end of July. One pound will plant 50 feet of drill.

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 
cro^p of large, handsome pods, whether planted in 
spring or summer, renders it highly valuable for 
both home and market planting. K lb-. 18 cts.;
