DWARF WAX OR BUTTER VARIETIES 



Wardwell's Improved Kidney Wax 



New Prolific German or Blacii Wax. Very su- 

 perior to the old strain, being- much earlier 

 and more productive. Pods perfectly 

 round, longer and of an even, rich golden 

 color. Pt., 15c.; qt., 25c.; gal., 85c.; 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 ro- 

 bust growth and extremely productive, 

 bearing profUvSely the large, beautiful 

 pods, which are of delicious flavor. Plants 

 of this variety have been grown contain- 

 ing as many as twenty-five fully developed 

 pods at one time. The pods are round, 

 pencil like and very large, usually con- 

 taining five beans each and are always 

 stringless. The color is a rich, golden yel- 

 low and the quality is excellent. Pt., 15 

 cts.;qt., 25cts; 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 being 

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

 stringless. The vines are of a vigorous growth, hardy and remarkably productive. 

 Pods ripen evenly from blossom to stem end, and are borne well up from the ground. 

 Pt., 15 cts.; qt., 25 cts; gal., 90 cts; peck, $1.75; bushel, $6.00. 



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., 80 cts; peck, $1.50; bushel, $5.50. 



Gurrie'S Rust-Proof Wax. There has been much attention given to the improvement of the old-fashioned 

 Golden Wax Bean, and this variety seems to be one of the best. It is absolutely rust proof; the pods 

 grow long, fiat, 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. 



Stangen Bohnen,GiEiB. POLE BEANS ^ 150 hills. 



CDLTURE.-These require poles 8 to 10 feet long. The Beans should be planted the middle of May if the sea- 

 son is suitable. Lima Beans are apt to rot if planted 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 below. 

 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., 85 cts; peck, $1.50 



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 qual- 

 ities until nearly ripe, and are unsurpassed in all stages. Each pod contains 6 to 8 round, white 

 beans, which make excellent winter shell beans. They are late to mature, but are valuable to extend 

 the season. This is an excellent bean. Pt., 15 cts; qt., 25 cts; gal., 75 cts; peck, $1 50. 



Clierry Pole or Horticultural Pole Bean (cut sliort). Vines moderately vigorous, 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. Packet, 10 cts; pt., 15 cts; qt., 25 cts; gal., 75 cts; bush., $5.00,
