BRITTLE WAX. This is without a doubt the earliest of all wax beans and also a great cropper. 
The bushes are remarkably hardy and extremely prolific, while the pods are fleshy and entirely string¬ 
less, often measuring 4 % to 6 inches. Fine flavor, round and solid, tender, brittle and entirely string¬ 
less at all stages of growth. The beans are white except for small black dot near the eye. Also fine 
as a shell bean. 
t 
PENCIL POD BLACK WAX. One of the finest strains of wax beans known. It is very early, 
enormously productive and of the very best quality. It has long, slender handsome pods, that cook 
so tender they melt in the mouth, and are the most delicious bean we have ever found. 
IMPROVED GOLDEN WAX. Is one of the 
earliest and best of the wax beans. The plants 
are erect, compact and very productive. The 
pods are medium size, broad and fleshy. The 
quality is very fine. 
Shell Beans 
DWARF GOLDEN CARMINE. This splendid 
bean can be used either as a snap or shell bean. 
When ripe, owing to its large seed, makes a 
fancy baking bean. It has a large, broad, long, 
golden-yellow pod, splashed with bright carmine. 
At all stages, the pod is entirely stringless and 
tender, making it very desirable as a snap 
variety. The seed is large, kidney-shaped, buff- 
colored, and mottled. 
DAVIS WHITE WAX. A popular white seed¬ 
ed, wax podded bean of superior merit. The pod 
is large and when young is crisp and tender. 
One of the main uses of this variety, however, 
is as a dried bean for winter use, for which pur¬ 
pose it is unsurpassed. 
DWARF HORTICULTURAL, or “Cranberry 
Bean.” This well known bean is very sturdy and 
prolific. The beans, which are speckled, bright 
red on a yellowish ground, are quite large and 
uniform and are very fine either for eating as 
green shell beans or as dried beans for winter 
use. There are few beans which will surpass the 
Dwarf Horticultural, either in quality or sure¬ 
ness of yield. 
BOSTON PEA BEAN. Also called White Navy. This is the best of the small white beans known 
as navy beans for the Northwest. The bean is small, oval, white and of excellent flavor for baking. 
The plant does not run to vine and the leaves are few and drop early. 
GREEN-POD BUSH BEANS 
TENDERGREEN. A very desirable sort for either home garden or market. The plants are large, 
erect and productive. Pods round, fleshy, dark green, strictly stringless, and of fine quality. Seed are 
brown, mottled and blotched with light fawn. 
HENDERSON’S BOUNTIFUL. A new green pod bush bean. Vigorous vines, very prolific, and 
very early. Large, flat, green pods, entirely free from strings or tough lining, that snap brittle, cook 
tender, and are of delicious flavor. We have tried it for several years and have found it to be most 
excellent in every respect. 
STRINGLESS GREEN POD. The first pods of this splendid bean are ready for use about 05 days 
after planting. They remain tender and crisp a long time after they reach full size and are tender, 
brittle, and entirely stringless. Very productive.
