J. I s 
Sure Crop Stringless Wax 
ANEW VARIETY and apparfnlly impernouj to rust 
and damp wet weather. This is the first year we 
have put it on the market but we are confi- 
dent of its excellent qualities and we are at 
once listing it among the specialties as the 
Wax Bean that will give more general satis- 
faction than any other. It bears a 
strong resemblance to Curries' 
Rust Proof Wax but is different in 
quality as it is stringless and ten- 
der at all stages o{ development. 
The plant grows to medium size, 
has a long, thick stem, and stand.*, 
up well during a long season of 
stormy weather, thus protectirg 
the pods from dust anc* dampness. ' 
It is extremely hardy > nd the se^d 
may be planted early and is very producti ve, 
bearing large, handsome golden yellow p ds 
•n great abundance. — Packet lOc, pint 20c., quart 3'ic., 
peck $1.75. 
Black Wax Improved prolific 
AN EXCELLENT NEW VARiETV, originated irom the 
old Slack IVax and so highly bred and select- 
ed that it excels all other varieties in the qualities 
most essential to successful bean culture. It is 
much more prol fic than the Black Wax and its 
pods are remarkable in that they are longer, 
rounder and straighter than those of any other 
dwarf varieties. They are free from strings, and 
are meaty, tender and brittle. It is hard for us 
to believe that a better Black Wax Bean could be 
^ furnished by any seed hoiLse. Try this on our 
guarantee as the best. — Packet lOc, pint20c.,

THE Davis Kidney Wax bean 
THIS 13 WITHOUT doubt tht most hardy and pro- 
ductive of all the wax podded husk beans. The 
vine is rustless and a vigorous grower, bearing its pods 
in clusters near the center where they are well shaded 
from the hot sun, which keeps them white, tender and 
brittle, stringless and free from fibre if picked young. 
The pods arc very straight and the seeds kidney shaped 
nd clear white. For shipping as snap beans, and as a 
market variety, this sort is unexcelled. — Packet lOc, pint 
20c., quart 30c., peck $1.75. 
■■/ must say that the Darif Kidney IVax Bean is the best bearer J have ever groicn 
for size, bearing and flavor; the plants being full all summer and fall." 
L. S. HANSON, Springfield, Mo. 
''The Black Wax Improved Prolific Beans just simply beat anything in the '.eayof 
IVax Beans I ever sa:c both for producltKness and quality, many of the pods being a 
foot in length ami lender and delicately flavored as it is possible for a bean to be. I 
had the first on the Sth of June, which u as uiay ahead of any one else in this section 
for IVax Beans." Mr. THOMAS P. JONES, Origin, Co. 
Wardwell'S Kidney Wax 
THIS VARIETY is of Strong, upright, bushy growth, about 15 inches in height, and is re- 
markable for its productivity as well as the size and quality of its beans. The pods 
are straight and flat, 5 inches in length and | inch broad. They arc a rich golden yellow 
in color; brittle, tender and entirely stringless. They are an especially good variety for 
the market gardener who wants a maximum of return for a minimum of labor, and al- 
though not one of the earliest maturing of the dwarf bush beans they make up for it in 
size, quality and duration of yield. The seed is large, kidney shaped, white with dark 
markings about the eye. — Packet lOc, pint 20c., quart 30c., peck $1.75.
