 yellow colour, containing

 thick. A very productive

Mont d'Or Wax or 

 Butter Bean. This 

 handsome and good 

 variety was raised near 

 Lyons, whence it has 

 been widely distributed 

 throughout France. It 

 is a very distinct kind, 

 scarcely as tall as the 

 Algerian Wax Bean, with 

 pale green stems tinged 

 with red, and smooth, 

 uncrimped light green 

 leaves and blue flowers. Pods very numerous, straight, pale yellow, 

 like those of all the Butter Beans, nearly 6 in. long, very free from 

 membrane, each containing five or six egg-shaped violet seeds, 

 spotted and marbled with brown, and perceptibly smaller than 

 those of the Black and White Algerian Wax Beans. This variety, 

 which is only grown for the pods, is remarkable for its earliness 

 and productiveness.
