LANDRETHS’ 
“SEEDS WHICH SUCCEED" 
BUSH BEANS—Wax or Golden Podded—Continued 
Round Podded Kidney Wax or Brittle Wax— 
56 Days 
Color of bean, white with black eye. Pods, round, 
slightly curved, very handsome appearance, ex¬ 
tremely brittle, and 5 to 6 inches long, containing 
6 or 7 beans. Light yellow, absolutely stringless 
and very meaty and fiberless. A great favorite in 
certain sections of Pennsylvania. Strong growing 
vine with broad large rough leaves. Quality of the 
best. However, we do not consider it as good a 
bean as our strain of Pencil Pod Black Wax. A shy 
producer of seed. 
Sure Crop Wax—58 Days 
Color of seed purplish black, resembling Currie’s 
Rustproof. Height of vine, 16 to 18 inches. Pods 
about 6 inches long, containing 6 to 7 beans. Pods 
golden yellow, flat, not as wide as Golden Wax but 
longer and absolutely stringless, with little fiber. 
We believe this bean should take the place of Curries 
Rustproof because it is stringless, which makes it a 
superior variety although it is about 6 days later. 
Sometimes called Bountiful Wax. 
Unrivalled Wax—50 Days 
Color of seed resembles Bountiful only smaller. 
Pods semi-round, stringless, deep yellow, narrow, 
brittle. Longer and lighter in color than Golden 
Wax. 5 inches long. As early as Golden Wax. 
Wardwells Kidney Wax—56^Days 
Color of seed, white with purplish eyes and kidney 
shaped. Pods, brittle and of fine texture, about 6 
inches long, flat, meaty, absolutely stringless, 
almost straight, containing 5 or 6 beans in the aver¬ 
age pod. Color of pods, golden yellow and very 
handsome. We believe this to be the best flat pod, 
Wax Bean in the market, and it cannot be recom¬ 
mended too highly. A very shy seed producer. 
Weber Wax or Cracker jack—48 Days 
Height of vine, 14 to 15 inches. Pods average about 
6 inches long, containing 5 or 6 beans. Very much 
resembles Curries Rustproof. Absolutely stringless 
when young. Pods, flat, long, but not as broad as 
Curries. Seed, yellow with white eye, kidney 
shaped. Vines, very hardy. A very early, very 
productive good wax bean, highly recommended to 
Market Gardeners.
