Wax or French Beans. 
Culture. —One quart for ioo feet of drill, 2 bushels for an acre. In our latitude, Beans should not 
be planted until the first or second week in May, or when the ground has become warm and all danger 
of frost is past. A succession of sowings may 
be made until August. Plant in drills, about 2 
inches deep, and from 18 inches to 2 feet apart, 
according to the richness of the soil ; the poorer 
the soil the closer they may be planted. The 
seeds should be dropped about 3 inches apart. 
Davis Kidney Wax. Undoubtedly the 
finest market variety in existence. Pods 7 to 
9 inches in length, creamy white in color, 
straight and handsome. Entirely free from 
rust, and exceedingly prolific. Pkt. 10 cts., 
qt. 30 cts., pk. $2.

robust and hardy variety, producing a heavy 
crop of long, broad, flat pods of a delicate 
waxy yellow, entirely stringless ; extremely 
tender; of excellent flavor. Qt. 30c., pk. $2.

grower, enormously productive and of fine 
Longfellow Bean. quality ; a great improvement on the old

yellow color ; entirely stringless ; will not rust. Pkt. 10 cts., qt. 35 cts., pk. $2.50.

fact, combined with its 
earliness, makes it one 
of the most profitable 
sorts for the gardener.

early green-podded
