. Dreer's garden calendar for 1887. Seeds Catalogs; Nursery stock Catalogs; Gardening Catalogs; Flowers Seeds Catalogs. Dl^BEI^'S EARLY GOLDEH CLUSTER, WAX POLE BEAN. fINCE the introduction of the Giant Wax Bean by us in 1866, no new Pole Bean has been offered combining sufficient merit and distinctness to meet the approbation of careful growers. This new variety is an improvement on all the good qualities of the Giant and Dwarf Wax, and is distinct in seed, in color and habit of growth. The pods retain their tenderness and plumpness long after the beans have attained a large size, so that only a few days elapse after they cease to be fit for String Beans before they are fit to shell. The pods are a beautiful golden yellow, and are from 6 to 8 inches loDg, borne profusely in clusters of 4 to 6. Commencing to bear ten days after the Golden Wax, it continues to produce an abundance of pods until frost sets in. Its cooking qualities are excellent, and without doubt, it will become the standard Pole Bean. Packet, 25 cents ; £ pint, 50 cents ; postpaid, 58 cents. HENDERSON'S BLACK EYED WAX BUSH Dkeer's Early Golden Custer. This distinct new variety, now first offered, is a cross between the Black and Golden Wax, two favorite sorts in market and private gardens. It is 3 to 5 days earlier than either the Black or Golden Wax. It is a strong grower, very productive, tender, and of exceptionally fine flavor. The pods closely resemble those of the Black Wax, while the seed beans are marked around the eye with black spots. Pkt., 15 cts.; qt., 60 cts.
