 elties. 



PENCIL POD WAX. See Novelties. 



IMPROVED EARLY GOLDEN WAX. A 



great improvement on tlae popular old Golden Wax 

 Bean. Lai-ly, the pods are long, brittle, entirely 

 stringless, and of a golden wax color. As a snap 

 bean it excels nearly every other variety in ten- 

 derness anu rich buttery flavor, while as a shell 

 bean it has no superiors. Per pkt. 5 cts., pt. 20 

 cts., qt. 40 cts., pk. $1.50, bu. §6.00.

 stiingless. Verv early and productive. Per pkt. 

 5 cts., pt. 20 cts., qt. 40 cts., pk. $1.50, bu. -6.00. 



KEENEY'S RUSTLESS GOLDEN WAX. 



A strong-growing bush variety of remarkable vig- 

 or and freedom from nist. It sends out short 

 tendrils on which pods are formed in addition to 

 those near the central stock of the plant, which 

 accounts for its wonderful productiveness. The 

 pods are meaty and well filled, of rich yellow color 

 and fine quality and entirely stringless, even when 

 large enough to shell. If the pods are picked as 

 fast as formed, the plant continues to furnish a 

 bountiful supply for an unusually long season. Per 

 pkt. 5 cts., pt. 20 cts., qt. 40 cts., pk. $1.50, bu. 

 $6.00. 



YOSEMITE MAMMOTH WAX. This 

 wonderful wax variety is the forerunner of a race 

 of giants among beans. The pods are nearly all 

 solid pulp and absolutely stringless cooking ten- 

 der and delicious. The pods average 10 to 14 inches 

 in length, and are a rich golden in color. The 

 Yosemite combines size, productiveness and qual- 

 ity in one variety, and is the nearest approach 

 to perfection in Wax Beans. The plant is a re- 

 markably vigorous one, and if the pods are kept 

 closely picked, new ones will continue to be pro- 

 duced. Per pkt. 5 cts., pt. 20 cts., qt. 40 cts., pk. 

 ?2.00. 



SCARLET FLAGEOLET WAX. This 



hi an is certain to please everyone who plants it.

 sidered one of the best. Per pkt. 5 cts., pt. 20 

 CIS., qt. 40 cts., pk. $1.50.

 exceptionally fine flavor. It is very hardy. The 

 bean for market gardeners to grow; try it. Per

 ety can profitably be grown to a much greater ex- 

 tent than is now done as it is of easy culture, and

 crops. It ripens early^ before any danger from 

 frosts in northern bean growing latitudes, and often
