WARDWELL'S DWARF KIDNEY WAX BEAN. 



Vines of medium size, erect, hardy and productive. Pods long, broad, flat, and of a delicate 

 waxy yellow, brittle and entirely stringless. Beans white, with two shades of reddish purple 

 more or less visible, and a distinct kidney shape. Prepared for the table, it has a fine buttery 

 flavor, and is destined to become the leading snap bean, as well as a strongly endorsed winter 

 shelled sort. The yield considerably exceeds that of the common Golden Wax, and it is 

 equally as early — a most acceptable and appreciable improvement. Price, per packet, 10 

 cents ; quart, 40 cents. 



LOW'S CHAMPION BUSH BEAN. 



An excellent shell bean, and as a string bean has but few if any equals. It is abundantly 

 productive, and being a very vigorous grower, keeps the pods well off. the ground, free from mil- 

 deAV or blight. The pods are large, long and handsome, with from five to eight beans in a pod. 

 The bean, when ripe, is a beautiful bright-red color, larger in size than the Horticulturial, and 

 of the finest flavor either green or dry. The foliage is remarkably strong and healthy; when the 

 beans are fully ripe it is green and vigorous and free from mildew. Quite hardy, and will stand 

 a severe frost* This bean yielded on one- eighth of acre, seven and one-half bushels, or at the rate 

 of sixty bushels to the acre of seed beans. Price, per packet, 10 cts. ; quart, 40 cts. ; peck,. $2.00. 



EARLY GOLDEN CLUSTER WAX POLE BEAN. 



The introducer speaks of it as follows : 

 " This new variety is an improvement on all 

 the good qualities of the Giant and Dwarf Wax. 

 It is distinct in seed, in color and habit of growth. 

 The pods retain their tenderness and plumpness 

 long after the beans have attained a large size, 

 so that only a few days elapse after they cease to 

 be string-beans before they are fit to shell. The 

 pods are a beautiful golden yellow, and are from 

 6 to 8 inches long, borne profusely in clusters of 

 4 to 6. Commencing to bear ten days after the 

 Golden Wax, it continues to produce an abun- 

 dance of pods until the frost sets in. Its cooking 

 qualities are excellent, and without doubt it will 

 become the standard pole-bean." 



Price,. per packet, 25 cents; half-pint, 50 eents 

 by mail, half-pint, 58 cents. 



DWARF MONT D'OR BEAN. 



A new wax bean from Germany, that will not 

 disappoint any one who gives it a trial. It is the 

 earliest of the wax varieties ; vines hardy, stout 

 and thrifty, and are very prolific; the pods are 

 crooked, and of a golden yellow color; seeds 

 almost black, and nearly round. Cannot be ex- 

 celled as a string or snap bean. Price, packet, 

 10 cents ; quart, 40 cents; peck, $2.00.
