33 Burpee’s Brittle Wax—Stringless © 
One of the Best Flavored of all Yellow-Podded Beans 
52 days. Another quality Burpee variety. Plants are of medium size, 
erect, leafy, and very productive. The attractive pods measure 5% to 
6% 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 the finest 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 adaptability 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 frequently exceeds the supply.
