This variety was introduced in 1895 as the earliest of wax 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 promises to become a

D. M. FERRY & CO’S DETROIT WAX. 
The very hardy, productive, erect growing plants bear their pods near the center of 
the vine, but occasionally throw a stem above the leaves. Leaves large, dark 
reen; blossoms small, white; pods straight, flat, but thick to edge; distinctly 
Beige 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 
\ erisp 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.
