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 
33 Burpee's Brittle Wax O 
52 days. Another quality Burpee variety. Plants are of medium size, 
erect, leafy, and very productive. The attractive pods measure 5}4 to 
6^2 in. in length and are clear, light waxy yellow in color, round, 
slightly curved, and quite smooth. There is no trace of string or fiber 
at any stage of growth. Flesh is tender, brittle, and of fine flavor. 
The kidney-shaped seed is pure white with irregular 
black markings around the eye. The many desirable 
features of Brittle Wax, which include wide adaptabil¬ 
ity to climatic conditions, attractive appearance of 
both pods and plants, and exceptional quality, have 
made it the most widely planted of all wax-podded 
bush beans. Equally desirable for home uses, for 
market and for large canners. If your plantings have 
never included Brittle Wax, you should give it a trial. 
Order early, for it is so popular with both home and 
commercial growers that the demand for seed fre¬ 
quently exceeds the supply.
