SURE Crop Stringless Wax 
ANEW VARIETY and apparently impervious 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 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 earl)' and is very productive, 
bearing large, handsome golden yellow pods 
in great abundance. — Packet lOc, pint 30c., quart 50c., 
peck $2.00. 
BLACK Wax Improved Prolific 
AN E,\cKLi,ENT NEW VARIETY, Originated from the 
old Hlrick Wax and so highly bred and select- 
ed that it e.\cels 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 straiehter than those of any other 
. dw'arf varieties. They are free from strings, and 
are meaty, tender and brittle. It is hard for uf 
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 4Sc., peck $1.75. 
The Davis Kidney Wax Bean 
HIS IS WITHOUT DOUBT the niosi hardy and pro- 
ductive of all the wax podded bush beans. The 
vine is rustless and a vigorous grower, bearing its pods 
in clusters near the center w'here they are well shaded 
from the hot sun, which keeps them while, 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 variety, this sort is unexcelled. — Packet lOc, pint 
28c., quart 40c., peck $1.75. 
"/ must say lhal the Davis Kidney Wax Bean is the best bearer I have ever groum 
for size, bearing and fiavor; the plants being full ail summer and fall."

"The Black Wax Improved Prolific Beans just simply beat anything in the way of 
Wax Beans I ever saw both for productiveness and tjuatity, many of the pods being a 
foot in length and tender and delicately flavored as u is possible for a bean to be. _ / 
had the first on the 3th of June, which was way ahead of any one else in this section 
for Wax Beans." Mr. THOMAS P. JONES, Grifin, Go. 
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 J inch broad. They are 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 28c., quart SOc, peck $2.00.
