GOLDEN WAX, IMPROVED (52 days)—Closely resembles Golden Wax, 
differing only in having a shorter, stouter and straighter flat pod. Plant a 
trifle shorter and apparently not so productive as in the Old Style. Seed is 
white, sometimes slightly splashed with brown, with a brown eye (see 
page 16). 
KIDNEY WAX—Burpee's New Stringless (52 days)—Resembling Ward- 
well’s Kidney Wax, but pod is longer and thicker, though not so broad; 
fairly productive, and of high quality; stringless, fiberless, very straight, 
fleshy and brittle. Pods about 6 inches long and of an attractive clear yel¬ 
low color; mid-season. An excellent variety for canning. 
ROUND POD KIDNEY WAX — Brittle Wax (52 days)—An excellent early 
round-podded, stringless variety of highest quality. Pods 5 to 6 inches long 
and of a light yellow wax-like color. Seed white with brownish-black eye. 
SURE CROP WAX (53 days)—Apparently a selection from Currie’s Rust 
Proof Wax, having black seed and differing in that it is stringless, more 
hardy, and a little later. Pods flat, 6 inches long, somewhat thicker than 
Currie’s and with a stronger plant growth. 
UNRIVALLED WAX (53days) —An immensely productive, first early, showy 
sort. Pods 5 to 53^ inches long, rather narrow, either perfectly straight or 
slightly curved, somewhat flattened but fleshy. The pods show their clear 
yellow color at an early stage and while having a trace of string are quite 
fiberless. Plant large, vigorous, and nearly disease resistant; seed distinctly 
small, flat, kidney-shaped; ochre-brown in color. 
WARDWELL'S KIDNEY WAX (53 days)—A very popular early gardener’s 
variety. Pods large, 5)^ to 6 inches long, moderately stout, straight 
and flat, fleshy, brittle, fine grained and nearly stringless. Of good quality 
and very attractive. 
WEBBER WAX—Cracker Jack Wax (52 days)—A high quality flat podded 
stringless variety of the season of Wardwell’s Kidney Wax. Pods 6 to 
inches long, quite broad, and uniformly curved, fleshy, stringless and 
brittle, with little fiber. Plant more vigorous and productive than Ward- 
well’s. Color of pod is a decided bright yellow. Seed yellow kidney-shaped. 
Dwarf Green Pod Varieties 
BLACK VALENTINE (53 days)—The beautiful large pods are about 
6 inches long, slender, nearly round and almost straight; stringy, fibrous, 
though fine grained; dark green in color; seed black. An early, productive, 
profitable gardener’s variety. Plant more vigorous and productive than 
Red Valentine and pods darker green. 
BLACK VALENTINE/ STRINGLESS (53 days)—While the pods are not 
quite as rounded as in the old type, it possesses all the other desirable 
characteristics and is free from strings. 
BOSTON SMALL PEA—The Navy Bean of Commerce —Plant is large, 
hardy and very prolific, with tendency to form runners. Ripens uniformly. 
Pods 4 inches long. Dry beans small and white. 
BOUNTIFUL (49 days) —Best of the flat-podded stringless varieties. Pods 
6 /I 2 to 7 inches long, thick, flat and slightly curved; stringless, slightly 
fibrous, attractive and of fine quality; color light green. Very earl}’, vig¬ 
orous, hardy and productive.
