Dwarf Unrivalled Wax 
Dwarf Unrivalled Wax Bean 
A new dwarf wax sort of exceptional value on account of its earliness, great productiveness and extreme 
hardiness. The vines are large and vigorous with leaves similar to Golden Wax in color and shape but are a 
little larger. The handsome pods of good quality, borne in abundance well up from the ground, are longer 
than Golden Wax and a little lighter in color, are rather narrow and somewhat flattened but fleshy, and 
when in proper condition for use are very attractive on the market. It usually matures soon after our Golden 
Wax and is sometimes as early as that variety. We have found in our trials that Dwarf Unrivalled Wax 
seems to be hardier and frequently withstands unfavorable conditions better than any other wax variety. 
Recommended especially for market gardeners’ use. (See cut on this page and further description, page if) 
Pkt. 10c; Pt. 45c; Qt. 80c; 4 Qt*. $2.75; !4 Bu. $4.00 
Harlequin Bean 
This splendid new horticultural sort is earlier, more productive, and has much longer and more attractive 
pods than the well known London Horticultural or Speckled Cranberry, also hardier and a more reliable 
cropper. The large ovate beans are of the highest quality either green shelled or dry. Vines vigorous with 
large light colored leaves. Pods very long, six to seven inches, striped or splashed a deeper and more brilliant 
red than London Horticultural; dry beans a trifle longer. We consider this the most attractive and the finest 
bean of the Horticultural class. Pkt. 15c; Pt. 60c; Qt. $1.00 
Laxtonian Pea 
This handsome new wrinkled pea is the largest podded of the dwarf varieties on our list. The beautiful 
dark green pods are similar to Gradus in shape and splendid quality, are very nearly as large in size and 
mature a little earlier. The vines are vigorous and productive, averaging fifteen to eighteen inches high; 
foliage dark green. The very long size and dark green color of the pods commend the variety particularly 
for market gardeners’ use and the size, color and unsurpassed quality of green peas make them especially de¬ 
sirable for the table. We believe Laxtonian is one of the most valuable peas of recent introduction. (See 
colored plate opposite and further description, page 46) Pkt. lOc; Pt. 60c; Qt. $1.00 
Early Scarlet Turnip White Tipped Radish 
The stock we offer is exceptionally attractive in its splendid coloring. The scarlet is unusually deep and 
affords a very distinct and pleasing contrast with the large clear white tip. ( See colored plate opposite and 
further description, page 50) Pkt. 5c; Or. lOc; 2 Oz. 15c; % Lb. 25c; Lb. 80c.
