38 BEAN CULTURE 



Golden Wax, Speckled Cranberry, Case Knife, 

 German Wax and Scarlet Runner are especially 

 recommended. Broad Windsor (Sta. Rpt. for 1888, 

 p 141), the well known broad bean of England, is 

 well adapted to the state, being vigorous, healthy, 

 and productive. Experiments (Bui. 26) in 1894 with 

 eight varieties resulted in Golden Wax proving most 

 satisfactory. 



Indiana. — Tabulated data (Bui. 38, pp 18-19) ^o^ 

 28 varieties of wax beans. For family use Alge- 

 rian Challenge, Golden-eyed Refugee and Yosemito 

 Mammoth are recommended. 



Kansas. — In 1890, 194 varieties were planted but 

 only 19 survived the drouth. Henderson's Bush 

 Lima, Dwarf Carolina and a local variety, Belcher, 

 gave good results. (See Bui. 19, pp 198-201 ; also 

 Sta. Rpt. for 1889, pp 131-135.) 



Kentucky. — Descriptive notes on 30 varieties 

 (Bui. 38, pp 15-17). The following are especially 

 recommended : Improved Golden Wax, Crystal 

 Wax, Valentine and Mohawk. Experiments in 

 1895, (Bui. 54) showed Wakefield to be the earliest 

 and Improved Valentine and Speckled Wax, the 

 most productive of bush varieties. With bush 

 limas, Henderson and Jackson Wonder gave best 

 results. Of the pole varieties, Kentucky Wonder, 

 Yardlong, Large White, and Ford's Mammoth gave 

 the best results. 



Louisiana. — Twelve varieties of snap, five of lima, 

 and four of pole beans tested and reported (Bui. 42). 

 The following varieties of early snap beans are rec- 

 ommended : Early Mohawk, Extra Early Refugee 

 and Extra Early Valentine. Henderson Bush was 

 the most desirable variety of the lima strain, (See 

 bulletins 36, 27, 3 and 22.)
