"run.'' AVhite-seeded plants have been selected and have 

 bred tnie, but the type is not a good one. The pods are 

 large, flat, broad and coarse. 



''Golden Crown-Lightning" (130/25). All the plants of this 

 cross have the open, spreading growth of "Lightning," and, 

 while early, are poor bearers with flat, stringy pods. 



Novelties in Bush Beans. 



Several commercial varieties of bush beans have been grown this 

 season that are not in previous lists. Some of them are practically 

 ■duplicates of former varieties, but each has a record number as- 

 .sigiied to it. 



Pods of the following varieties, as they reached full size, were 

 _gathered (July 20th) for museum specimens: 



158. "Silver Refugee/^ (Xotes omitted for this variety last year 

 are here added.) The plants are thrifty and in their 

 foliage resemble "Eefugee, Green" (36), with flowers 

 purple, late bearing and prolific. The pods are long, 

 slightly curved, round and like the "Crystal Wax" in 

 color. A table test determined that this bean is of 

 superior quality. It is being bred with the white-seeded 

 varieties, 



IGl. ''Ei-erhearing ^Yox/' This is a good, prolific "Black Wax" 

 variety, with round pods and medium early. 



162. "California Pea" (Green). The plants are of upright, open 



growth, with dark-green foliage and late pink flowers, 

 short and plump pods, like "Low's Champion" (27), and 

 seeds round and yellow, an unusual color in beans. 



163. "EureJca" (Green). Similar to 162 in plant, flower, pod 



and seed. 



164. "1)11 proved BJarl- TlV/.r." The plants are large, thrifty, with 



pur})le flowers and early pods, like the "l>Iack Wax." 



165. "rcrfeciion YVax." This is similar to 164. A promising, 



early variety, with purple flowers and black seeds. 



166. "Leopard ^Vax." A distinct type of plant, tall, with dark- 



green, broad, rough leaves; flowers pink, pods broad, 

 thick and medium in length, and seeds curiously marked 

 with black spots.
