IMPROVED GOLDEN WAX. —In spite of all the new sorts of beans being introduced every year, our trade calls for more Golden Wax than any other variety. This great popularity is due largely to to the fact that the variety we have is a gi eat improvement on the old Golden Wax having larger pods and being much more prolific. This im- proved stock is one of the handsomest beans we have ever seen, the pods being of dark, rich golden yellow color and of perfect shape. For'family or rnarke; you can make no mistake' in planting them. Per pkt. 5c. \2 pt. 15c. qt. 45c.

The pods are often a foot in length ex- ceedingly succulent, stringless and tender. It is an enormously produc- tive variety.
