PLANT in rows two feet apart, dropping the beans three inches apart and covering two inches. They thrive upon light soils, which 
should be carefully prepared and manured lightly. Being\tender, they should not be planted until frosts are passed, as warm 
soil is needed, for their germination. For succession make plantings every two weeks until end of July. One lb. will plant 50 
feet of drill. One and one-half bushels will plant one acre.

The Standard Flat, Wax-Podded 
Variety. 
Sure-Crop Stringless Wax Beans. 
Currie's Rust Proof Wax — Thi s of the early- 
maturing Wax Beans, usu- 
ally rust-proof. The vines are vigorous, hardy and productive; 
pods are light yellow, oval-flat, 5 H to 6 inches long. One of our 
standard market-gardeners' sorts. Lb., 40 cts. (post paid, lb., 
50 cts.). 
Burpee's New Kidney Wax. — More robust in growth and more 
prolific than the popular Wardwell's Kidney Wax, — with 
longer pods, which are even more handsome in appearance, 
entirely stringless, more fleshy and, of much aner quality. Lb., 
50 cts. (post paid 60 cts.). 
Horticultural Wax. — One of the best for market gardeners; 
it does not rust; pods are always clear, waxy yellow. Must be 
picked quite young as pods become somewhat stringy as they 
mature. Per lb., 40 cts. (post paid, lb., 50 cts.) 
Burpee's White Wax. — The plants are exceedingly vigorous, 
enormously productive of long, handsome stringless pods; very 
solid and full of meat; crisp, brittle and free from rust; clear 
light wavy yellow-colored pods; unequalled either for the table 
or for market use. Lb., 50 cts. (post paid, lb., 60 cts.). 
Hod son Wax. — The plant is vigorous in growth and comes into 
crop about two weeks later than the early sorts. The pods of 
this variety often measure 7 to 8 inches in length and are 
remarkably free from spot or rust, and for flavor is unsurpassed. 
Lb., 40 cts. (post paid, lb., 50 cts.). 
Among the Yellow Wax-podded or 
"Butter" Beans, the Golden Wax 
has long been in popular favor, but this Improved 
variety by far surpasses the old favorite in several 
desirable points. The plants are of vigorous, bushy 
growth, not susceptible to rust, moderately early, 
and very prolific. The pods are exceedingly handsome, 
long, uniformly broad, thick and remarkably fleshy, of 
good quality, tender and brittle, absolutely without 
string or coarse fibre at all stages until maturity, while 
the color is of a rich golden-yellow. Although not the 
earliest Dwarf Wax Bean, its reliability in producing 
a heavy crop of large, handsome pods, whether planted 
in spring or summer, renders it highly valuable for both 
home and market planting. Lb., 40 cts. (post paid, 
lb., 50 cts.). 
Sure-crop Stringless Wax. — A valuable 
— new variety 
of Dwarf Wax Bean, which, while not related to the 
well-known Currie's Rust-proof Wax, bears a great 
resemblance to it in plant, pod and bean, but is entirely 
different in quality, as it is stringless and tender at all 
stages of its development. Plant is strong and holds 
pods well off the ground and will stand long seasons of 
wet weather. It is very productive, and bears the large 
golden-yellow pods in great abundance, and because 
of its being very hardy the seed may be planted early. 
Lb.. 50 cts. (post paid, lb., 60 cts.). 
This variety is 
an improved 
type of the Refugee Wax, to which it is far superior. 
The plants are of very robust growth and extremely 
productive, bearing an abundant crop of large, rich 
golden-yellow pods, which usually contain five beans 
each and are fit for table use at nearly all stages of their 
growth. Lb., 40 cts. (post paid, lb., 50 cts.). 
Davis Kidney Wax. — Plant vigorous, and of compact upright 
growth, with pods extra long, straight, oval, of a clear, waxy, 
white color, often seven to eight inches in length. Lb., 40 cts. 
(post paid, lb., 50 cts.). 
Wardwell's Kidney Wax. — One of the best Wax Beans, bearing 
long pods of a delicate waxy yellow, entirely stringless and 
brittle. Lb., 50 cts. (post paid, lb., 60 cts.). 
Stringless Refugee Wax. 
Your Sure-Crop Stringless Wax Beans are all 
you claim for them and more. They are almost 
absolutely without strings, even after fully matured.
