Improved Golden Wax. 
VEGETABLE SEEDS 
We handle only vegetable seed of the finest quality. We carry in the main 
those varieties that over a period of years have appealed the most to our 
personal observations as being the best. We are sending our packet seed out 
in a 10c packet. Our observations lead us to believe that in many cases the 
5c packet does not carry quite enough seed for the average garden. For that 
reason we put out a 10c packet which simply gives one that much more seed. 
GOLDEN CLUSTER WAX. 74 days.

bean. Yields a heavy crop of ap¬
