The Hodson Long-Pod Dwarf Wax Bean. 
Enormous Plant—Enormous Pod—Enormous Yield. 
A distinct, new type of Wax Bean ; the plants grow nearly 2§ 
feet high by 2 feet across, and bear enormous quantities of slim" 
but plump, meaty pods 7 to 8 inches long, and of a waxy cream- 
yellow color. The luxuriant foliage shelters the pods from the hot 
sun, rendering them exceptionally tender, brittle, free from fibre, 
and if picked before too old they are stringless. This variety is 
such a remarkably sturdy grower that in consequence it is immune 
from bean diseases, foliage and pods being free from rust, blight, 
etc. It comes in about 2 weeks later than early beans. For both the 
private and the market gardener this bean will be of great value.

The Perfection of Cylinder-podded Dwarf Wax Beans. 
Improved Golden Wax bean. 
The Standard Flat, Wax-Podded Variety. 
Among the Yellow Wax-Podded or “Butter” Beans, the 
Golden Wax has long been in popular favor, but this Improved 
variety by far surpasses the old favorite in several desirable 
points. The plants, are of vigorous, bushy growth, not 
susceptible to rust, moderately early and very 
prolific. The pods are exceedingly handsome, large, 
uniformly broad, thick and almost all solid flesh, 
of good quality, tender and brittle, absolutely 
without string or coarse fibre at all stages until 
maturity, while the color is of a rich golden- 
yellow. Although not the earliest dwarf wax 
bean, its reliability in producing a heavy 
crop of large handsome pods, whether 
sown in spring, summer or early fall, 
renders it highly valuable for both 
home and market planting. (See

T HIS new round-podded Dwarf Wax Bean', the latest 
applicant for popular favor, has attained the 
top notch of perfection among beans of this 
class. It has been so highly bred and selected that 
it excels all others in its combination of essential 
qualities, among which we mention remarkable 
uniformity in size and shape. It produces no 
culls, the pods average five to six inches in 
length, which is unusually large for a round- 
podded, wax variety; they are very solid, meaty 
and tender, free, from string, breaking brittle, 
and the flavor is unsurpassed. These desir¬ 
able table qualities are retained well on to¬ 
wards maturity or long after many other sorts 
have become too tough and stringy to use. 
The plant is everything desirable, a bushy, 
robust grower, with splendid protecting foli¬ 
age, free from rust or mildew, and it is ex¬ 
tremely prolific. It is also very hardy, en¬ 
abling it to be grown for both early, mid¬ 
summer and late autumn use. (See cut.)
