SURE Crop Stringless Wax 
ANEW VARIETY and apparently impervious to rust 
and damp wet weather. This is the first year wc 
have put it on the market but we are confi- 
dent of its excellent qualities and we arc 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 W.TX but is different in 
(juality as it is stringless and ten- 
der at all stages of development. 
The plant grows to medium size, 
has a long, thick stem, and stands 
up well during a long season of 
stormy weather, thus protecting 
the pods from dust and dampness. 
It is extremely hardy and the seed 
may be planted early and is very productive, 
bearing large, handsome golden yellow pods 
•n great abundance. — Packet lOc, pint 30c., quart 50c., 
peck $1.75. 
Black Wax Improved Prolific 
AN e,\cei,i,i;nt new varietv, originated from the 
old Hldck IVa.K 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 prolific than the Black Wax and its 
pods are remarkable in that they are longer, 
rounder and straighter than those of any other 
dwarf varieties. 'Phey 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 house. Try this on our 
guarantee as the best. — Packet lOc, pint28c., 
quart 45c., peck $1.75.

The Davis Kidney Wax Bean 
THIS IS WITHOUT DOUBT the most hardy and pro- 
duct::Y of all the wax podded bush beanu 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 are very straight and the seeds kidney shaped 
and clear white. For shipping as snap beans, and as a 
market varietv, this sort is unexcelled. — Packet lOc, pint 
28c., quart 40c., peck $1.75. 
"/ must say that the Davis Kidney IVax Bean is the best bearer I have ever grown 
: for size, hearing and fiamr; the plants being Jutl all summer and fall."

"The Black Wax Improved Prolific Beans just simply beat anything in the way of 
IVeix Beans I ever sazv both for Productiveness and quality, many vf the pods being a 
foot in length and tender anii delicately flavored as it is possible for a bean to be. I 
had the first on the 8th of June, :rhich :t'as way ahead of any one else in this section 
for Wax Beans." Mr. T/fOMJS P. JONES, Crifin, Ga. 
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 
arc straight and flat, 5 inches in length and i inch broad. They are a rich golden yellow 
in color; brittle, lender 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 28c., quart 50c., peck $2.00.
