EXPERIMENT STATION BULLETINS. 213 



Double Barreled Wax and First in the Market were received from D. 

 Landretli and Son. First in the Market is a quick maturing green-podded 

 sort of medium quality, but the edible period is very short. Double 

 Barreled Wax is a selected strain of the wax type of good quality. The 

 pods are broad and thick and do not become tough. 



Giant Podded Stringless, from Maule, is a good green-podded sort. 

 It is very productive and the pods are large, long and meaty. A good 

 mid-season variety. ^,

Jones Stringless, from D. M. Ferry and Co., has white seeds and is of 

 excellent quality for an extra early variety. 



Knickerbocker, Longfellow and Market Wax were all received from 

 Peter Henderson and Co., New York, Knickerbocker and Longfellow 

 are green-podded and of good quality. Market Wax is a good wax sort. 



North Star, from Great Northern Seed Co., is a green-podded snap 

 bean of good quality. The pods are long, tender and mature very early. 



Pencil Podded Wax, Powell's Prolific and Quarter Century were re- 

 ceived from Livingston Seed Co. The Pencil Pod is a wax betin of 

 standard quality. Powell's Prolific is an abundant bearer, but the pods 

 are a little tough. Quarter Century is a bush Lima but did not mature 

 this season. 



Sunshine Wax, from Bolgiano and Son, is a carefully selected strain 

 of good quality. The pods are bright colored, tender and pleasant. It 

 is a good, medium-early variety. 



Trucker's Delight, from Holmes, is a Lima of considerable promise. 



Levianthium, from Henderson and Co., is another choice Lima, but 

 the weather was so wet that none of the Limas matured sufficiently to 

 show their quality. 



CABBAGES, 1902. 



About the same varieties of cabbage, cauliflower, kale, kohlrabi, broc- 

 coli and Brussels sprouts were grown as in 1901. The season was such 

 that many of the plants failed to head and a poor trial resulted. The 

 broccoli developed some very fine heads equal to any of the cauliflower 

 in quality. 



The list of early varieties of cabbage included All Head, Early Jersey 

 Wakefield, Etampes, Express. Henderson's Early Summer and White 

 Giant from Vaughan Seed Co. Alpha from Currie Bros.; Base Ball,
