pleased to be able to offer seed of 
this new American strain of giant 
Asparagus. It is the first result of

Agriculture to produce a rust-re- 
sistant Asparagus. Rust-resistant 
and vigorous plants selected from 
thousands have been crossed with a 
single male plant ‘‘Washington”’ 
and most careful re-selection prac- 
ticed. Grown on our own farms 
from seed sent us by the 
Department of Agriculture.

Wax or Yellow Podded 
PENCIL POD BLACK WAX. The best round 
podded Wax Bean for market. Our seed is 
grown from carefully bred stock seed, especi- 
ally selected for vigor, high yield and true 
type. We are pleased to offer such fine true 
stock of this popular variety. 
DAVIS WHITE WAX STRINGLESS. (New.) 
This Bean has all the good qualities of old 
fashioned Davis but is stringless. Dry Bean 
is large, kidney-shaped, pods long and meaty, 
of a beautiful yellow color; heavy bearer and 
good for dry Beans. 
ROGERS’ IMPROVED KIDNEY WAX. Rich, 
creamy white, slender, oval pods, 5 to 6 inches 
in length, free from rust, perfect shape and 
entirely stringless. Seed white in color with 
black eye. Plant grows robust. 18 inches in 
height, erect, bushy and very prolific. We 
know of no wax bean that is more desirable 
for home garden. Wonderful new Bean, which 
has recently been put on the market. 
BRITTLE WAX OR ROUND POD KIDNEY 
WAX. A Bean of superb quality, very tender, 
entirely stringless, makes vigorous growth. 
Beans nearly white. One of the best for string 
Beans. 
WARDWELL’S KIDNEY WAX. Gives general 
satisfaction everywhere and is one of the best 
and earliest. On account of its hardiness it 
can be planted earlier than any other Wax 
Bean; yellow pods, fine flavored and brittle, 
best for home or market. 
Green Podded Varieties 
BOUNTIFUL. New green pod variety. Superior 
quality. Productive and early. Bears early 
and stays edible through long season; pods 
often 6 inches long. A good variety for mar- 
ket gardeners. 
BURPEE’S STRINGLESS. This variety claims 
considerable attention in recent years, due to 
its fine combination of good qualities. 
RED VALENTINE STRINGLESS. (New.) Like 
the old Red Valentine, only stringless. Pods 
round and fleshy, hardy; grower of big crops; 
one of the earliest.

GIANT FRENCH WAX. A recent introduction 
from France. This Wax Bean has proved in 
the United States to be all that is claimed for 
it. Giant in production of large pods, 8 inches 
long, of a beautiful transparent golden color. 
Will grow 8 feet high and are simply loaded 
down with immense loads of pods filled with 
a large quantity of the Beans. A basket filler 
of pods or shelled Beans. We believe this 
Bean will be planted more than others as soon 
as better known. Demands good soil. 
KENTUCKY WONDER. This is surely string- 
less; pods 7 inches long, full of large fine 
Beans. Good dry or green, if gathered will 
continue to set a large crop until frost. Should 
be in everyone’s garden. 
LAZY WIFE. This Bean is surely a wonder in 
production and lasting qualities, gives general 
satisfaction. Everyone who saw this Bean 
last year was immensely pleased,
