings about the eye. Pkt. 10c; Pt. 25c; Qt. 40c;

s | GERMAN WAX 
We are so thoroughly satisfied with this im- 
proved strain of Black Wax that we have dis- 
carded the old stock altogether, this being more 
vigorous and far more productive, with a longer. 
whiter, more fieshy pod.. Vines medium-sized, 
very vigorous and hardy. Flowers reddish-white 
or purple. Pods medium length. borne 
well up among the foliage. curved, cylin- 
drical, fleshy. and of a clear, waxy-white 
color, with long, slightly curved point; 
remain a long time in condition for use as 
snaps. Beans small, oblong, jet black. No 
one can afford to plant the old Black 
Wax or Butter Bean, as this is much bet- 
ter in every respect. Pkt. 10c: Pt. 20c;

| 262 SCARLET FLAGEOLET WAX... 
This variety seems to do especially 
well at the South, and is a favorite 
with many truckers. The large, 
strong growing and erect vines pro- 
duce very long, flat, rather coarse, 
but beautifully wax-like pods. which 
, though often curved and twisted, are 
tp, ‘ always handsome. Dry beans large, 
/jj/, fiat, bright red. Pkt. 10c; Pt. 25e; 
LU/ Qt. 40e; 4 Qts. $1.50 
VIOLET FLAGEOLET WAX... 
Known also as *“* Perfection Wax.” 
Plant very large, with large, light 
green leaves. Pods very long and 
large, being longer than those 
of the Scarlet Flageolet Wax, 
also more twisted. When well 
grown it is one of the most 
showy of wax beans. The pods 
are a little later in coming into 
use than the Scarlet Flageolet, 
and it is equally well adapted 
to the South. Pkt.10c; Pt. 25e;

~© GREEN PODDED SORTS @->s 
EXTRA EARLY ROUND POD RED VALENTINE 
For snaps there is nothing superior to this variety 
among the green podded sorts, and many prefer it to the 
wax varieties. Vine erect, with coarse, dark green leaves, 
and large, white blossoms; pods medium length, curved, 
cylindrical, with crease in back, very fleshy, crisp and 
tender; beans medium sized, long, irregular, pink marbled 
with red. Among green podded varieties there is nane, 
we think, that can compare with our stock of Valentine 
in fleshiness and high quality of pod. Many different 
strains of Valentine are offered under slightly varying 
names, each claiming to be a great and distinct improve- 
ment. We have carefully examined them all, both in 
trials and in large fields, and have found none that we are 
willing to substitute for our old stock, which combines in 
a high degree all the good qualities of the sort. Pkt. 10c; 
Pt. 25c: Qt. 40c; 4 Qts. $1.50 
EARLY YELLOW KIDNEY SIX WEEKS 
_ Vines large, vigorous, branching, productive, with 
large leaves and lilac blossoms; pods long, straight, narrow. 
handsome, and when young, of good quality; beans long, 
kidney-shaped, yellowish-drab, with darker marks about 
the eye. Pkt.10c; Pt.l5c; Qt.25c; 4 Qts. 75e; Bu. $4.50 
ROUND YELLOW SIX WEEKS, .... ... 
IMPROVED ROUND POD not diter from the batty oot 
low Kidney Six Weeks in size or general appearance of 
the vine, the pods are shorter, very much thicker, more 
fleshy and quite stringless. Moreover. while retaining the 
vigor and hardiness of the old sort. it is fully one week 
earlier. Dry bean, color of ordinary Six Weeks, but much 
shorter. Pkt.10c; Pt.14e: Qt. 25c; 4 Qts. 75c; Bu. $5.00 
DWARF HORTICULTURAL... 
Vines compact, upright, with large leaves, and very 
cylindrical, curved, with splashes of bright red on a yellowish ground. The ripe beans are 
large, oval, plump, and nearly covered with splashes of bright red. This is one of the best 
varieties for use shelled green, and when in this condition the beans are very large. easily 
shelled, and although of quite different form, are about equal to the Limain quality. Pkt. 10¢: 
Pt. 25e; Qt. 40¢ 
EXTRA EARLY REFUGEE The earliest of the green podded 
kinds furnishing a fleshy pod of fine quality. The vines are a little 
smaller and more upright growing and the leaves distinctly 
lighter colored than those of the late Refugee, though the dry 
beans are of the same shape and color. Our stock has been 
selected with great care and is extremely uniform, all the vines 
ripening their pods well together and long before those of the com- 
mon Refugee are usable. Pkt.10c: :

BEST OF ALL... 
The hardy. vigorous vine produ- 
ces an abundance of very straight, 
handsome pods which when fit for 
use as snaps. are very brittle and 
of a peculiar deep green color. As 
the pods mature they become light- 
er in color and splashed with bright 
red. When fit for use as green 
shelled the beans are large, mot- 
tled with red, very tender and of 
fine quality. The dry beans are 
mottled in two shades of red. One 
of the hardiest and best of the 
green podded varieties. Pkt. 10c:

MARBLEHEAD EARLY , .,.... 
HORTICULTURAL developed 
from the old Horticultural.in which 
the pods and beans are darker, and 
which mature a little earlier. This 
is the earliest green-shelled bean, 
and of the finest quality. Pkt.10c:
