DWARF WAX OR BUTTER VARIETIES 



vine and foliage 

 this is by far the most vigorous 

 of any dwarf wax podded bean yet introduced ahd 

 the yield of large, handsome pods is enormous. Its 

 dense foliage so complelely protects the pods that 

 heir eolor is an unusually clear creamy white. Pods 

 cry long, straight or slightly curved, flat but fleshy, 

 lite stringless and of very good quality. While late 

 maturing the remarkable vigor of the plant is an 

 Tectnal safeguard against l)light and other bean 

 diseases so that a very heavy yield is assured even 

 under conditions so unfavorable as to cause a total 

 failure in some other varieties. Seed long, eylindri- 

 uniform in shape; color light yellowish brown 

 heavily sjjlashed with dull crimson. Pkt. 10c. ; pt. 

 20c.; qt. 30c.; 4 qts. $1.00; bush. ,$G.0O. 



/NEW PROLIFIC GERMAN OR BLACK 

 WAX. Very superior to the old strain, be- 

 ing" miicli 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. 



Hodson Wax Beans. 



IINGLESS REFUGEE WAX. This new 

 1/ 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 

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



L/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, $1.75; bushel, $6.00. 



\y 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. 



^MPROVED RUST-PROOF GOLDEN WAX. An improvement on the original Gold'en 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. 



. ybuRRIE'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. 



^taniim Bohnen, Ger. POLE BEANS ^ 



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 planted too early. Set poles 4 feet apart each way, 

 and plant 4 to G 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. 



AZY WIFE. The pods are produced in g-reat 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. They are late 

 ^o mature, but are valuable to extend the season. This is an excellent bean. Pt., 15 cts.; qt., 

 25cts.; gal., 90 cts.; 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., 25 cts.; gal., 90 cts.; peck, $1.75.
