DWARF TOUGH-PODDED KIDNEY BEANS 53 



Flageolet Bean, the pods of which are of a darker colour outside, 



and the seed being permeated throughout with a larger amount of 



green colouring matter, which latter 



is of a more durable nature than 



is found in any other of the Tough- 

 podded Kidney Beans. 



Chevrier Dwarf Flageolet 



Bean. A distinct variety, differing 



from the Green-seeded Flageolet 



almost as much as that differs 



from the White Flageolet, so intense 



is the green colour of the seed. 



Sent out only a few years ago, it 



has quickly become very popular 



among the growers in the vicinity 



of Paris. 



Wonder ol France Dwarf 



Bean. The Chevrier Bean, like 



the White Flageolet Bean, has the

exposed to the attacks of rust. 



This evil is considerably lessened 



in some of the later strains, the 



first of which in date, the Marvel 



of Paris, is a fine variety with 



numerous, long, straight, beautiful 



deep green pods and well-coloured 



seeds. It differs but little from 



that of the Chevrier Bean in these 



characteristics. 



King of the Green Bean. Of remarkable vigour in growth, and 



somewhat taller than Wonder of France, though not quite as early. 



It is a hardy plant, suited for field culture, and wonderfully produc- 

 tive. It is one of the best for 

 the production of dry green 

 Flageolets ; for not only is the 

 skin of the seed very thin, but 

 the bushes shed the whole of 

 their foliage as soon as the 

 pods are full and ripe, so that 

 the plants, if. pulled up then, 

 may be easily stacked at once.
