the same ground. Very early and productive. Pkt. 5c, pt. 30C, qt.

attention among the bean growers of this country on account of its 
being rust proof. It is positively proof against that most destruc- 
tive cncmv of all beans, the rust. It has been tested thoroughly in 
all sections, and grown side by side for several years with other wax 
beans, all of them more or less aflected by rust, many of them com- 
pletelv 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 most delicious flavor. The pods are 
long, nearly straight, broad, flat and of a nch golden yellow.

Golden Eyed Wax. 
COLDEN EYED WAX. 
This is reallv one of the most 
valuable varieties for eithci pri- 
vate or market garden purposes. It is as early as either the 
Black or Golden Wax sorts, and has a peculiar value in the fact 
that it is nearly always exempt from rust. The pods are often a 
foot in length, "excecifingly succulent and tender. It is an enor- 
mously productive variety.' Pkt. sc pt. 2SC, qt.4SC,pk. $1.50, bu. $5.00. 
(See cut.) The shipper's and 
market gardener's bean. Keep- 
ing qualities unequalled. Yields heavily in any good soil. It is 
almost perfectly free from rust which is* so apt to prevail on the 
other wax varieties, and for keeping qualities it stands at the head. 
It is not as tenfler as some of the other varieties. Vines large, bear- 
ing pods well ofl' the ground. Pods same as the Golden Wax, only 
not quite as thick, and more liable to be stringy. Beans medium 
Size and white, with yellow spot about the eye. Pkt. sc, pt. 20c.

Up till now there has been no sort of such prominence

excellent features of this sort. It is very early for a Wax
