66 MASSACHUSETTS AGRICULTURE. 



The most profitable kinds for market of the busk wax 

 varieties are Ferry's Golden Wax and the White Wax ; but 

 that is a poor bearer, not so good as the Golden Wax. 

 Of other sorts than Ferry's, the Six-Weeks, White Valentine, 

 and Bush Horticultural are also good market varieties. 

 Of pole-beans, the London Horticultural and White Horti- 

 cultural, for string in the pod ; for our own table, the Round 

 White Wax. 



The Marblehead Champion is very early for a pole-bean, 

 but not profitable for market. It was first sent out by Mr. 

 Gregory ; but I find it is not worthy of cultivation as far as 

 I have tried it. 



For dry use we like the Dutch Case-Knife ; for baking, 

 London Horticultural, both bush and pole. The Pea Bean 

 White is good, but no better than the Yellow Eye (bush). 

 Have not tested the Rhode-Island Butter fully yet ; as to its 

 merits can speak more fully after another year's trial. 



The other vegetables I raise are turnips, pease, and man- 

 golds. The common turnip-beet does best with manure 

 ploughed in in the fall, and spread and harrow in fine 

 manure in the spring.
