similar shape as the Golden Wax, but long- 

 er; color of a beautiful golden yellow. They 

 are very prolific and hardy, surpassing any 

 other Dwarf Wax Bean that we know of. 

 The color of the bean is somewhat like the 

 Golden Wax, but more kiduey-shaped and 

 more spotted with dark purple. 'it has 

 done best here among the Dwarf Wax 

 Beans. Of all the many new kinds we had 

 tried, we found none to excel it. 



Dwarf Flageolet Wax. A German 

 variety which figures as Perfection Wax, 

 also Scarlet Flageolet Wax in some cata-

 its wonderful productiveness, amounting, 

 under favorable conditions, from ioo to 150 

 fold. 



The pods are meaty and well filled, thick- 

 flat when young, and semi-round later: of 

 rich yellow color and fine quality, and en-
