Dwarf Wax or Butter Varieties 



HnnQAW U/AY In growth of vine and foliage 



nwu:>ui>i WAA -g ^i^g j^Qg^ 



orous of any dwarf wax podded bean yet intro- 

 duced and the yield of large, handsome pods is 

 enormous. Its dense foliage so completely pro- 

 tects the pods that their color is an unusually 

 clear creamy white. Pods very long, straight or 

 slightly curved, flat but fleshy, quite stringless and 

 of very good quality. While late in maturing 

 the remarkable vigor of the plant is an effectual 

 safeguard against blight and other bean diseases. 

 Pt. 15c; qt. 250; 4 qts. 85c; pk. $1.50; bush. $5.50. 



NEW PROLIFIC GERMAN OR BLACK 

 WAX. Very superior to the old strain, be- 

 ing much earlier and more productive. Pods 

 perfectly round, longer and of an even, rich 

 golden color. Pt., 15c.; qt., 25c.; gal., 8sc.; 

 pk„ $1.50; bushel, $5.50. 



STRINGLESS REFUGEE WAX. This new 

 variety of dwarf Wax Bean is an improved 

 type of the Refugee Wax, to which it is far 

 superior in every way. The plants are of 

 very robust growth and extremely produc- 

 tive, bearing profusely the large, beautiful pods, which are of delicious flavor. The pods- are 

 round, pencil like. The color is a rich, golden yellow and the quality is excellent. Pt., 15 

 cts.; qt, 25 cts.; gal., 85 cts.; peck, $1.50; bushel, $5.50- 



WARDWELL'S IMPROVED KIDNEY WAX. One of the best sorts yet introduced. It sells 

 twice as well and at a much higher price than the old well-known Golden Wax, the pods be- 

 ing longer, broader and of a brighter yellow color, much superior in quality, tender and string- 

 less. Pt., 15 cts.; qt., 25 cts.; gal., 90 cts.; peck, $1.50; bushel, $5.50. 



NEW WAX. Without exception the earliest Wax Bean. The pods are very meaty, and with so 

 little string that they may justly be called stringless. It is remarkably free from rust and 

 remains a long time without becoming tough, Pt., 15 cts.; qt., 25 cts.; gal., 75 cts.; peck, $1.50; 

 bushel, $5.50. 



IMPROVED RUST-PROOF GOLDEN WAX. An improvement on the original Golden Wax, 

 and a standard variety for general use. The pods grow long, nearly straight, broad, flat and 

 clear yellow. Pt., 15 cts.; qt., 25 cts.; gal., So-ts.; peck, $1.50; bushel, $5.50. 



CURRIE'S RUST-PROOF WAX. It is absolutely rust-proof; the pods grow long, flat, are 

 very tender and of the finest quality. It is early, productive and a good, all-round Bean; 

 ripens about with the Wardwell's Kidney Wax. Pt., 15 cts.; qt., 25 cts.; gal., 75 cts.; peck, 

 $1.30; bushel, $5.00. 



Hodson Wax Beans. 



Stangen Bohnen, Ger. 



POLE BEANS 



1 qt. to 150 hills 



CULTURE. — These require poles 8 to 10 feet long. The Beans should be planted the middle of May if 

 the season is suitable. Lima Beans are apt to rot if p lanted too early. Set poles 4 feet apart each way, 

 and plant 4 to 6 Beans, about 1 inch deep, around each pole. Thin out to 3 plants to a pole, if the soil is 

 rich; pinch off the ends of plants when they overrun the top of the poles, to effect more perfect growth be- 

 low. They succeed best in sandy loam, with a shovelful of rich, light and well-rotted compost to each hill, 

 well incorporated. Lima Beans for early use may be grown in frames and transplanted. 



KENTUCKY WONDER OR OLD HOMESTEAD. A very prolific sort, producing its long 

 pods in large clusters. The pods, when young, are nearly round, of best flavor, and' are most 

 excellent for snaps. One of the best and most profitable beans for the market gardener, the 

 pods being so showy and produced in great abundance. Pt., 15 cts.; qt., 25 cts.; gal., 90 cts.; 

 peck, $1.75. 



LAZY WIFE. The pods are produced in great abundance and measure from 6 to 8 in. in 

 length; they are broad, thick, very fleshy and entirely stringless. The pods retain their rich, 

 tender and stringless qualities until nearly ripe, and are unsurpassed' in all stages. Each pod 

 contains 6 to 8 round, white beans, which make excellent winter shell beans. Pt., 15 cts.; qt., 30 

 cts.; gal., $1.00; peck, $1.75. 



CHERRY POLE OR HORTICULTURAL POLE BEAN (cut short). Vines moderately vigor- 

 ous, with large, light-colored leaves; pods short, pale green, but becoming streaked with 

 bright red; beans large, ovate, splashed and spotted with wine red and of the highest quality, 

 either green or dry. Many people like them better than the Limas. Pkt., 10 cts.; pt., 15 cts.; 

 qt, 30 cts.; gal., $1.00; peck, $1.75.
