Monster Stringless 

 Wax Bean 



Mr. Vaughan, the introducer of this 

 splendid variety, says: The Monster String- 

 less Wax has no superior as to quality and 

 flavor. It is so stringless and tender that it 

 can be used on the table up to the time the 

 bean is almost ripe. Its color is a light 

 handsome yellow, a color which it assumes 

 almost from its setting. In size it is the 

 largest of all Bush Beans; about half an 

 inch thick and 5 to 8 inches in lenghth. 

 In addition to its superior quality and size, 

 Monster Stringless Wax is early being with- 

 in a couple of days of other popular early 

 sorts. It matures its beans evenly and well 

 together. As to location this variety does 

 its best on the rich prairie soils of the West. 

 This strain shows up well at exhibitions 

 where its superiority can be seen by com- 

 parison. It is unsurpassed for private gar- 

 dens. Price per pkt. 10 cts., Vz pt. 20 cts., 

 qt. 60 cts., pk. $2.50. 



New Hodson Wax Bean 



This distinct new type of bean is re- 

 markable for its great size of plant and 

 pod and wonderful productiveness. It 

 will outyield any other bush bean. A 

 very sturdy grower, and so far it has 

 proven to be entirely free from rust and 

 blight. Comes about two weeks later 

 than the earliest dwarf beans. Plants are 

 loaded with long, handsome, straight 

 pods, averaging seven inches in length, 

 and of a waxy cream-yellow. 



When picked young they are string- 

 less, when fully mature they have a 

 slight string. It is distinctly a market 

 gardener's bean, as a main crop vari- 

 ety, on account of its great vigor and 

 freedom from diseases. The plant should 

 be at least thinned out to 6 inches 

 apart in the row. 



Price per pkt. 5 fcts., Yz pt. 15 cts., 

 pt. 25 cts., qt. 45 cts., pk. $1.75.
