Bush, D™L2i Sis Beans. 1 



BEST OP ALL. 



NEW PROLIFIC GERMAN WAX 



THOROUGHLY revised my list 

 of Beans in 1894, and while it is 

 not as large as it was formerly, still, 

 the next three pages, will be 

 found all sorts that are distinct 

 and worthy of cultivation. Please 

 remember, however, that the best 

 two bush Beans, Maule's Butter Wax 

 and Improved Earliest Round Pod 

 Valentine, will be found listed among 

 my specialties on page 0. 



EARLY MOHAWK A hardy, 



early sort, of old-established reputa- 

 tion. Pkt., 10 cts.; pt., 20 cts.; qt., 35 cts. 

 IMPROVED EARLY YELLOW 



SIX WEEKS. — Alter Valentine, I 

 believe this bean is the next best 

 extra early green pod. It is abso- 

 lutely striugless until it attains full 

 size. It is extra early, very produc- 

 tive, and always makes a good, 

 thick, meaty pod. Pkt, 10 cts.; 

 pt., 25cts.; qt., 40cts. 



ROUND PODDED REFU- 

 GEE — This old, well known 

 variety has lately been greatly 

 improved by one of our most 

 celebrated bean growers. It is 

 somewhat later than either of 

 the above, but still it is won- 

 derfully prolific, of excellent 

 shape, and in every way desir- 

 able; has always been largely 

 grown for pickling. Pkt., 10 cts.; pt., 20 cts.; qt., 35c. 



BEST OF ALL. — Pods are long, very fleshy, 

 succulent and stringless, of good flavor. They are . 

 produced medium early and abundantly. Market 

 gardeners in the neighborhood of New Orleans 

 have long considered them the best of all. Al- 

 though only known in the North to a limited ex- 

 tent, all planting them agree they well deserve the 



name. Packet, 10 cts.; pint, 25 cts.; quart, 45 cts. IMP. EARLY YELLOW SIX WEEKS. 



NEW PROLIFIC GERMAN WAX.— This is a decided improvement on the old German 

 Wax Butter Bean, being a stronger grower, with longer, straighter and rounder pods, and at the 

 same time is more than twice as prolific. Just as the Rust Proof Golden Wax has taken the place 

 of the old Golden Wax, so has Prolific Wax taken the place of the old German Wax Bean; so much 

 so that I do not consider there is any necessity of listing the other variety any longer. All who 

 planted Prolific Wax last season are loud in their praises, and want no better bean. Its very hand- 

 some golden yellow flesh3 r pods, entirely free from strings, borne in immense clusters on every 

 plant, recommend Prolific Wax to the market and home gardener. Pkt., 10c; pint, 25c; qt., 45c. 



IMPROVED RUST PROOF GOLDEN WAX — As we all know, the Golden Wax has long r. 

 been a popular and desirable variety, its greatest fault being its liability to rust, especially in wet S 

 weather. This new strain of Golden Wax is really all its name implies. Pods are thicker than 5} 

 Golden Wax, and if anything of better quality, and above all, absolutely rust proof. I have now 5 

 handled this variety for four seasons, and it has given unbounded satisfaction to all my custo- as 

 mers, so much so that I can conscientiously recommend every friend of the old Golden Wax to * 

 give the Rust Proof a trial, and they will not want any other. Pkt., 10 cts.; pint, 30 cts ; quart, 50 cts. > 

 YOSEMITE WAX.— No other Dwarf Bush Bean can anywhere neajr approach Yosemite in eu 



size, pods being often 8 to 9 inches long, and as thick as 

 meat, and are absolutely stringless, always cooking tender and deli 

 cious. Is enormously prolific, and has given great satisfaction the 

 last few years to all my customers. Pkt., 10 cts.; pint, 30 cts. 



BLACK WAX. — Tender, yellow, transparent pods of the most 

 delicious flavor. Packet, 10 cents; pint, 25 cents; quart, 45 cents. 



SADDLE-BACK WAX.— A cross of the Yosemite and Black- 

 eyed wax, made by N. B. Keeney & Son, Genesee Co., N. Y. First 

 offered in 1890 by a Philadelphia seedsman, who claims them to be 

 broader and thicker than other sorts. Pkt., 10 cts.; pint, 25 cts. 



GOLDEN WAX Ten days earlier than the Black Wax. Pods 



large, long, brittle and stringless. Say what you will, this variety 

 is hard to beat. Notwithstanding the many wax sorts, it still holds 

 its own. Packet, 10 cents; pint, 25 cents; quart, 40 cents. 



WHITE KIDNEY.— Popular, either green or ripe, and is one 

 of the very best forWinter use. Pkt., 10 cts.; pint, 25 cts.; quart, 45 cts. 



LARGE WHITE MARROWFAT — This has always been a 

 popular variety in field culture, and also a most profitable market 

 sort. Packet, io cents; pint, 20 cents; quart, 35 cents. 



PROLIFIC TREE.— This is a small, very white bean, resem- 

 bling the old-fashioned Navy Bean, but cooks In less time, and Is 

 of better flavor. They should be planted in rows 2% feet apart, and 

 20 inches apart in the rows, so as to secure a large yield; they 

 should not be allowed to crowd each other. In competition 

 for a $25.00 premium, M. B. Puryear, Linwood, Ark., raised a vine 

 containingTll pods. Mr. Thompson, of North Andover, Mass., a 

 plant containing 612 pods. From this, some Idea can be had of their 

 wonderful productiveness. Pkt, 10 cts.; pint, 25 cts.; quart, 40 cts. 



BURLING AME MEDI- 

 UMS. — I have advertised this 

 for years as the earliest, har- 

 diest and most productive 

 field bean in America, and 

 have sold many hundreds of tg 

 bushels to my customers, to p 

 their entire satisfaction. 40 

 bushels to the acre is not an 

 unusual yield, and they have 

 frequently made even a larg- 

 er return. They ripen sever- 

 al days earlier than the Mar- 

 row or Pea Bean, and in a 

 wcl season will keep dry and 

 healthy, while other varieties 

 rust and spot. The ripened 

 seed is pearly white, and 

 much handsomer than the 

 old sort, consequently can be 

 frequently sold at an extra 

 price. One of the largest 

 firms handling Beans In 

 Western New York write me 

 that they consider Burlin- 

 Kame the best of all, and it 

 has always produced a crop 

 when others have failed. 

 Packet. Hi cents; pint, 25 cents; 

 quart, 40 cents.
