Beans Are Profitable in the Home - and M arket'Garden 
Yellow or Wax-Podded Bush Beans, continued 
SURE-CROP WAX. A vigorous-growing, very productive variety, similar 
in general appearance of plant and seed to Currie’s Rustproof Wax. The pods, 
however, are more fleshy, of decidedly better quality, and are stringless at 
practically all stages of growth. Pods about 6 inches long, nearly round, 
attractive in color, and remain a long time in condition for snaps. Seed long, 
oval, roundish at ends, medium size, purplish black. Desirable for either 
home- or market-garden. 
BURPEE KIDNEY WAX. Also known as New, or Stringless Kidney Wax. 
One of the best of the new varieties recently introduced. The vines are hardy 
and very productive. Pods semi-round, straight, stringless, 6 to 7 inches long, fine 
grained, fleshy, and brittle. A white-seeded variety, ready to pick in 52 days. 
CURRIE’S RUSTPROOF BLACK WAX. An early variety that is rust¬ 
proof. The extra-long, flat, yellow pods are of excellent flavor. This is one 
of the best sorts for general use as it is very hardy and a heavy yielder. The 
dried Beans are black. 
DAVIS WHITE KIDNEY WAX. A fine market- and home-garden sort. 
It is extremely hardy and vigorous and an excellent keeper. The handsome 
pods are long (6^2 to 7 inches), light yellow, straight, and very crisp and tender 
when young. The clear white Beans are medium large and kidney-shaped. 
PROLIFIC BLACK WAX. This is one of the best varieties for the home- 
garden, being perfectly stringless and of excellent flavor. The clear waxy 
white pods are of medium size, round, and full. An early and prolific bearer. 
Dry Beans oval and black. 
GOLDEN WAX IMPROVED. An excellent market Bean that does not 
rust. The long, nearly straight pods are flat, broad, golden yellow, and very 
fleshy; stringless and brittle when young. Dry Beans oval, white, with dark 
mottlings. A heavy yielder. 
PENCIL-POD BLACK WAX. One of the best for the home-garden. The 
pencil-like pods, 6 to 7 inches in length, are well rounded and of a beautiful 
yellow color. The meat is brittle, stringless, and of excellent flavor. Dry Beans 
oval and black. 
WARDWELL’S KIDNEY WAX. A medium-early variety maturing a little 
later than Improved Golden Wax. It is very productive of long, straight, flat, 
yellow pods that are stringless and brittle. Its many good qualities have made 
it a favorite everywhere. Dry Beans long, white, with purple mottlings. 
Giant Stringless Green-Pod 
Bush Beans 
Green-Podded Bush Beans 
BLACK VALENTINE. An extremely profitable sort for the market- 
grower because of its immense crops of very long, handsome, nearly round, 
dark green pods. A very hardy and early variety that has been largely 
planted. Dry Beans are oval and black. 
STRINGLESS BLACK VALENTINE. Resembles Black Valentine in 
foliage, growth, and habits, and is just as early, but the pods are absolutely 
stringless. Blossoms are purple. 
BOUNTIFUL. An equally good Bean for the market- or home-garden. 
It bears continuously and profusely for several weeks and is generally con¬ 
ceded to be one of the best flat, green-podded Bush Beans. The pods are 
large, solid, and stringless, retaining their tenderness even when 
past maturity. The earliest of the Bush Beans and also the most 
popular. Dry Beans are long, dark tan in color. 
BURPEE’S STRINGLESS. This old variety is steadily 
growing in popularity, and deservedly so, for it combines hardi¬ 
ness, extreme earliness, and great productiveness. The rich 
green pods are almost round, meaty, absolutely stringless even 
when mature. It is tender and of delicious flavor, and should 
have a place in every garden. Dry Beans oval, dark brown, 
with white eye. 
DWARF HORTICULTURAL. A late variety that is very 
productive of broad, flat, stringless pods. One of the best sorts 
for use as a shell Bean. The dry Beans are large, oval, nearly covered with 
splashes of bright red. The pods are green when young but when mature 
are yellow splashed with red. 
GIANT STRINGLESS GREEN-POD. Truly a giant, for its pods 
average 6 inches and over in length. It is one of the best first earlies and 
produces an abundance of its round, stringless pods, which are good at all 
stages of growth. The plants stand dry weather exceptionally well. Dry 
Beans rather long, light brown in color.
