Beans—Michigan White Wax 
This splendid variety may 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 cut and 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 description , page 26) pkt. 15c; Lb. 60c; 2 Lbs. $1.10 
postpaid; 100 Lbs. $40.00 
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 de¬ 
scription , page 27) Pkt. 15c; Lb. 55c; 2 Lbs. $1.00 postpaid; 
100 Lbs. $37.50 
Corn—Charlevoix 
The many favorable reports we have had on this variety dur¬ 
ing the past two seasons confirm our opinion that it is one of the 
best yellow grained sweet corns 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 cut on this page and further description , 
page 37) Pkt. 15c; Lb. 50c; 2 Lbs. 90c. postpaid; 100 Lbs. $30.00 
Peas—Connoisseur 
This second early, very productive sort is especially recom¬ 
mended for the home garden. The vines which grow two and 
one-half to three feet high are everbearing in habit, vigorous 
growing and quite branching. The pods which are abundantly 
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 recommended 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 further description, page 33) pkt. 15c; Lb. 55c; 
2 Lbs. $1.00 postpaid; 100 Lbs. $35.00
