Michigan White Wax Bean 
This splendid variety may be briefly described as a white 
seeded Golden Wax. It is one of the earliest bush or snap 
beans. The vines are very vigorous and unusually produc¬ 
tive. The pods are golden yellow, fully as attractive as our 
well known Golden Wax and of the same exceptionally fine 
quality. The seed is white, a most valuable feature hereto¬ 
fore unattained in a bush bean of highest quality. ( Sec cut

Kentucky Wonder Bean 
We believe this variety is the most practically useful of 
the green podded pole beans suitable for use as snaps. It 
is an early, very prolific sort, with showy pods which are of 
most excellent quality. The vines are vigorous, climbing 
well and very productive, bearing pods in large clusters 
The pods are green, very long, often reaching nine or ten 
inches, nearly round aud very crisp when young, becoming 
very Irregular and spongy as the beans ripen. The quality 
of our stock is unsur¬ 
passed. (See colored

Michigan White Wax 
Kentucky Wonder Wax Bean 
I his remarkably vigorous growing, wax podded po] 
bean is very similar to the well known green podde 
Kentucky Wonder, but pods are a little broader, ver 
fleshy and quite stringless as snaps. Its earliness an 
hardiness commend it as a pole bean well adapted eve 
for northern latitude Sj Its very large, golden yellot 
pods are certainly handsome in appearance and a're mi 
excelled in quality by any wax podded bean of its clast 
(.See colored plate. page /<?, and further description
