WAX BUSH BEAN. 
The Perfection of Cylinder-podded Dwarf Wax Beans. 
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.)

“/ tried half a pint of your Golden Scimitar Wax 
Beans last year, and gathered four and one-half bushels 
for market , besides our family used about five pecks; 
they have proven themselves to be wonderful beans; 
certainly all you claim for them."

A MAMMOTH FLAT WAX-PODDED 
KIDNEY BUSH BEAN. 
WAX BUSH BEAN. 
This grand acquisition we think 
will entirely displace other flat- 
podded wax beans. The plants are 
unusually robust, with luxuriant, healthy foliage, resisting disease and unfavorable weather, and 
whether sown early, midseason or late, invariably produce in greatest abundance the largest 
and handsomest waxy, golden-yellow pods we have ever seen. They are of immense 
size, nearly six inches in length, and of great breadth, entirely free from green tips. The 
quality, unlike some varieties of similar type, is fully equal to that of the smaller 
podded dwarf wax beans, and the pods, though flat, are thick, meaty, very tender, 
entirely stringless even when approaching maturity, and of mild, fine flavor. 
It is very early for so large a sort, rendering it of especial value as a market 
bean. This new bean is not only desirable as an edible wax-podded snap 
bean, but is also valuable as a shell bean, the delicious flavor equaling 
that of sorts grown exclusively for this purpose. Price, 15c. £ 
pint, 25c. pint, 40c. quart, $2.50 peck, $8.50 bushel. 
Improved Golden Wax Busn 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 
cut.) Price, 10c. packet, 20c.
