Detroit Wax 
The very’ hardy, productive, 
erect growing plants hear 
their pods near the center of 
the vine, but occasionally 
throw a stem above the 
leaves. Leaves large, dark 
green; blossoms small, white; 
pods straight, fiat, but thick 
to edge; proportionate y 
broader than the Golden Wax. They are frequently greenish-yellow when young, 
but, when well grown and fit for use they are or a beautiful golden wax color, and of 
good quality. We think this variety the least likely to rust of any, and the fact that 
seedsman sometimes offer it under other names as absolutely rust-proof, is evidence 
that they have foun 1 it as nearly rust proof as any wax bean. When picked at the 
same time as Golden Wax and other varieties, it keeps bright aud crisp long after the 
others are wilted aud unsalable, making it 
It is also one of the very best green shelled beans. The dry l>eans are white, with a 
patch of chocolate brown about the eye. They are like those of the White Marrow in 
shape, and fully as good for baking. Pkt. 10c; Pt. 25c; Qt. 35c; 4 Qts. $1.25;

Jones’ Stringless Wax 
A White Seeded Variety with Round, Stringless Pods of 
Unsurpassed Beauty and Quality. 
This is the result of crossing a white seeded sort with the 
Yosemite. and in it the good qualities of the latter variety are 
developed to a superlati ve degree, while its faults of shy bearing 
and imperfect pods are eliminated. The Jones’ Stringless 
Wax is wonderfully productive of uniformly well shaped 
and handsome pods. The plant is exceedingly hardy aud 
rust-proof. It matures the long, round, fle cliv 
stringless pods very early and ripens its crop of 
earlier than the earliest of our field beans. It 
prove a valuable sort for the farm as well as 
the garden. Pkt. loc; Pt. 50c; (|t. 85c 
Valentine Wax 
Our experience 
has proved this 
Bean to be re¬ 
markably early. The pods are thick and fleshy, 
with but verv little string; the plant is vigorous 
and productive, and it is a popular sort wherever 
known Pkt. 10c; Pt. 25c; Qt. 40c; 4 Qts. $1.50;

Refugee Wax 
We have taken es¬ 
pecial pains with 
this variety, which, 
as we grow it, is one of the very best in culti¬ 
vation. The stock we offer ts much superior to 
that commonly sold, being very early. Every 
plant can be depended upon to produce thick, 
fleshy, wax-like pods, of fine quality and of a 
clear, waxy-white color, non- of the plants 
being green-podded. Pkt. 10c; Pt. 25c; Qt. 40c;

dium sized, 
erect, bear¬

green. Pods long, straight, proportionately narrow, and 
rounder than those of the Golden Wax, arid of a lighter 
color. Dry beans medium sized, long, cylindrical, white, 
with black spot round the eye. As early as the Golden 
Wax, but not equal in earliness to the Challenge Black 
Wax. Pkt. 10c; Pt. 25c; Qt. 40c; 4 Qts. $1.50;

Keeney’s Rustless Golden Wax .. .. 
Early in the season this seems to be a pole bean, but the 
runners are short and soon become self-supporting. The pods, 
which are produced in wonderful profusion, are stringless, 
very white, wax-like and handsome. Pkt. 10c; Pt. 25c;

This is the most Hardy and Productive 
Bush, Wax-Podded Bean in Cultivation. 
All of the pods are very long, white, straight and hand 
some. The vine is rustless and very vigorous, hearing near 
the center many clusters, some of which extend above the 
foliage. When young the pods are very brittle, crisp, and 
tender. The dry beaus are kidney-shaped, clear, white, and 
excellent for baking. 
ONE OF THE BEST FOR SHIPPING 
AS SNAP BEANS, 
and of the greatest value for either the market or the home 
garden. The length, perfect shape and fine color of the pods, 
aud the clear, white seed make this 
One of the Best for Canners.*

which does not discolor in canning. Pkt. 10c; Pt. 30c; Qt. 46c.
