a very good price. These varieties are also 

 largely grown in the South for Northern markets 

 in the early spring. 



The Longfellow is a variety of rather recent 

 introduction with which a number of growers 

 have had good success. 



Valued for its productiveness and for the length 

 of pod, Burpee's Stringless Green Pod is perhaps 

 the most tender of all the green varieties. Very 

 productive with large thick pods. It, however, 

 like all tender beans, is very susceptible to rust 

 during the wet season. 



Of the shell beans there are three that are in 

 favour with the growers to-day, namely, Dwarf 

 Horticultural, Low's Champion, and Goddard. 



The Dwarf Horticultural is probably the most 

 widely known. The pods when mature are yel- 

 lowish and thickly splashed w r ith bright crimson 

 and quite plump. 



Low's Champion is the dwarf red cranberry 

 bean, with large pods borne well off the ground, 

 and can be used either as a shell or snap bean. 

 It is very productive. Of the bush Lima beans, 

 there are three varieties that are in demand with 

 the market gardeners. These are Dreer's Bush
