SURE CROP WAX. Absolutely stringless. The 
fine showy yellow pods are long and flat. The 
average length is from 6 to 7 inches, and the 
pods are Yz inch wide. The eating quality is 
perfect, and the yield is exceptionally high. 
The variety is also disease-resisting. 
IMPROVED KIDNEY WAX. Long, semi-round pods, 
slightly curved. The quality is of the best, and 
the pods are without strings. While not an 
early bean, this is one of the finest and heaviest 
yielding wax podded beans we have ever sold. 
PENCIL POD BLACK WAX. A black seeded bean 
with straight round pods from 6 to 7 inches 
pods are absolutely stringless. The most at¬ 
tractive wax sort. 
DAVIS STRINGLESS WAX. A new bean with clear 
yellow, flat pods, entirely stringless, broad and 
averaging to 7^2 long. The seed is whiter 
the pods resembling Sure Crop, but slightly 
longer and more curved. 
OTHER STANDARD WAX PODDED VARIETIES 
CURRIE’S RUST PROOF WAX. While not a string- 
less sort, this bean produces an abundance of 
long, oval shaped pods, from 5 to 6 inches in 
length. A very hardy variety. 
DAVIS WHITE WAX. Seed is white and kidney 
shaped also called Davis Kidney Wax. It bears 
oval shaped pods which are excellent when 
young. 
\ 
HUDSON WAX. A very fine late sort, maturing 
in about 50 days, and very hardy. The long 
fleshy pods are flat and slightly curved. This 
variety is very resistant to rust, and the 
quality is excellent when young. 
IMPROVED GOLDEN WAX. A medium early va¬ 
riety, a heavy yielder of medium length flat 
meaty pods. A very fine stringless bean for 
the home garden. 
ROUND POD KIDNEY WAX or BRITTLE WAX. A 
fine quality stringless bean with pods nearly 
6 inches in length. The quality is one of the 
best, as the pods are fat, round and brittle. 
STRINGLESS REFUGEE WAX. A late maturing 
round podded sort of fine tender quality. Being 
very prolific, it is a popular canning variety. 
UNRIVALLED WAX. A new variety of great merit. 
The pods are long and rather narrow, gener¬ 
ally straight, though sometimes slightly curved. 
They are inclined to be of the fleshy type, semi¬ 
flat, and showing a slight trace of string. The 
quality is excellent, and the plant almost com¬ 
pletely disease-resistant. 
WARDWELL’S KIDNEY WAX. One of the best 
early wax podded sorts, as it produces a heavy 
crop of fine flat pods about 6 inches long, nearly 
straight and entirely stringless. 
WEBBER WAX or CRACKERJACK. A fairly early 
round podded bean of rather tall growing 
habit, which serves to keep the attractive pods 
well off the ground and clean. The bean is 
very hardy and prolific. 
ROYAL PURPLE WAX. A home garden variety on 
the order of Improved Golden Wax, with a 
short, round pod of doubtful quality. The seed 
is mottled royal purple.
