DAVIS KIDNEY WAX five years' 



FROM NOW WILL HEAD THE LIST AS THE 

 c MOST PRODUCTIVE WAX BEAtsI IN 

 CULTIVATION. 



For Enormous Productiveness and Desirable 

 Market Qualities, it Leads All. 



IT is with special pride that I call my customers attention to this re- s 

 * marknble new bean, which impressed me so favorably thai I have „ 



Said the originator a sum running into thousands of dollars in order to 

 ave my name identified with its introduction. Almost every seeds- 

 man of prominence is already acquainted with the superior merits of 

 the New Davis Kidney Wax; but I am glad to say that with the single 

 exception of one other house, who purchased some of these beans at a 

 price approximating $75.00 per bushel, I have secured the entire supply 

 of seed that will be offered this its first season. Davis Kidney Wax is 

 undoubtedly the greatest bean ever offered, being absolutely rust 

 proof; so productive that the vines are absolutely a mass of pods, and 

 the field from a distance shows more yellow in color from the pods than 

 it does green front the leaves. It holds its pods well up from the ground, 

 standing considerably higher than the Golden Wax. The pods are 

 alw ays full of large plump beans, it being impossible to find a windy 

 pod. Its place among t be many wax varieties is practically a com- 

 petitor ofWardwell's Kidney Wax, as the Davis Kidmy Max grows 

 larger, handsomer pods, of finer flavor, and more beans to the acre can 

 be grown than of any other sort in the w ax family, it is fullv as early 

 as the Golden Wax, Detroit Rust Proof, etc. 



I ha ve but little more to say, except that I ■wish to emphasize the 

 fact that canners even now are using the old .White wax, 'which Is one 

 of the most unprofitable beans to grow; but they use it simply on 

 account of its color. The Davis Kidney Wax, however, overcomes 

 this difficulty entirely, being pure white, with no eye, and of true 

 Kidney shape.it is just the bean canners have been looking for. 

 In a comparative test with other varieties of Wax Beans, In rows 

 50 feet long, the Davis Kidney Wax outyielded theentlre list of varie- 

 ties by 38Jj, per cent. In other words, one-third more nods of Kidney 

 Wax were picked in the row than of any other sort, all having an equal 

 chance. Seed of 1 (avis Is idney Wax is necessarily limit* d to a \ I r\ f( w 

 bushels this its first season, and the indications are 1 will not have 

 enough to go round, so I can oiler it by the packet only. 



Packrt, '10 cents; 3 packets, 50 cents: 7 packets. SI. 00. 



KEENEY'S RUSTLESS GOLDEN WAX. 



This new bean, offered this year for the first time, is the result of 

 many years' efforts on the part of one of the most experienced and 

 largest bean grow ers in the country, who has this to say regarding it : 

 "This is the long-looked-for bean, combining hardiness and productiveness 

 with fine quality. A strong growing bush variety of remarkable vigor and free- 

 dom from rust. It sends out short tendrils on which pods are termed in addition 

 to those near the central stalk of the plant, which accounts for Its wonderful pro- 

 ductiveness, amounrlni; under favorable conditions to 100 to ISO fold. The ports 

 are meaty and well filled, thick, flat when young, and send-round later , of rich 

 yellow color and line 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 lonu season." 



I'acket, IS cents; Si packets, 25 cents. 



Some of my customers $2&2tM^l£X* 



of these two varieties tilts season ; I take pleasure in offering a 

 packet of New Davis Kidney Wax anil Kceney's Knstless, to 

 all wishing to make such a trial for 25 cents, postpaid.
