similar shape as the Golden Wax, but long-
er; color of a beautiful golden yellow. They
are very prolific and hardy, surpassing any
other Dwarf Wax Bean that we know of.
The color of the bean is somewhat like the
Golden Wax, but more kiduey-shaped and
more spotted with dark purple. 'it has
done best here among the Dwarf Wax
Beans. Of all the many new kinds we had
tried, we found none to excel it.
Dwarf Flageolet Wax. A German
variety which figures as Perfection Wax,

The pods are meaty and well filled, thick-

rich yellow color and fine quality, and en-

shell. If the pods are picked as fast as
