five and one-half to six inches long. Seed long, oval, rounded at ends, medium

p, riT • it i ,,, A new dwarf wax sort of exceptional value 
L/Wart Unrivalled Wax on account of its earliness, great productive¬ 
ness 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 ns 
early as that variety. We have found in our trials that it seems to be hardier 
and to withstand some unfavorable conditions better than any other wax variety. 
Seed small, flat, slightly kidney shaped; color ochre-brown. Recommended 
especially for market gardeners’use. (See cut in Supplement , page A) Pkt. 10c;
