BEAN NOVELTIES FOR SEASON 1891. 
Yosemite Mammoth Wax Bush Bean. 
Second only in value and distinctiveness to the Bush Lima, this wonderful wax variety is the forerunner to 
a race of giants among Beans. The cut is a faithful copy of a photographed specimen, but conveys no 
idea of its great size and handsome waxen appearance. The pods are nearly all solid pulp and absolutely 
stringlcss, cooking tender and delicious. The monster pods average 10 to 14 inches in length, as indicated by 
foot rule shown in the cut, and are a rich, golden color, making a handsome appearance either on the 
plant or on the table. The Yosemite combines size, productiveness and quality in one variety. The plant is a 
remarkably vigorous one, covering the ground with its heavy foliage in such a manner as to shade the earth 
and keep it moist; anti if the pods are kept closely picked, new ones will continue to he produced, and a mar- 
velously large crop will be obtained. The grower who originated this bean has produced some of the finest 
varieties now grown, and has had an experience in bean hybridization second to hone. He assures us that 6f 
all the beans it has been his privilege to rise, the Yosemite stande head and shoulders above them all and out 
strips them in cropping, marketable and other good qualities. Price, 25 cts. per pkt., 5 pkts. $1.
