DWARF, or Bush Beans, require no sup- 

 port, and may be planted in hills or drills, the 

 latter way being preferred. Make the drills eigh- 

 teen inches apart, two inches deep, and drop the 

 beans four inches apart in the seed drill. Keep 

 clear of weeds, hoeing when dry. Beans are ten- 

 der annuals, and cannot be safely planted till dan- 

 ger from frost is past. Plant every two weeks for 

 a succession.

WAX-PODDED VARIETIES 

 ^OUND POD KIDNEY WAX. See Nov- 



elties. 



GIANT STRINGLESS. See Novelties. 

 "PENCIL POD WAX. See Novelties. 



IMPROVED EARLY GOLDEN WAX. A 



great improvement on the popular old Golden Wax 

 Bean. Early, the pods are long, brittle, entirely 

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

 bean it excels nearly every other variety in ten- 

 derness and 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. $5.50. 



EARLY PROLIFIC BLACK WAX. A 



popular variety wherever known; the pods waxy 

 yellow, solid, tender, and almost transparent, 

 stringless. Very early and productive. Per pkt. 

 5 cts., pt. 20 cts., qt. 40 cts., pk. $1.50, bu. $.5.50. 



KEENEY'S RUSTLESS GOLDEN WAX. 



A strong-growing bush variety of remarkable vig- 

 or and freedom from rust. 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 wlien 

 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. 

 $5.50. 



YOSEMITE MAMMOTH .WAX. This 



wonderful wax variety is the forerunner of a race 

 of giants among beans. The pods are ncarlv all 

 solid pulp and absolutely stringless, cooking' ten- 

 der and delicious. The pods average 10 to 14 inclies 

 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 AVax Beans. The plant is a re- 

 markably vigorous one, and if llie jx.ds are kept 

 closely picked, new ones will contiimc (o be pro- 

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

 $2.00; 



SCARLET FLAGEOLET WAX. This 



bean is certain to phase everyone who jjlants it. 

 Pods of a beautiful g(jlden color, often a foot in 

 length, exceedingly tender , and succulent, and 

 enormously productive. Medium early and con- 

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

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



WARDWELL'S KIDNEY WAX. This 



variety is one of the earliest in cultivation. A 

 strong grower, very productive, very tender, and of 

 exceptionally fine flavor. It is very hardy. The 

 bean for market gardeners to grow; try it. Pei pkt. 

 5 cts., pt. 20 cts.. qt. 40 cts., pk. 81.5O, bu. J6.0U.

GREEN-PODDED VARIETIES 



IMPROVED EARLY RED VALENTINE.

 culent, and of excellent flavor, continuing longer

 time of sowing in May. Per pkt. 5 cts., pt. 20 

 cts., qt. 35 cts., pk. $1.25, bu. $4.50. 



EXTRA EARLY REFUGEE. The old 



Refugee Bean is so well and favorably known that 

 this new variety will be quickly appreciated. It is 

 similar in every respect to the ordinary Refugee, 

 but it is nearly two weeks earlier. It is enormous- 

 ly prolific, and is almost certain to produce a crop, 

 no mailer how unfavorable the season. Per pkt. 

 5 cts., pt. 20 cts., qt. 35 cts., pk. $1.25. 



PROLIFIC TREE. This valuable variety 



for field culture is the most prolific bean yet

 out in all directions. They yield from 40 to 50 

 bushels per acre. Plant in rows 3 feet apart, one 

 bean in a hill, 20 inches apart. Four quarts are 

 sufficient for an acre. Per pkt. 5 cts., pt. 20 cts., 

 qt. 35 cts., pk. 75 cts., bu. $3.00. 



IMPROVED WHITE NAVY. This vari- 

 ety can profitably be grown to a much greater ex- 

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

 one that certainlj' pays better than most field 

 crops. It ripens earl}-, before any danger from 

 frosts in northern bean growing latitudes, and often 

 \i('lds sixty fold with ordinary field culture. Per 

 pkt. 5 cts., pt. 20 cts., qt. 35 cts., pk. 75 cts., bu. 

 $3.00.
