Culture. — About the first of May, select a warm, ury ohc!*.*rcd spot, di^ and manure 
slightly ; make drills two inches deep and two feet apart ; drop the beans three inches apart in 
the drill, and cover not more than two inches deep, keep hoed, when not wet, and the weeds 
killed. Sow every two weeks for a succession. 
The New Bean. — Cylinder Ivory Pod Wax, black seed. This is without doubt one of 
the most productive and handsome of all \V.'iX Heans 3'ct known. Originated from a cross 
between Ivory Fod and Black AVax by the originator of Ivorj' Pod. The vines arc of strong, 
rapid growth and of a somewhat spreadinj^ habit, forming a large number of short side 
shoots which are a complete mass of blossoms and pods from the ground to the top, its pro- 
ductiveness being limited only by lack of fertility and moisture to sustain the crop, the field 
presenting a purple shade from the number of blossoms proditccd. The pods are long, per- 
fectly round, and entirely stringless: when 3'oung being all solid pulp, of ivory white color 
in the shad , varj-ing to a delicate light golden j-ellow in the sun. 
Jtfs perfectly free from rust or spots, keeping bright and crisp long »ft r being picked, 
and of exceptionally fine flavor. Vnlike other wax sorts (with the exeeption of Ivory Pod) 
the pods do not require to be left on the vines until nearly full grown to obtain the wax-like 
shade so desirable for an attractive market sort, but have the desired color soon after they 
are f rm d. Being as early as the Improved Black Wax they can be marketed in advance of 
that sort. When dry the seed are of medium size, very black, plump and smooth. Pkt, 
5 cents; pint, 35 cents"; quart, 60 cents. 
Kust Proof Golden Wax. —A new and valuable variety that 
is attracting considerable attention among the bean growers of 
this country on account of its being KUST PROOF. It is posi- 
tively proof ag'ainst that most destructive enemy of all beans, 
the rust. It has been tested thoroughly in all sections, and grown 
side by side for scTeral years with other wax Beans, all of them 
more "or less aflccted by rust, many of them completely ruined, 
and this variety has remained entirely free from it. Another 
most desirable feature about this splendid Bean is that it is always 
crisp, tender and of the mckst delicious flavor. Pkt., 10 cents; pint, 
30 cents; quart, GO cents. 
Perfection Wax Bean. — This is undoubtedly one of the finest 
Wax Beans in cultivation. Originated with one of the most ex- 
perienced bean growers in this country who spent nearly eight 
years in bringing this splendid Bean to the state of perfection he de- 
sired, before oflering it to the public. As early as the Golden 
Wax, and far more vigorous m grrowth and productiveness. 
It is unequalled by anv of the dwarf Wax Beans, the plants being 
loaded with large, golden yellow pods of splendid appearance 
and the finest quality. Entirely stringless, very tender and of 
the richest flavor. Pkt., 5 cents; pint, 85 cents; fjuart, 60 cents. 
Detroit Wax — One of the handsomest and hardiestof the was. 
Beans, wonderfully productive leaves large dark green, blossoms 
small, white pods straight, flat, but thick to the edge, and consider- 
ably broader than theGoldenWax. Theydonottumtoawaxeolor 
so early ,but when wellgrow .iandfitforuse, they areof aclear golden 
color, and of the finest texture. We have never seen a pod of this 
variety which had rusted, and when planted by the side of the com- 
mon Golden Wax and others in the field, they have remained per- 
fectly free from rust, while the others suffered 
freatly.nndinmany casesproved unfit formarket. 
t is one of the grandest beans we have ever 
fTO¥m, and for growers of beans for the market 
here is no variety that can equal the Detroit Wax. 
Try it. Pkt. 5c., pt. 30c., qt. 50e.
