wax pod witli the same seed color. Both are inferior to "Davis'' 

 as a snap bean, but they may become good new ''shell" varieties. 



"Lonofclloii'-CyUncler Wcuv" (26/110).— This is a combination 

 of two g'ood varieties and has piroduced as one tyjDe the "Cylinder" 

 pod with the "Longfellow" seed. 



"Low's Champio'tirGoldeti Wax" (27/122). — A union of these 

 two varieties has developed a "Golden Wax" pod with tlie rounds 

 red seed of "Low's Champion" pointing to a red-seeded "Golden 

 Wax." 



, "White Marrowfcif-Canadian Wonder" (29/8). — Both varieties 

 represent late plants with large pods and seeds, and, as the "Mar- 

 rowfat" has a white seed, this means that by selection of the white- 

 seeded plants a new "shell" variety resembling the "White Kid- 

 ney" (182) may be obtained. 



"Henderson's Blaeh Valentine-Detroit Wax" (45/113). — By 

 uniting the good qualities of the "Henderson," a long, round, 

 stringless pod, with the golden color and earlincss of the "Detroit,"' 

 plants bearing a superior golden wax have been secured. Plants 

 have also resulted, piromising the "Black Valentine" pod with the 

 "Detroit" dark "eye" seed. 



"Sti'ingirs-s Vaieniine-Wlhite Marroivfat" (46/29). — The out- 

 come of this cross, is an upright, sturdy pilant bearing an abundance 

 of short, straight, round pods. The selection of white-seeded pdants 

 means a combination of string and shell bean with a plant superior 

 to the "Marrowfat" in twO' respects, namely, earliness and true 

 dwarf habit. 



"Green Winier-White Marrowfat" (51/28). — Both these 

 varieties have whit^i seeds and their combination results in a plant 

 earlier and more bushy than the "Marrowfat" with short, phnnj) 

 pods. This ci'oss promises another "shell" variety. 



''Burpee's Brittle Wax-Wonder of France" (101/52). — Here 

 the ^\^lite seed of the "Wonder" is combined with the good traits 

 of the "Burpee" producing anothcT white-seeded wax bean. 



"Detroit Wax-Black Wax" (113/107).— The "Black Wax" has 

 a round pod and this union resulted in a round-podded "Golden 

 Wax," and, by selection, the "Detroit Wax" type of seed is as- 

 sured. 



"Flageolet-Detroit" (114/113). — From this combination plants 

 have resulted with the large, flat pod of the "Flageolet," containing 

 large, flat seeds with a red "eye" similar to the "Detroit."
