52 days. This Burpee introduction is pronounced by many the 
most tasty of all beans. Pods are almost straight, broad, yet quite 
thick, meaty, and entirely stringless at all stages of growth; 6 in. 
long, % in. broad, 34 in. thick, and of a bright lemon-yellow, 
reflecting their tenderness and delicate flavor. Prized for canning. 
The popularity of this bean is due to several important factors— 
pods are remarkable for their meatiness, fine flavor, brittleness, 
attractive clean color, and their absolute freedom from strings; 
plants are noted for their great prolificness. They are strong grow- 
ers, forming upright bushes, 18 to 20 in. in height. Seeds are 
kidney-shaped, pearly white with a small brownish black eye. 
Seed crop is very short; can offer pkis. only. Pkt. 15¢. 
41 Rustproof Golden Wax 
TOP NOTCH STRAIN 
50 days. Extra early in maturing. The straight, golden yellow 
pods are broad and flat, 5 to 5% in. long, stringless, brittle, and of 
good quality. Profuse bearer. Especially suitable for the home 
garden or early market. The plants grow more compactly and 
more erect than the old Golden Wax, bearing the pods well off the 
ground. Other features are that it reaches the peak of its season 
very quickly and is almost totally resistant to bean rust, which, in 
wet seasons, renders some varieties of wax beans unsightly or un- 
marketable. The pods develop a full yellow color when very young 
thus presenting a beautiful appearance when served or put up in 
jars for winter use. Seeds are white, marked brown around eye.

make them a favorite in market or home garden. The planting information 
given for Bush Beans on page 10 applies to the Wax-Pod and Green-Pods 
alike. The bushes range in height from 12 to 20in. Most gardeners ar- 
range to have plantings of both the green and wax-pod beans made so 
as to have the two always on hand; this makes for a nice change 
when serving at the table.
