A splendid new bean, a selection from 
Wardwell’s Kidney \Yax, having en¬ 
tirely round pods instead of rather flattened, as in the Ward well's. Plants grow strong 
and sturdy, with long, round, handsome stringless pods of large size, very solid and full 
of meat, crisp and tender. Very early and productive, and has become very popular 
a nong both market and home gardeners. Stock very limited. Pkt., 10c.' pt 15c •

Griswold’s Everbearing Wax for7hefamiiy7ar%nVr 
by market. Is wonderfully productive and has handsome round yellow pods, which are 
tliick, fleshy, entirely stringless, growing six to seven inches in length, and exceedingly 
rich, buttery, and fine flavored when cooked. Their greatest value, however, is in their 
long-bearing character, beginning to bear early and continuing to produce’thelr mag¬ 
nificent pods in great abundance long after other varieties are done. We have counted 
many single vines with eighty to ninety pods ready for picking and a mass of blossoms 
on the same vine. The stalk is stiffer and branches out more than any other bean 
hence they should never be planted less than ten inches apart. Pkt. 10c.'14pt. 20c •

A.t.Ll»l X X Ul_»A VXIXXIXCXI TT <XAk years, and it always pleases our cus¬ 
tomers. It’s the best form of the Golden Wax Bean in existence, and “rust-proof” to a 
remarkable degree. Pods are long, almost straight, much fleshier and far superior to the popu¬ 
lar Improved Golden Wax, which we have dropped from our list because this "Rust-Proof” strain 
is so much better. Pkt., 10c.; % Pt.> 16c.; pt.,25c.; qt., 46c.; postpaid. Pk., 81.40; bu.,86.00.

XTCW XXUIXSUXI TT ttJk. so with Florida shippers. A strong, vigorous grower, with 
tough, healthy foliage. The pods are about six inches in length,nearly straight, thick, flat and 
meaty, very tender and of excellent quality. It is neither extra early nor very late in season,
