The best golden yellow bean. Certified blight-free seed (50 days) {4 
The yellow pods are medium long, round, and handsome in ap- 
pearance; nearly straight, of greater uniformity in color and size 
and more attractive than any other wax bean. Maule’s Improved 
Butter Wax is considered the best round-pod wax bean for both 
home use and market. The 614 in. long, round pods, which are 
borne profusely all over the bushes are a beautiful, clear yellow, 
extremely brittle, of the finest quality, fleshy, without fiber, 
plump, and entirely stringless. The seed is white with a brownish 
black eye. Our seed is grown in Idaho and is certified by the Idaho 
Seed Commissioner as being free of seed borne blight. This means 
that if your soil is not infected with the bacteria your crop will 
not suffer from this disease.
