Among green beans, the Refugee type has 
always been most valuable. This wax variety 
has all the peculiar characteristics of the old 
Refugee, such as small, dense foliage, great 
productiveness, roundness of pod and handsome 
appearance. It will readily be seen that the 
advantages gained in producing a wax form of 
this must be great. It produces an enormous 
crop of pods of a clear, transparent color. It 
remains tender longer than any other wax sort, 
and is practically ever-bearing. It is absolutely free from rust, 
and its dense habit of growth renders it proof against long- 
continued drought. This feature is valuable, and this is the 
only Wax Bean that we know of that possesses it. (See cut.)

A striking acqui- 
sition has been obtained in the list of Wax Beans through the introduction of this variety. 
Up till now there has been no variety of such prominence among Wax Beans that could 
compare with that of the Valentino among green Beans. We now have an excellent Wax- 
podded variety possessing in a remarkable degree the excellent features of this sort. 
It is very early for a Wax Bean. A planting made on June 12 th gave us a fair picking by July 28th-4G days. 
Its value as a shipper remains to be proved, but it is certainly very tender, and it is almost without string; 
in fact, the pod is free from any toughness whatever, 
but is remarkably solid throughout. It is handsome 
in appearance, and while it is fair to say that we

have not yet seen it exposed to conditions con¬ 
ducive to the development of rust, it has been so 
free from that evil that we think it will prove to 
be almost rustless. (Seecut.) 10c. pkt., 20c. pt., 
40c. qt., SI.75 peck, S6.00 bushel. 
KEENEY'S RUSTLESS = = 
Q OLDEN WAX BEAN. 
Absolutely Stringless, Very Prolific, 
Positively free from Rust. 
A strong-growing bush variety of remarkable 
vigor and freedom from rust; it sends out short 
tendrils on which pods are formed in addition to 
those near the central stalk of the plant, which 
accounts for its wonderful productiveness, amount¬ 
ing, under favorable conditions, to 100-fold. 
The pods are meaty and well Tilled, thick-flat 
when young and semi round later; of rich yellow 
color and fine quality, and entirely stringless 
throughout, even when old enough to shell. They 
are also free from that parchment-like lining which 
makes many varieties tough, unless when very 
young. If the pods arc picked as fast as formed, 
the plant continues to furnish a bountiful supply 
for an unusually long season. 10c. pkt., 20c. pt., 
40c. qt., $1.75 peck, SG.00 bushel.

This variety is very hardy, and both pod and 
plants are more robust than usual for a Wax Bean. 
The shape of the beans is distinct from till other 
Wax varieties, being of a perfect kidney shape. 
It produces a heavy crop of purely AVax pods, 
which are very long, flat, showy, and not liable to 
rust or blister. Very early. 10c. pkt., 20c. pt., 
30c. qt., $1.35 peck, $5.00 bushel.
