DWARF TOUGH-PODDED KIDNEY BEANS 67 



New Mammoth Negro. The pods and seeds of this kind are 

 rather like those of the Negro Long-pod, but in its mode of growth 

 and the colour of its leaves it bears a greater resemblance to the 

 Belgian Negro. It is not so good a kind for green Haricots as the 

 Negro Long-pod. 



Newington Wonder. This dwarf variety can hardly be 

 recommended for any other purpose than frame culture for the 

 production of seeds, as its pods are too short for green Haricots. 

 The seed is of a light yellow colour and remarkably small. 



Early Mohawk Bean. Very hardy ; pods long, flat, straight. 

 One of the Beans most commonly cultivated in the United States, 

 and as often grown under glass as in the open air. The seed is 

 pale green, marbled with dark violet or brown. 



Best of All Bean. A vigorous, ramified, fairly productive half- 

 early kind ; the pods long, fleshy, intense green, becoming lighter 

 at maturity, and marked with bright red shades ; seed pale yellow 

 stippled with red. 



Currie's Rust-proof Wax Bean. Resembles the Dwarf 

 Flageolet Wax Bean, except that it has black seeds. 



Davis Kidney Wax. A species of Dwarf Flageolet Wax 

 Bean, hardy and productive, with long yellow straight pods, not 

 free from parchment, and requiring to be pulled when young. Seed 

 long white kidney-shaped. 



Emperor William. Resembles in foliage and growth the 

 Dwarf Scimitar White Bean, with rather flatter pods. The seed 

 is white, flat, and rather kidney-shaped. 



Ne Plus Ultra Bean. Dwarf; leaves light green, flowers 

 white tinged with pink. Seeds resemble those of the Yellow 

 Hundred to One, but the pods are longer. 



New Bountiful Kidney Bean. Seed like that of the Long 

 Yellow Flageolet, but the growth of the plant is freer, and the 

 foliage lighter, and the pods more whitened. 



Stringless Green-pod Bean. Half-early, vigorous, and pro- 

 ductive, much esteemed in the United States. Pods long, fleshy, 

 slightly curving, pale green. Seed a deep madder-colour. 



Button's Prolific Negro Dwarf Bean. A good variety of the 

 Negro Black or Dwarf Belgian, but with longer pods. 



Osborn's Early Forcing. A good dwarf kind, of dense 

 branching growth, producing large numbers of medium-sized pods, 

 each containing four or five short bulging seeds, deep-brown, with 

 some spots of light yellow. 



Refugee, or Thousand to One. A rather compact-growing 

 variety, with remarkably long, straight, smooth, dark-coloured 

 leaves, and violet flowers. Pods straight and rounded ; seed 

 hardly kidney-shaped, almost cylindrical, light yellow, variegated 

 with wine-lees-red markings.
