POME VEGETABLE GARDENING 
WAX-PODDED BUSH BEANS 
J^IIE Flat-podded Kinds. 
x Wax or yellow-podded beans are unquestionably 
handsomer in appearance when served in certain fashions. 
As to the relative quality of wax- and green-podded sorts, 
even experts disagree. Wax-podded sorts are perhaps 
of milder (or less) flavor than the green-podded. 
Burpee’ s New Kidney Wax (No. i) surpasses old Ward- 
well’s in every way. Pods straight, six and a half inches 
long, half inch wide, light yellow, perfectly stringless at all 
stages. Ready in sixty days after sowing and good for 
six weeks thereafter. Color, light yellow. 
Sure Crop Wax (No. 2) is a most bountiful yielder some- 
what resembling New Kidney Wax , but the seeds are black, 
pods slightly thicker and more generally borne in clusters. 
Ready in sixty-four days after planting and the dark 
yellow pods are produced until frost. 
Hodson Wax is the yellow-podded brother to Hodson 
Green Podded described on page 53. Both are alike 
in season of bearing, heavy yielding qualities, and stringy 
character when old.
