New Monarch Wax 
Tbe Only “Sure Crop” Wax Bean Ever Grown. Heavy Yielder. Entirely Stringless. Large Pods. 
Beautiful Color. Sure Cropper. Crisp and Tender 
_ Our New_ Monarch Wax Bean is a very sturdy and vigorous grower and as near rust proof and 
disease resistant as it is possible for a bean to be. One of the earliest wax beans ever grown, 
starting to bear within 60 days after planting and continues its bearing season longer than most 
others. Pods are of splendid quality, fleshy, and are stringless at practically all stages of their 
growth. From 6 to 7 inches long by Vi inch through and almost round, they make a wonderfully 
heavy yield, and the beautiful golden yello.w color sells them easily. Seed is long, oval, medium 
size and purplish black color. In common with other black-seeded varieties, this bean may be 
planted quite early in the season. Practically rust proof, owing to the habit of the plant which 
branches freely but is perfectly sturdy and upright, every branch carrying a head of magnificent 
pods. As nearly all of the pods are- produced underneath the foliage, excessive heat does not 
aff_ect_ it in the least, a very valuable feature whether grown for home, the market garden or for 
shipping long distances. As a canning bean New Monarch is without an equal, as the pods are 
long enough to fill the jar and the beautiful color is retained after cooking. 2 oz. Pkt. 10c; Vz lb. 
25c; lb. 40c; 2 lb. 70c, postpaid. 
New Yosemite Mammoth Wax 
The pods frequently attain a length of 10 to 14 inches, with the thickness of a man’s finger, 
and are nearly all solid pulp, the seeds being very small when fit for use. They are of rich golden 
color and are absolutely stringless, cooking tender and delicious. 2 oz. 8c; Vz lb. 20c; lb. 35c; 
2 lb. 60c, postpaid.
