Dwarf Butter, Wax Podded Varieties 
BLACK WAX, PENCIL POD (56 days)—The best of the dwarf black- 
seeded wax varieties. Early and very productive. Pods large, 6 % to 7 
inches long, round, nearly straight and crease-backed; strictly stringless, 
free from fiber, fleshy and brittle; of highest quality; color very clear 
yellow. Plant growth exceptionally strong and vigorous. 
CURRIE’S RUST PROOF WAX (50 days)—Very early and productive, 
pods large, 53dj to 6 inches long, flat and straight; the bright yellow color 
makes it attractive in the market. Has more or less fiber and string. Seed 
black. Grown largely by market gardeners because of its earliness and 
hardiness. 
DAVIS* WAX, STRINGLESS—RICE’S (52 days) — It produces the same 
attractive waxy yellow pods of the original variety but minus the strings. 
The larger flat pods are 63^2 inches long and uniformly straight. The white 
beans are kidney shaped. Introduced by us in 1931. 
DAVIS* WHITE KIDNEY WAX (55 days)— An early, productive and 
attractive wax variety. Pods large and flat, 6^ to 7 inches long, very 
uniform and extremely straight, stringy and fibrous and fair quality. Color 
clear bright yellow. Seed white and kidney shaped. A market gardeners’ 
sort. 
GOLDEN WAX, OLD STYLE (52 days)—Probably the most popular of 
the wax varieties and one of the best. Very early and quite productive; 
pods 4 to 43^2 inches long, very stout, straight or slightly curved and oval 
in form; flesh brittle, stringless and of good quality; color bright yellow; 
seed white, much mottled brown. Best of the Golden Wax type.
