Dwarf or Bush Beans 



Wax or Yellow-Pod Varieties 



These Wax Bush Beans are preferred by quite a few gardeners on account of 

 their beautiful light color and their milder flavor. They are grown in the same 

 manner as the green-pod varieties and those with black seeds may be sown 

 considerably earlier than those which have lighter colored seeds. All varieties 

 we list have been proved to produce heavy crops of attractive appearance under 

 most varied conditions of soil and weather. For the control of the bean beetle 

 spray or dust with Dutox. See page 213. 



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

 the highest quality which like others of the black seeded varieties may 

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

 pods are from 6 to 7 inches long, round, nearly straight, positively string- 

 less, and of a clear yellow. Plants arc very strong and bear abundantly. 

 Pkt. 10c; -J lb. 25c; lb. 40c; 2 lbs. 70c; 5 lbs. $1.65, prepaid. 



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

 bear the pods well off the ground, preventing rust and rot. 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. 10c; £ lb. 25c; lb. 35c; 2 lbs. 65c; 5 lbs. $1.55, prepaid. 



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

 producing large, round, meaty pods which are stringless and of excellent 

 quality. The best yellow-podded canner either commercially or for the 

 home. Pkt. 10c; \ lb. 25c; lb. 40c; 2 lbs. 70c; 5 lbs. $1.65, prepaid. 



79 Round-Pod Kidney or Brittle Wax. A fine early Bean of very 

 high quality and one that we can unhesitatingly recommend. The pods 

 grow up to 6 inches long. They are thick, perfectly round, and of a clear 

 yellow color. So brittle and stringless are the pods that the variety is often 

 called for under the name of Brittle Wax. Pkt. 10c; § lb. 25c; lb. 40c; 

 2 lbs. 70c; 5 lbs. $1.65, prepaid. 



84 Sure-Crop Stringless Wax. Much resembles Bountiful in the sturdy 

 character and disease resistant constitution of its plants. It starts bearing 

 within 60 days after seeds are sown. The pods average 6 to 7 inches long, 

 are very meaty, flat but thick through, and in common with most black- 

 seeded varieties is very hardy and may therefore be planted several days 

 earlier than the light-seeded sorts. Pkt. 10c; \ lb. 25c; lb. 40c; 2 lbs. 70c; 

 5 lbs. $1.65, prepaid. 



Unrivaled Wax Beans 



86 Unrivaled Wax. Ready for gathering within 65 days after 

 seeds are sown. A robust grower, it withstands considerable 

 rainy weather. The pods are light yellow in color, long, flat, 

 slightly curved at the end, very fleshy, tender, and of 

 excellent quality. Pkt. 10c; \ lb. 25c; lb. 40c; 2 lbs. 70c;

 less and brittle. Pkt. 10c, \ lb. 25c; lb. 40c; 2 lbs. 70c;

Round-Pod Kidney or Brittle Wax Beans 



Shell Beans 



Dwarf or Bush Varieties 



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 every 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 

 iniure the crop.

In addition to the Shell Beans listed here the variety 

 Dwarf Horticulture offered on page 9 is also grown 

 extensively for shell beans though the young tender pods are 

 splendid as snap-shorts. The Pole Horticulture or 

 Speckled Cranberry and Lazy Wife's are splendid climb- 

 ing beans for shell purposes. See page 11. 



For heaviest yield of beans inoculate the seed with Legume Culture offered on page 203.
