WAX PODDED VARIETIES 
IMPROVED GOLDEN WAX. This is a vast 
improvement on the old strain of Golden Wax. 
The new strain is so much hardier and less liable 
to blight or rust that it has become one of the 
most desirable of the wax podded varieties. 
Pods are 3 VI to 4 inches long, flat, straight, 
meaty and of highest quality. 
RUST PROOF GOLDEN WAX. The vines are 
vigorous, the foliage abundant and absolutely rust 
proof. It is early, very productive and as a 
market variety it is unsurpassed. 
UNRIVALLED WAX. A new Wax Bean—Early, 
prolific and lucious. This bean is early, hardy, very 
prolific, entirely stringless, and as good, in quality 
and productiveness as Burpee’s Stringless Green 
Pod. Unrivalled Wax grows upright, bearing the 
beans well off the ground and is loaded with large, 
handsome pods. The pods average six inches in 
length, are light yellow in color, well filled and 
meaty; they are entirely stringless and of the most 
delicious flavor. It is the most prolific bush bean 
we know of, and this combined with its large, hand¬ 
some, delicious, stringless pods, makes it most 
valuable for any and every purpose. 
BUSH LIMA BEANS 
NEW WONDER BUSH LIMA. Earlier and 
more prolific than Burpee’s. The plants are large, 
compact and very prolific. The pods are green, 
uniform and large, and excellent quality. 
DEEEE’S BUSH LIMA. Is the bush form ol 
Dreer’s Pole Lima. It is very early in maturing 
and productive. 
BURPEE’S EUSH LIMA. Grows eighteen to 
twenty inches high, and is very productive. 
HENDERSON’S BUSH LIMA. Smallest of the 
dwarf Limas and at least a week the earliest. 
DAVIS’ KIDNEY WAX. 
DAVIS’ KIDNEY WAX. The pods are long, 
straight, of a waxy white color, do not stain in 
canning, and are very brittle, crisp and tender. 
The vines are vigorous and well nigh rustproof. 
It is positively the most productive wax bean in 
existence and remains fresh and brittle long 
after picking, making it an excellent shipper. It 
is also unequalled for baking. 
W A RDWELL’S KIDNEY WAX. The large 
size, fine appearance and good quality of the 
pods make this one of the most popular varieties 
of wax beans. The plant is upright in growth, 
bearing broad, flat pods of light waxy color and 
6 to 6 inches in length. 
ROUND POD KIDNEY WAX. The pods of this 
new variety are perfectly round, long and en¬ 
tirely stringless. It fully equals its parent, the 
well known Wardwell’s Kidney Wax, in every re¬ 
spect. It is decidedly an acquisition. 
PROLIFIC BLACK WAX. The most improved 
type of the Black Wax Bean, combining the 
qualities of earliness, productiveness and size of 
pod with excellent flavor and handsome appear¬ 
ance. Easily harvested, free from rust.

round pod early Wax Bean. It has a bushy 
growth, height 15 inches; is extremely produc¬ 
tive. Pods are straight, round, six to seven inches

for the market gardener. The flat lemon-yellow

one of the earliest wax varieties, and an enorm¬ 
ous yielder. It is disease resistant, hardy and 
altogether a very dependable sort.

more care in culture than the bush beans and

beans in a hill, leaving a space in the center for 
the pole

SCARLET RUNNER. Chiefly grown for its 
brilliant scarlet flowers. 
XING OF THE GARDEN LIMA. Vines very 
vigorous and productive. Pods five to six inches 
long, filled with four or five immense white beans 
of the finest quality. On account of its large 
pods it is a favorite with market gardeners. It 
will come into bearing sooner and will make 
larger pods if not more than two vines are left 
to grow on a pole. Seed very large, ovoid, flat, 
with slight greenish tinge.

very popular in the central and southern states 
for planting among corn. It will give a good

are about 6 inches long, perfectly round and 
stringless. Dry, white beans are excellent for
