8 — Vegetable Seeds 



THE MAULE SEED BOOK FOR 1912 



33 Imperial Wax 

 or Golden Crown 



This remarkable early bush bean is an improved Jones' 

 Stringless Was, becoming very popular; has long golden 

 pods. The pods are round, plump and perfectly stringless. 

 The seeds are white, and their color makes them sell quickly 

 in the ripe or dry state. Its enormous yield, line table quality 

 and freedom from string place it in the front rank, and make 

 it of peculiar value to the private grower, the market gar- 

 dener and the canner. The vine is of the bush type, with 

 strong and vigorous growth, with the load of pods carried well 

 above the soil. In addition to this, spikelets are thrown out 

 above the foliage, which in turn produce pods, thus adding 

 materially to the total yield of the plant. Imperial is very 

 early, free from rust and blight, and produces marketable 

 pods very quickly. It ripens so early that it can be harvested 

 before the late August rains. Pitt., 10 cts.; pt., 35 cts.; qt., 

 45 cts., postpaid. By express or freight, not prepaid, 

 quart, 30 cts.; 4 quarts, Sl.OO; peck, $1.75; bnsbel, $6.50.

f' First offered in 1903. 80,000 packets were distributed free for 

 ' trial among my customers, who, without a single exception, were 

 delighted, not only with its wonderful productiveness, but also 

 with its fine flavor and handsome api^earance. I offered in my 

 r.(03 catalogue §100 in cash prizes for a suitable name for Profu- 

 sion Wax Bean. More than 10,000 names were suggested by my 

 customers, six of whom selected the name Profusion Wax, which 

 I considered the most appropriate for the variety, and the hun- 

 dred dollar prize was divided among them. The illustration 

 herewith is no exaggeration whatever. The vines are literally 

 ciivered with fine, long, handsome transparent yellow pods, 

 ^^■hich are remarkably brittle, as it has no strings whatever. It 

 i-^ a wonderfully strong grower. Pods are round, of very large 

 size, and always full ofineat. In addition to these good qualities 

 ii is very early and continues in bearing a long time. Profusion 

 Wax will hold its own at all times against strongest competition.
