 collection of different varieties of lieans, as follows: 



9438. 



(InrlxtiisUlt). From Saltillo. " First -cla.-js l)ean and seems a little different 

 from the one at San Luis l'ot(xsi of the same name (No. 9155). When the 

 bean from San Luis Potosi is brought to Saltillo for ssile it is objected to 

 l)ecause it is said to take more fuel for cooking, and fuel is an object. This is 

 proltal)ly due to the fact that the water at San Luis I'otosi is hard, while that 

 at Saltillo is soft. Tiiis bean is very i)rolilic in this sc<'tion of the table-lands 

 and is tiie choice of all who can afford to purchase it. Bought from Jesus 

 Santos Grande, Saltillo. Mexico." {Palmer.)
