Davis Kidney Wax 



A wax podded variety, with kldne\ shaped 

 ;vhlte seeds. The high claims which 1 made 

 for it iu 1895, when Introducing It to the public, 

 have been abundantly verified. It is handsome, 

 prolific and profitable, and not e\celled bj any 

 of the wax sort,s. It is of strong giowth, and 

 holds its long, straight pods well abo\e the 

 ground. The pods are of a cleai, waxy white 

 color, and are more conspicuous than the 

 foliage itself when the bush Is in lull beai in^,. 

 Pods plump, full and entirely lust piool, o: 

 as nearly so as any bean may be It is of e\ 

 tremely high table quality, and is adapted to 

 home use or market, and is not excelled foi 

 canning. Piiclcet, 10 cents; pint, 'Z'i cents; 

 qunrt, 40 cents, postpaid. By express oi 

 frelglit, not prepulil, quart, Zi cents;

'S'" 



A 



WARDWELL'S KIDNEY WAX BEAN. 



The Market Oatdener's 

 Favorite 



Many progressive gardeners will have no 

 other than Wardwell's Kidney Wax Bean. In 

 the South especially an enormous acreage is 

 annually planted, with great profit to the grow- 

 ers. It is one of the best, earliest and most 

 hardy of the wax sorts. The medium sized plant 

 becomes loaded with long, broad and flat, beau- 

 tiful waxy colored pods, which are stringless 

 and of a rich, luscious flavor, and are exceed- 

 ingly brittle; the dried beans are of a distinct 

 kidney shape. I cannot recommend it too 

 highly to market gardeners, as although several 

 other varieties have tried to supplant it. Ward- 

 well's still holds its own in many sections of the 

 country. A great favorite for shipping, the 

 home market and family garden. 

 Paclset, 10 cts.; pint, 25 cts.; quart, 40 cts., 

 postpaid. By ex. or freight, not prepaid, 

 qt., 3.5c.; 4 qts., 85c.; pis., $1.50; liu., $5.50. 



31 New Stringless White Wax 



A very hardy and productive yellow pod 

 bush bean. The pods are straight and flat 

 of a bright lemon yellow color, medium 

 size, brittle, meaty and entirely stringless. 

 The plant Is of sturdy, upright growth 

 heavily laden with handsome wax pods 

 and continues in bearing for a long period. 

 Can be used for both a snap or shell bean 

 as the beans are large and white, making 

 it desirable for canners, as well as for the 

 home garden. Packet, 10 cts.; pint, 35 

 cts.; quart, 43 cts. postpaid. By express 

 or freight, not prepaid, qt., 30 cts.; 4 

 qts., $1.00; pk., $1.75; bu., $6.50.

Improved Rust Proof 

 Golden Wax 



This Is a decided improvement on the old Golden AVax. In fact, I no 

 longer catalogue Golden Wax, on account of its great liability to rust 

 or spot; but this strain is almost wholly free from such defects. Im- 

 proved Rust Proof Golden Wax has far more vigor than its parent, and 

 hence Its name. The pods are flat and succulent, and are borne in great 

 profusion, and I commend it to the public as a superior wax bush bean. 

 The average size, shape and appearance of the beautiful pods are shown 

 in the Illustration. Cooking quickly as snaps, shelling well when green, 

 and of the highest quality in either way. Packet, 10 cts.; pint, 35 cts.; 

 quart, 40 cts., postpaid. By express or freight, not prepaid, 

 quart, 35 cents; 4 quarts, 85 cents; peck, $1.50; bushel, $5.75. 



..Silver or Crystal White Wax 



The pods are of a beautiful silvery color, and are borne in great profu- 

 sion. They are sweet and tender. Becoming very popular, as it shows 

 vigor of vine as well as good quality. The beautiful round pods show 

 no disposition to spot. Seed clear white. Packet, 10 cents; pint, 35 

 cents; quart, 40 cents, posti>ald. By express or freight, not pre- 

 paid, quart, 35 cts.; 4 quarts, 85 cts.; peck, $1.30; hushel, $3.50.

Michigan White Wax 



MICHIGAN WHITE WAX BEAN 



An exceptionally valuable new bean. Briefly described as a White 

 Seeded Golden W^ax. Vines robust and vigorous; the handsome broad 

 pods are produced in great abundance and are very uniform in size and 

 color, whicli is a very attractive light golden yellow; meaty and of super- 

 ior quality. Seed clear white; this feature alone makes this variety a 

 very decided advantage over all other wax podded beans, In that as 

 snaps they cook without discoloring, and thus are more attractive on 

 the table; while as dry beans they are very handsome and superior to 

 any staple white bean. Valuable for both home or market gardeners 

 and canners. Packet, 10 cents; pint, 25 cents; quart, 45 cents, 

 postpaid. By express or freight, not prepaid, quart, 30 cents; 

 4 quarts, $1.00; peck, $1.73; bushel, $6.50.
