HlardwcU’s Kidney 5Uax.... 
The very strong growing vines of this variety yield a large crop of long, nearly straight, very 
white, wax-like, handsome pods. These are of good quality and always command a ready sa ,e j 
making the variety one of the most profitable for the market gardener. It matures about 
the same time as the Golden Wax. The dry beans are large, kidney shaped, white, with 
dark markings about the eye. Pkt. 10c; Pt. 80c; qt. 45c; 4 qts. $1.50; Bushel $h.o0

PROLIFIC GERMAN WAX, Black Seeded.. 
We are so thoroughly satisfied with this improved strain of Black V ax that 
we have discarded the old stock altogether. this being more vigorous and far more 
productive, with a longer, whiter, more fleshy pod. Vines medium sized, very vigor¬ 
ous and hardy. Flowers reddish-w hite or purple. Pods medium length, borne well 
up among the foliage, curved, cylindrical, fleshy and of a clear, waxy-white color, 
with long, slightly curved point; remain a long time in condition for use as snaps 
Beans small, oblong, jet black. No one can afford to plant the old Black Wax or 
Butter Bean, as this is much better in every respect. _ r . r A

x>ck of Red Valentine which can be compared with that we offer in tenderness

alentine are offered under slightly varying names, each claiming to be a great 
nd distinct improvement. We have carefully examined them all. both in trials 
nd in large fields, and have found none that we are willing to substitute for 
Id stock, which combines in a high degree all the good qualities or the sort,

BEST OF ALL. The har.’y, vigorous vine produces an abundance of very straight, 
handsome pods which when fit for use ns snaps are very 
brittle and of a peculiar deep green color. As the pods mature 
they become lighter in color and splashed with bright red. 
When fit for use as green shelled, the beans are large, mottled 
with red, very tender and of fine quality. The dry beans are 
mottled in two shades of red. Oue of the hardiest and best 
of the green podded varieties.

podded kind, fur¬
