BEANS—Dwarf Wax Podded Sorts 
OUTSTANDING VARIETIES 
Sure Crop Wax 
Davis Stringless Wax. A new bean, distinct 
from Davis Kidney Wax in that it is entirely 
stringless, at the same time having the attractive 
qualities of the old Davis. The pods are a waxy- 
yellow, flat, averaging 614 inches long; the bean 
is tender and well flavored, without fibre. A 
limited quantity is available. Pkt., 10c; 14 Ib., 
25c; 1 Ib., 40c. 
Pencil Pod Black Wax. A black seeded bean 
with straight round pods from 6 to 7 inches long. 
It is a medium early variety, requiring about 45 
days to mature. The pods are absolutely string- 
less, which makes this sort a popular market 
garden bean. Pkt., 10c; 14 lb., 25c; 1 lb., 40c. 
Unrivalled Wax. A new variety of great merit. 
The pods are long and rather narrow, generally 
straight, though sometimes slightly curved. 
They are inclined to be of the fleshy type, semi- 
flat, and showing a slight trace of string. The 
uality is excellent and the plant almost com- 
Getty disease-resistant. Pkt., 10c; 14 lb., 25c; 
.» 40c. 
Improved Kidney Wax. Long, semi-round pods, 
slightly curved. The quality is of the best, and 
the pods are without strings. Not an early bean, 

as it requires about 50 days to mature for picking. 
This is one of the finest and heaviest yielding wax 
podded bean we have ever sold. We have seen 59 
good pods on one vine. Packet, 10c; 1% lb., 25c; 
1 lb., 40c. 
Improved Golden Wax. A medium early variety, 
maturing in about 45 days. It is a heavy yielder 
of medium length flat meaty pods. A very fine 
stringless bean for the home garden. Pkt., 10c; 
V4 Ib., 25c; 1 lb., 40c. 
Sure Crop Wax. Quality has made this one of 
the most popular of all wax podded beans, and it is 
used to the exclusion of all others in many bean 
growing sections. Much time and effort have 
been devoted to making this stock true and pure. 
Sure Crop is quite similar to Currie’s Rust 
Proof, but is absolutely stringless in character. 
The fine showy yellow pods are long and flat. 
The average length is from 6 to 7 inches, and the 
pods are 4% inch wide. The eating quality is 
perfect, and the yield is exceptionally high. The 
variety is also disease-resisting. Matures in 
about 45 days. Pkt., 10c; 1% lb., 30c; 1 Ib., 50c.

rows four feet apart and the poles three feet apart -in 
the row. Around each pole plant five to eight beans, and 
later thin out to four vines. Seed should be covered 
14% to 2 inches deep. One pound of seed will plant about 
75 poles; 30 pounds for an acre. 

Kentucky Wonder 
Kentucky Wonder (Old Homestead). ,The most 
popular green podded pole bean. Bears a pro- 
fusion of round meaty pods, which often reach 
a length of nine or ten inches. Pkt., 10c; 1% lb.,
