LEGUMES. 



Early long-jiodded bean^ from England, quite as prolific as the 

 common long-pod, but considerably earlier. It probably will do 

 well at the South, but of doubtful success north of "Virginia. 



Long-podded or butter bean, from" Germany, an esteemed sort 

 for eating in a green state, when shelled. 



Early Dwarf French bean — (Haricot flageolet, or Nain hatif de 

 Laon) rather long, narrow, and cylindrical in shape, and of a 

 whitish or pale green color. It is one of the most esteemed va- 

 rieties in the neighborhood of Paris, very dwarfy, and rapid in 

 its growth, and is much employed there as " snaps," or shelled 

 in a green state, and even when dried. From its bushy or dwaify 

 habit it will bear close planting, say from two feet to two and a 

 halt feet apart. 



Pearl bean, without strings, from Germany, a fine variety, used

 bably will prove a runner.
