WAX OR YELLOW-POD 
BUSH BEANS 
Wax-Pod Bush Beans share with Green-Pod Bush Beans all the qualities that make them 
one of the first requirements of every gardener and grower. Wax Bush Beans grow vigor¬ 
ously almost anywhere, present no difficulties of cultivation, and produce tremendous 
crops. Their appetizing, waxy yellow pods and their delicate, distinctive flavor make them 
a favorite in market or home garden. The planting information given for Green-Pod Bush 
Beans applies to the Wax Beans as well. The bushes range in size from 12 to 20 in. tall,

52 days. Our supply of Brittle Wax has been scarcely equal to the demand 
for it in the past few years. It’s another quality Burpee variety. The 
plants are vigorous and productive, about 20 in. tall under average condi¬ 
tions, Pods are most attractive, Syi to 6 in. long, only slightly curved, 
slim, smooth, and round. They are clear lemon-yellow in color, very 
tender, with no trace of strings or fiber. Brittle Wax grows well through¬ 
out the country. It is our first choice for the home garden among the 
wax pods because of its appearance, tenderness, flavor, and produc¬ 
tivity. Our supply this season will be ample, and we wish to urge those 
few of our customers who have not grown it before to make a planting 
this season. The seed is white with a black eye. Brittle Wax is also 
known as Round Pod Kidney Wax. High quality and the light color 
of its seed fit Brittle Wax for canning either at home or in the factory,

52 days. White-seeded, round-podded Wax Bean of really choice quality. 
Bears attractive, well-formed, five-inch pods continuously for many weeks. 
The bright lemon-yellow pods are straight, brittle, meaty, tender, and entirely 
stringless at all stages of growth. Seeds, being large and pure white, are 
desirable as shell Beans. The seeds of any other beans can, of course, be used 
for baking, but the white-seeded varieties are usually preferred for this pur¬ 
pose due to their appearance. Pkt. 10)z!; Vz lb. 25^; lb. 45d;

41 Rustproof Golden Wax 
50 days. Extra early in maturing. Plants are of typical Bush growth, 
12 in. tall, and almost entirely resistant to bean rust. The straight, 
lemon-yellow pods are broad and flat, 5 in. long, stringless, brittle, and 
of good quality. Profuse bearer. Especially suitable for the home 
garden or early market. For the size of plant it is very productive; see 
picture below, which gives some idea of the bearing qualities of this 
variety. Other features are that it reaches the peak of its season very 
quickly and is immune to rust and disease, which, in wet seasons, render 
many varieties of Wax Beans unsightly or unmarketable.
