Wax Bean 
Our Own Original Stock 
Superior fo all Others. 
This bean, introduced by us 
in 1876, still continues 
THE STANDARD WAX VARIETY 
FOR GENERAL USE. 
The popularity of this bean 
has led to the introduction of 
several so-called ‘Improved 
Golden Wax” beans which 
have been sent out with the 
claim that they were superior 
to and would soon supplant it 
in popular favor. Frequent 
enquiries for our old stock of 
Golden Wax Bean convinces us 
that the public have found 
that these so called improved 
strains are not only no im- 
provement but are inferior to the 
old original D. M. Ferry & Co’s 
Golden Wax which is still unequaled 
in sterling good qualities. The pods 
are long, nearly straight, broad, 
flat, golden yellow, very fleshy and wax- 
like, with short, fleshy, green point, cook- 
Ing quickly as snaps, shelling well when 
green, and of the highest quality in 
both conditions. Beans medium size, 
oval, white, more or less covered with two 
shades of purplish red.

Black Wax 
Bxtra Barly 
Bean. 
Introduced by us in 1891. 
Continued experience has 
only strengthened our good 
opinion of this grand bean, and 
the enormous demand for it 
proves it meets the popular re- 
quirements and hasall the ster- 
ling qualities we claim for it. | 
In many comparisons of this 
bean with other extra early 
sorts we have always found 
it to be 
THE FIRST TO RIPEN 
A FULL CROP OF PODS, 
AND UNEXCELLED 
IN QUALITY. 
The Best Early Wax Bean 
For the Market Garden. 
The plants in growth and general . 
appearance resemble the old Black 
Wax or Butter Bean, and are very 
productive. The pods are clear 
waxy-white, quite round,very fleshy, 
crisp, tender and stringless. The 
dry bean is jet black, longer, more 
curved and flatter than the Prolific 
German Wax.
