NOVELTIES AND SPECIALTIES 
Be^ns—Michigan White Wax 
This splendid variety rnay be briefly described as a white seeded Golden Wax. It is one of the earliest of 
the dwarf, snap beans. The vines are very vigorous and unusually productive. 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 heretofore unattained in a bush bean of highest quality.* {See further description , page 22)

Beans—Baldwin Wonder Wax 
This variety is a most prolific, wax podded pole sort of excellent quality for snaps for the home garden. 
The vines are hardy and vigorous in growth, and when in condition for use as snaps the pods are very long, about 
seven inches, uniformly cylindrical, exceptionally brittle and stringless. The color is a very attractive light 
yellow. We consider Baldwin Wonder Wax the most desirable bean of its class yet introduced. {See further

Beans—Detroit Mammoth Lima 
This comparatively new pole lima bean is the largest podded of any variety of this class. The mammoth 
pods are nine to eleven inches long, medium dark green in color and contain five to seven beans of the most 
excellent quality. It comes into bearing medium early and the vines which are vigorous and strong growing 
are exceptionally productive. A variety of distinctive merit for the home garden. {See further description,

Corn—Charlevoix 
(Pronounced Shar-le-voy) 
The many favorable reports we have had on this variety confirm our opinion that it is the best yellow 
grained sweet corn yet introduced. This variety originated at Charlevoix, Michigan, where it was grown and 
selected for over fifteen years by one of the best gardeners in the state. The ears are about seven inches long, 
usually twelve rowed, and when in condition for use are deep creamy yellow in color. The grain is rather short, 
very sweet and tender and is unsurpassed in quality. In season it is about the same as Early Minnesota but 
remains in condition for use longer than most of the early or intermediate sorts. An excellent sort both for the 
home or market garden. 
We recommend a trial of this variety; you are sure to be pleased with it. {See illustration on cover and

Peas—Connoisseur 
This second early, very 
productive sort is especially 
recommended for the home 
garden. The vines which 
grow two and one-half to 
three feet high are everbear¬ 
ing in habit, vigorous grow¬ 
ing and quite branching. 
The pods which are abun¬ 
dantly produced are of good 
size, very attractive dark 
green color and are well filled 
with seven to nine peas of 
exceptionally good quality. 
While especially recom¬ 
mended for the home garden 
its productiveness and fine 
dark color also make it a 
desirable sort for the market 
gardener. Seed medium size, 
light green, wrinkled. {See
