WM. HENRY MAULE, Inc., PHILADELPHIA, PA. 



.Davis Kidney Wax 



A wax podded -variety, with kidney shaped 

 white seeds. The dry bean is a good shell bean 

 for winter. The high claims which we made 

 for it in 1895, when introducing it to the public, 

 have been abundantly verified. It is handsome, 

 prolific and profitable. It is of strong growth, 

 and holds its long, straight pods well above 

 the ground. The pods are of a clear, waxy 

 yellow color; are more conspicuous than the 

 foliage itself when the bush is in full bearing. 

 Pods oval-shaped and entirely rust proof, or 

 as nearly so as any bean may be. It is of high 

 table quality, and is adapted to home use or 

 market and is not excelled for canning; having 

 while seeds, which are very attractive in jars. 

 Packet, 10 cts.; pint, 50 cts.; quart, 90 cts.

New Kidney Wax 



A productive yellow podded sort, producing handsome pods, which are fleshy 

 and flattened in form, often measuring 6 to 7 inches in length, and are entirely 

 stringless and britt le at all stages of development, meaty and of fine flavor. In 

 color they are of a beautiful lemon yellow. The plant is of robust, upright 

 growth and productive, bearing its pods well above the ground, about the 

 same season as Wardwell's Kidney Wax, but producing more pods, which are 

 larger in size and more attractive in appearance. An excellent market gar- 

 deners sort, and does equally well for the amateur. The seed crop of this bush 

 bean was very near a total failure. Cannot supply in larger quantities this year. 

 Packet, 15 cents; 2 packets, 25 cents, postpaid.

Improved Rust Proof 

 Golden Wax 



This is a decided improvement on the old Golden Wax. In fact, we 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. Improved Rust Proof 

 Golden Wax has far more vigor than its parent, and hence its name. The pods 

 are of medium length, 4 to 5 inches, nearly straight, broad, flat and of golden 

 yellow color, and are borne in great profusion, and we commend it to the pub- 

 lic 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 cents; pint, 50 cents; quart, 90 cents, postpaid. By express 

 or freight, not prepaid, quart, 75 cents; 4 quarts, $2.75; peck, $5.00.
