BOWEJSPS CATALOGUE WARDWELL'5 KIDNEY WAX.—A robust, hardy variety, yielding a heavy crop of large, unusually handsome, wax-like pods. They are fleshy, ten- der, and excellent, and are ready for the table earlier than any other wax kind, except the Black-eyed Wax. The bean, which is white with dark markings around the eyes, is larger than most other wax beans. DAVIS WAX—A hardy, rustless, and immensely productive bush variety.
