27 Maule's Improved Butter Wax 



The Best Wax Bean for the Home Garden. Extremely Early, Very Handsome 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 for either the home garden or market. 

 The U. S. Department of Agriculture in Bulletin 109 endorses this bean 

 highly and part ot their description follows : 



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

 somest and best general purpose wax beau. In Department trials 

 its 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 and 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. 



Packet, 15 cents; pint, 60 cents; quart, $1.00, postpaid.

17 Golden Eyed Wax 



Hardy, Very Early, of Good Quality and a Heavy Cropper 



An extremely early yellow podded bean, which 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.

23 Sure-Crop Stringless Wax 



Extra Early, Perfectly Stringless ; a Sure Cropper 



A valuable sort of recent introduction. While it resembles the well- 

 known Currie's Rust Proof Wax in plant, pods and bean, it is in no 

 way related to this variety, but is entirely different in quality, tender- 

 ness, and is stringless at all stages of its development. Produces pods 

 which average 6 inches long, are flat, thick and meaty. The plants are 

 very thrifty and hardy, resisting blight admirably and stands a remark- 

 able amount of dry weather. Desirable for market or home gardeners.

 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

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

 grown. A great favorite for shipping, fine for the family garden.

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

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