and more productive. Vines very uniform, making little or

New Longfellow. — This is a remarkable early 
String Bean. The pods are 6% inches long, pale soft green 
in color, perfectly straight and round. The flavor is very 
delicious, and retains its beautiful color almost intact when 
prepared for the table. Quart, 20c.; peck, $1.00; bush.,$3.75. 
Dwarf Horticultural, or Cherry.—Pods are of 
medium length, slightly curved or sickle-shaped, and when 
nearly developed are freely splashed with bright red on the 
skin. It is one of the best varieties to grow for green shell- 
beans in cool locations where the Limas do not succeed. 
The green beans are of good size, tender and of fine flavor, 
they are highly esteemed when cooked with sweet corn as 
Succotash. Lhe surplus beans not needed for use during the 
summer sake excellent soup or baking beans for winter.

The Goddard, or Boston Favorite.—Tall bush 
or semi-running growth, eighteen inches to two feet in 
height, producing a large crop of pods. These are flat, five 
inches in length, one-half inch broad, with a long, slender 
point. The pods when young are excellent for using as 
snapshorts, being brittle, juicy, mild in flavor, and nearly 
stringless. For winter use the pods should be allowed to 
ripen on the plants. As the pods attain full size they be- 
come thickly marked with purplish flakes. Quart, 20c.; 
peck, $1.15; bush., $4.00. 
@ax-Pod Varieties. 
The Wax-Podded Beans are highly esteemed for their 
mild flavor and handsome appearance, and by many the 
lighter coloring, when prepared for the table, is preferred. 
Nearly all the varieties are valuable also for use as Winter 
Shell-Beans, but are not so productive as other varieties 
| offered on this page, especially for that purpose. Being 
| more tender than the green-podded sorts they should not 
be planted until the trees are well out in leaf and the nights 
quite warm. fIf planted too early, the growth becomes 
checked, and the pods are smaller and not so fine in ap- 
pearance.
