BEANS— Continued 

 Wax or Yellow-Podded Varieties 



65 Improved Black Wax or Pencil Pod. An extra fine, early Bean of 

 the highest quality, and, characteristic of the black seeded varieties, may 

 be planted earlier than seed of other colors, being very much hardier. 

 Pods are from 6 to 7 inches long, round, nearly straight, positively stringless 

 and of a clear yellow. Plants are very strong and bear abundantly and this is 

 undoubtedly one of the most useful wax beans now offered. Pkt., 10 cts.; 

 $lb., 25 cts.; lb., 40 cts.; 2 lbs., 75 cts.; 5 lbs., $1.75, prepaid. 



71 Improved Rust-proof Golden Wax. The vines grow erect and bear 

 the pods well off the ground, thus preventing rust and rot. The pods 

 average five inches long, are quite fleshy, straight, broad, flat and of a rich 

 golden yellow color, stringless at all stages. A sure cropper for the small 

 garden. Pkt, 10 cts.; \ lb., 25 cts.; lb., 35 cts.; 2 lbs., 70 cts.; 5 lbs., $1.65, 

 prepaid. 



79 Round Pod Kidney, or Brittle Wax. (See Specialties, page 2.) 



Pkt., 10 cts.; \ lb., 25 cts.; lb., 40 cts.; 2 lbs., 75 cts.; 5 lbs., $1.75, prepaid. 

 76 Stringless Refugee Wax. A main crop, hardy, vigorous variety, pro- 

 ducing large, round meaty pods, stringless and of excellent quality. The 

 best yellow podded canner either commercially or for the home. Pkt., 

 10 cts.; \ lb., 25 cts.; lb., 45 cts.; 2 lbs., 75 cts.; 5 lbs., $1.75, prepaid. 

 84 Sure Crop Stringless Wax. This we think of as a worthy companion to 

 Bountiful among the green podded varieties. Sure Crop Stringless Wax 

 very much resembles Bountiful in the sturdy character and disease resistant 

 constitution of its plants. It also starts bearing within 60 days after seeds 

 are sown, but if anything its beiring season is longer. The pods average 

 6 to 7 inches long, are very meaty, flat but thick through, and we have 



never found a stringy spe- 

 cimen in our trials extend- 

 ing over more than ten 

 years. In common with 

 most black-seeded varieties, 

 Sure Crop Stringless Wax 

 is very hardy and may there- 

 fore be planted several days 

 earlier than the light-seeded 

 varieties. Pkt., 10 cts.; \ 

 lb., 25 cts.; lb., 40 cts.; 2 

 lbs., 75 cts.; 5 lbs., $1.75, 

 prepaid.

Dwarf Varieties of Shell Beans 



Culture —These are grown to maturity, dried, shelled, and stored for winter use, 

 being used exclusively for baking and for soups. Superior in every way to canned beans. 

 No garden should be without a few rows of these very year. Plant when ground is warm 

 in spring and up to July 1st, in rows 2 feet apart and beans 3 inches apart, 1-} inches deep. 

 Keep well hoed and draw the earth up to the stems, but only when dry, as working when 

 wet with rain or dew will cause rust and injure the crop.
