HOME VEGETABLE GARDENING 
POLE BEANS— WAX-PODDED KINDS 
F OREMOST among these ranks Golden Cluster W ax , 
deservedly popular for every purpose in the home 
garden. It is a dependable cropper on all kinds of soil. 
Where season and soil are favorable for strong development 
it bears pods in clusters of two and four large pods, six 
to eight inches long by three-quarter inches wide. They 
are perfectly stringless while young, flat and vary in 
color from creamy white to lemon yellow. Ready for 
use in seventy-five days. Dry beans are pure white. 
Kentucky Wonder Wax, as illustrated, is the yellow- 
podded companion to Old Homestead or green-podded 
Kentucky Wonder. It has all the admirable qualities 
of that popular favorite, and matures a week earlier. 
Golden Carmine Horticultural is a popular old variety 
in New England and other sections where the seasons are 
short and cool. The pods are hardly fit for use, being 
tough and stringy; but the handsomely marked dry beans 
are splendid for winter use.
