FOR THE SOUTHERN STATES. 
Vegetables of special merit generally used by the Market 
Gardeners and Truck Farmers from this vicinity. 
They must surely be the best for the Southern States as they have been 
thoroughly tried by these people. 
Best of All Beans. (Bush.) This is 
the Market Gardeners favorite Bean for ship- 
ping, and I do not exaggerate when I state that 
two-thirds of the Beans shipped from here in 
the Spring are from that variety. It is a little 
later than the Mohawk, but is round in 
shape, much fleshier and is therefore far supe- 
rior to any other Bush Bean. It is very 
productive and makes a good size pod. Re- 
commend it very highly. 
Early Mohawk Six Weeks 
Beans. This is the earliest Bush Bean 
used by the Market Gardeners for first plant- 
ing in Spring. It is the hardiest and most 
pr olific 4 variety and comes in the market before 
any other kind. The pods are flat and long. 
They generally command high prices in the 
beginning, but after the Best of All comes in 
it loses its value, as the latter variety is given 
the preference, owing to its shape and “good 
keeping quality. 
Wardweil’s i: warf Kidney Wax 
Beans. This is the best Bush Wax Bean 
in cultivation. It is early, the pods are longer 
but of same shape as Dwarf Golden Wax; 
very prolific and hardy. It is not so apt to 
rust as the other varieties of Wax Beans. 
Planted almost exclusively for the market by 
the New Orleans Market Gardeners. 
Southern Willow-Leaf Sewee 
or Butter Beans. This is the most 
prolific and hardiest growing Butter Bean in 
the South; it stands our Summer heat and 
drought better than any other variety. It is 
quite a distinct kind from any other, as ‘can 
be seen by the leaves which are trifoliate and 
shaped like the Willow, therefore its name. It 
is almost exclusively planted here by the New 
Orleans Market Gardeners who give it the 
preference of any other Butter Bean, as it is 
the most profitable for our section. It was 
introduced by me some years ago and has 
been brought out here of late by Northern 
Seedsmen as something new. 
White Crease Back Pole 
Beans. My own introduction. This is 
one of the best and leading Pole Beans in 
cultivation. It is the only Pole variety used 
in the Spring for shipping, earlier and more 
prolific than the Southern Prolific, round 
podded with a deep crease in the back, 
hence its name. During the shipping sea- 
son they are stenciled Mobile Beans; this = 
name is wrongly applied. It is one of the 
best shipping Beans ever introduced and 
carries better than any other variety for 
long distances. When in season it cannot 
be surpassed. During the Summer the , 
‘Southern Prolific” 
the heat better. 
Golden Wax Flageolet Pole 
Beams. Although only introduced a few 
years ago it has become one of the standard 
market varieties. Itis one of the best Wax 
Pole Beans in cultivation, as far as flavor and 
size of pods are concerned. It bears abund- 
antly and entirely stringless; hardly ever spots 
by rain or any untoward wedther as other 
Beans do. It is.a favorite with the New Orleans 
Market Gardeners. 
Crescent City Large Late Fiat 
Dutch Cabbage. A few years ago I in- 
troduced this Cabbate here under the title of

Stein’s Early Fiat Dutch Cab= 
bage. This is one of the earliest Cabbages 
for its size. Although only introduced here 
years ago it has become one

Recommend 
it very highly. 
New Orleans Market Cucumber. 
This is one of the best shipping Cucumbers 
ever introduced and cannot be surpassed by 
any other variety. It is almost the only kind 
planted here for forcing and shipping. When 
brought to the market it commands a higher
