BEANS 
YELLOW OR WAX-POD BUSH 
VARIETIES 
2 lbs. will plant 150 feet of row. 
To secure a succession of Dwarf Beans, make successive sowings from May 
till middle of July, in rows to 2 feet apart, covering the Beans 3 inches. Thin 
out to from 4 to 6 inches, and slightly earth up. Commence picking when pods 
are young, and the plants will thus continue producing for quite a time. Make 
rowings of Pole Beans about same time as dwarf varieties, in rows 6 to 9 feet apart, 
leaving 6 to 9 inches between plants. Stake when plants are well above ground. 
In "hills" drive in poles 4 feet apart, planting 4 or 5 beans round each, tying to 
poles as beans grow. (By mail, add 5c. on lb.). 
EWING'S MONTREAL WAX 
THE EARLIEST WAX PODDED VARIETY GROWN 
The plant is strong, dwarf, not too strongly branching. It bears an enormous 
crop of pods of a most beautiful semi-transparent pale yellow color. The hand- 
some fleshy pods are entirely stringless and of the finest quality. Lb. 60c. (post 
paid, lb. 70c.); H lb. 20c.; pkt. 10c. 
WARDWELL'S KIDNEY WAX 
A popular variety of Wax Bean, bearing long, flat pods, of a delicate waxy- 
yellow, stringless and brittle, producing a heavy crop. The pods mature later 
than Golden Wax, but are produced in great abundance. They are quite broad 
and very attractive. This variety has been a favorite for many years, and in 
some sections is largely grown by market-gardeners exclusive of all other sorts.

PENCIL POD BLACK WAX 
Plants of true bu^h growth, fifteen inches high, extremely productive; magni- 
ficent straight pods six to seven inches long, light golden yellow in color, beautifully 
rounded, meaty, and deeply saddle-backed; flesh brittle, solid, and entirely string- 
less, of a fine mild flavor. Lb. 60c. (post paid, lb. 70c.); % lb. 20c.; pkt. 10c. 
IMPROVED GOLDEN WAX 
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, thick, fleshy, tender and brittle, 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, whether planted in spring, summer or early fall, renders it highly 
valuable for both home and market planting. Lb. 55c. (post paid, lb. 65c.) 
H lb. 15c.; pkt. 10c. 
NEW HODSON WAX "Long Pod" 
This Bean is quite distinct from any other. None equals it in size of plant, 
vigor of growth or productiveness. When piclted young, it is extremely tender, 
and of fine quality. Bushes of strong, vigorous growth, producing a large crop of 
long, handsome, thick, fiat, yellow pods which are late in maturing and are free 
from blight or rust. Lb. 60c. (post paid, lb. 70c.); M 20c.; pkt. 10c. 
DAVIS WHITE WAX — The most hardy and productive Wax Bean. The pods 
are long, white, straight, crisp and tender. The vine is rustless and very 
vigorous, bearing the pods in clusters. Seed kidney-shaped and white. For 
canning this is unexcelled on account of the purity of the pod and Bean. lb. 
60c.; K lb. 20c.; pkt. 10c. ; (post paid, lb. 70c.) 
REFUGEE WAX— One of the very best of the wax-pod sorts. The plants 
produce an abundance of long, round wax-like pods, perfectly stringless, tender 
and of the finest quality. In color, the pods are a rich, creamy white. This 
variety is classed amon]^ the early sorts, coming into bearing about 40 days 
after planting, and contmuing in bearing for several weeks. It is certainly one 
of the best Beans for either the home garden or market, lb 55c.; yi 1*** ISc;
