Dwarf or Bush Beans — Wax or Ye 



27 Maule's Improved Butter Wax 



Stringless, Round, Yellow Pods 



This bean was first offered by us as "Nameless Wax" in 1906, later 

 known as Maule's "Wingold Wax, and during that time had become one 

 of the most popular wax beans on the market. For either the home 

 garden or market it is an ideal sort. The U. S. Department of Agricul- 

 ture in Bulletin 109, endorses this bean highly and part ot their descrip- 

 tion follows : 



"Evidently one of the best of the newer sorts and possibly the hand- 

 somest and best general purpose wax bean. In Department trials 

 Us pods were straighter, more uniform in color and size, more attrac- 

 tive than any other wax sort and fully as productive. Snap pods very 

 uniform in size, long to medium, very straight, round, medium yellow, 

 extremely brittle, absolutely stringless, without fibre and of excellent 

 quality. Early and hardy as German Black Wax or Round Pod Kid- 

 ney Wax, with yellow shell pods borne equally above aud below, foli- 

 age, never colored or splashed." 



In addition to the above this bean is the earliest of all the wax sorts, 

 and is rust-proof and free from disease attacks, and all in all is unsur- 

 passed by any bean of its type on the market. The crop of this popular 

 bush bean was very short. Can offer it in packets only. 



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



i? Golden Eyed Wax 



An extremely early yellow pod bean, and is entirely distinct In its 

 character. The handsome flat yellow pods are very fleshy, stringless 

 and of good quality. It is a strong grower, very hardy and is an excel- 

 lent cropper. The beans are pure white with a yellow eye and can be 

 allowed to dry, making it a good Winter shell sort as well as a snap 

 bean. A desirable sort for both the home garden or market. We regret 

 our crop of this bean was very short, so cannot offer it in larger 

 quantities. Packet, 15 cents; pint. 60 cents; quart, §1.00, postpaid. 

 By express or freight, not prepaid, quart, 85 cents.

Prolific Black Wax 



An improved strain of the old Black Wax; a stronger 

 grower, with longer, straighter and rounder pods, and twice 

 as prolific and is one of the earliest wax sorts. It also remains 

 in good picking condition for a long season. Its handsome, 

 yellow, fleshy, stringless pods are borne well - up from the 

 ground, which commend it for both home and market purposes. 



Packet, 10 cents; pint, 50 cents.; quart, 90 cents, postpaid. 

 By express or freight, not prepaid, quart, 75 cents. 



MAULE'S IMPROVED BUTTER WAX BEAN. 



2s Wardwell's Kidney Wax 



One of the best, earliest and hardiest of the wax sorts. The medium 

 sized plant becomes loaded with long, broad and flat, beautiful waxy 

 colored pods, which are stringless and of a rich, luscious flavor, and are 

 exceedingly brittle; the dried beans are of a distinct kidney shape. We 

 cannot recommend it too highly to market gardeners, as although sev- 

 eral other varieties have tried to supplant it, Wardwell's Kidney Wax 

 still holds its own in many sections of the country. It always com- 

 mands ready sale, making it one of the most profitable wax sorts 

 grown. A great favorite for shipping, fine for the home market 

 and family garden. Regret the crop of this grand bush bean was very 

 near a total failure. We cannot supply larger quantities. 



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



All Seeds quoted postpaid are sent parcel post 

 or express free of ail charge.

 conditions better than most other sorts. Excellent for market gar- 

 deners, and it is equally desirable for the home garden.
