17 
BUSH OR DWARF BEANS-continued. 
COlden Wax. — Maturing for the table in about thirty-five days from 
germiuation. A flat-podded sort, but probably the best known of tlic 
vellovv wax pod varieties, having become everywhere popular because of 
Its long, showy pods, which are nearly twice the length of the old Black- 
seeded Wax. "Pkts. 5c. aud 10c. ; per qt. 30c. 
Owarf Kidney Wax.— Seed smaller than Landreths' Scarlet, kidney 
formed, color white with dashes of light purple about a while eye. A 
valuable golden-wa.\ podded variety. Very similar in edible pod to the 
Landreths' .Scarlet-Seeded Wax, maiuringin about the same time. Pkts. 
5c. and 10c. ; per qt. 35c. 
jpinls Eye W'ax. — -A. new yellow wax podded bush variety introduced 
by this lirm in 1<S8S, aud most highly recommended by us aud commended 
by all gardeners who have tried it. This bean can only be obtained from 
us. The Pink Eye Wax produces an erect short vine bearing fiit golden- 
wax pods, resembling, but beyond comparison, superior to the Golden 
Wa.x. The pods of ihe Pink ICye are Ijorne in clusters of tliree or four on 
a branch, consequently the plant is far more productive than any other 
Golden Wax variety. 'Pods large, roiuid, meaty and absolutely stringless. 
This cannot be claimed for any other variety of Bean, and raiscsstlie Pink 
Kye Wa.x-tolhe very first rank. The pods arrive in condition lor eating 
or for shipping tliirty-livc days from gei mination. The dry .seeds are all 
white excepting a pink eye. A peculiar quality of this uew Beau is the 
preservative or loug-staniiiug habit of the pods; tliat is to say, a contin- 
uation of their tender, juicy, ijrittle ciondition or adaptability for cooking 
over a period exleudii'ig several days beyond that of any other known 
variety, a habit of inestimable value to tlic market gardener, who, with 
such a long-keeping variety under adverse conditions of rain or labor 
troubles, is not li.able to such serious loss as with a quick-hardening sort.

L,aiiclretli.s' Saddleback: Wax.— A new golden-podded wax 
variety introduced for the lirst time in the .Autuuni of ISS'.i. We named 
it Sadrilc)iark by reason of tlic peculiar, form of the pods, which on the 
buck are unusually broad, flat and indented with a decided crease. So 
much flattened on back and front as to have the greatest thickness or 
diameter from side to side, which peculiar (juality cannot be pointed out 
for any other Bean. A novelty of rare merit, produi'ing ediljle pods jis 
early as Black Wax, larger, rounder, more pulpv and absoliuelv string- 
less ; more prolific, hardier than Black Wax or Golden Wax, and unques- 
tionably rust-proof Wc are not afraid of praising this Bean loo highly.
