Round Pod Kidney Wax. 
A great improvement over Wardwell’s Kidney 
Wax,as it hasa true round pod of fully as good 
quality as that flat-podded sort. Then, as itis 
much more hardy and produces much better 
crops, we recommend it as one of the finest 
sorts for the Southern grower, home market or 
for family use.
