cultivation and use of “‘fezolles” by the Indians. The Hurons 
used in their succotash (neintahouy) “a third or a quarter part 
of their fezoles, called ogaressa” (Grand Voyage, 83, 188). 
Lescarbot, 1608, says that the Indians of Maine, like those 
of Virginia and Florida, plant their corn in hills, “ and between 
the kernels of corn, they plant beans marked ( ‘fives riolées) with 
various colors, which are very delicate; these, because they 
are not so high as the corn, grow very well among it” (Hist. 
Nouv. France, ed. 1612, p. 835; see also, p. 744). 
The relation of the voyage of Captains Amidas and Barlow to 
Virginia, 1584, mentions pease, melons, etc., at Roanoke Island, 
but does not name beans; but Harriot t, ‘whe <eopae 
the same they call in Italy fagioli: their beans are the same 
the Turks call garvances, = these they much esteem for dain- 
ties” (Smith’s Gen. Hist., 28; Strachey, Trav. in Virginia, 117). 
Evidently, these names are confounded. Garvance was the 
French name of the Chick Pea (Cicer arietinum), the Spanish 
garbanzo; and it is not probable that the “Turks” gave this 
name to any kind of beans; while fagiwold was the Italian 
equivalent of Latin phaseol. Strachey’s Virginian vocabulary 
gives assentamens (and otassentamens) for “ pease,” and peccatoas, 
lenenan for ‘‘ bean 
ust be remembered that at the beginning of the 17th 
prsa kidney beans—as well as vetchlings tg a Sa 
popularly regarded as a kind of pease, or “peason.” ‘Turner, 
in his Names of Herbes, 1548, says that “ Phasiolus, otherwyse 
called Dolichos, may be called in English long peasen or faselles ; 
. in French phaseoles”: and “ ae hortensis, ... . in 
French, as some wryte Phaseole . y be called in ‘Eng- 
lish Kydney beane,” etc., (Engl . Dial. ‘Se: a 1881, p. 62, 74). 
Lyte’s Dodoens, 157 8, follows Theaner for the English names of 
Phaseolus, ‘ Kidney. beane and wae i a some they are 
called Reso: or Long Peason,” ete. (p. 474): his “common 
lew ” and “middle Peason” are Ervilia (Hrvum Ervilia 
ad and Pisum arvense L.; while P. sativum is distinguished 
i da Peason, Garden Peason, and Branche Peason, be- 
cause, as I thinke, they must be holpen or stayed up ‘with

So, on the ectienk the Spanish names for “ fésoles” was 
“arvejas luengas” (Oviedo) i. e., ‘long vetches,’ and the garden 
pea (P. sativum) was “wn corto genero de Arvejas” (Calepin’s
