NEW VALENTINE WAX BEAN 
This new variety, first offered four years ago, lias rap¬ 
idly become popular with market gardeners on account of 
its extreme earliness and great productiveness. It is an im¬ 
proved Round Pod Extra Early Valentine, with handsome 
round yellow or wax pods. It is the enrliest wax bean yet 
produced. Planted June 18tli, pods over four inches long 
were picked July 25th. Pods very meaty, entirely string- 
less, entirely free from rust, and of the best quality. Market 
and family gardeners will make no mistake in planting it 
largely. Pint, 20c.; qt., 40c.; peck, 81.25 ; bush., S4.50. 
IMPROVED RUST-PROOF GOLDEN WAX. 
(GrennelPs Strain.) 
This variety is rapidly superseding the well-known 
Golden Wax, which has for many years been a great favor¬ 
ite with both market gardeners and private planters. It 
originated with Mr. W. II. Grenncll, a large bean grower of 
New York State, and from whom we originally obtained our 
seed. It is among the earliest and hardiest of all the Wax 
Beans. The pods are straight, long, larger and thicker than 
the Golden Wax, much superior in quality. It outyielded 
the Golden Wax two to one in past seasons. There are two 
strains of ‘‘Improved Golden Wax” on the market, but 
Grennell’s strain, as offered by us, will be found decidedly 
the best. Pint, 20c.; qt., 40c.; peck, 81.10; bush., S4.00. 
KEENV’S NEW STRINGLESS REFUGEE WAX 
This new variety originated with N. B. Keeny <fc Son, 
the well-known bean experts of New York State. It is a 
perfect Refugee, with wax pods that are long, round and of 
golden yellow color, remaining tender longer than other 
wax sorts; immensely productive and practically everbear¬ 
ing. It is free from rust, and its dense habit of growth ren¬ 
ders it proof against long-continued drought. It is suitable 
for early or late sowing. When sown in the spring it will 
give seed in time for a second crop in the fall. Keeny’s 
new strain of this variety is entirely stringless and much 
superior to the Refugee Wax as introduced a few years 
since. They arc not only one of the best for general use, but 
the best and only perfect Wax Bean for canners’ use. 
Pint, 25c.; qt., 45c.; peck, SI.35; bush., S5.00. 
DAVIS WHITE KIDNEY WAX 
Originated by Eugene Davis, of Michigan. The plant is 
vigorous and healthy, of compact, upright growth, carrying 
its pods on the centre and well up from the ground. The 
pods are very long, oval, clear waxy-white color, showing 
no tendency to string until they approach maturity. The 
large, white, handsome kidney-shaped dry beans are very 
attractive and excellent for baking. Pint, 20c.; qt., 40c.; 
peek, 81.25; bush., $4.50.
