FOR THE SOUTHERN STATES. 27 
EANS. 
POLE OR RUNNING. 
Haricots 4 Rames (Fr.), StanGEN-BoHNEN (Ger.), Friszon Vastaao (Sp.). 
Large Lima. Southern Prolific. 
Carolina or Sewee. Crease Back. 
Horticultural or Wren’s Egg. New Golden Wax Flageolet. 
Dutch Case Knife. Lazy Wife's. 
German Wax or Butter. Southern Willow-leaved Sewee or Butter. 
Large Lima. A well-known and excellent variety. It is the best shell bean 
known. Should have rich ground, and plenty room to grow. 
Carolina or Sewee. A variety similar to the Lima; the only difference is, the 
seeds and pods are smaller. It is generally culti- 
vated, being more productive than the Large 
Lima. 
Horticultural or Wreiu’s Egg, does not 
grow very strong; bears well, pods about six 
inches long, which are roundish and very tender. 
Dutch Case Kunmife. A very good pole bean; 
it is early; pods broad and long, somewhat 
turned towards the end. 
German Wax. This is a fine variety, and 
has the same good qualities as the German Dwarf 
Wax. Pods have a waxy appearance; very suc- 
culent and tender. 
Southern Prolific. No variety will continue 
longer in bearing than this. It stands the heat of 
the summer better than any other, and is planted 
to succeed the other kinds. It is a very strong 
erower; pods about seven inches long and flat; 
seeds are dark yellow or rather light brown. Itis 
the standard variety for the New Orleans market, 
for late spring and summer. 
Crease Back. A variety of Pole Beans which 
has been cultivated in the South for a long time, 
but has never come into the trade till introduced 
by me. Itis an excellent bean, earlier than the 
“Southern Prolific.’’ Seeds white; pods round, 
with a crease in the back, from which the name. 
It is a good grower, bears abundantly, and, if 
shipped, will keep better than most other kinds. It 
sells better in the spring than any other for ship- 
ping purposes; and when in season, it can not be 
surpassed. For early summer, the Southern Pro- 
lific is preferable, standing the heat better. 
Several years ago I received half a bushel from 
near Mobile, Ala., and all the beans of this variety 
about here can be traced back to that half bushel. 
I supplied two growers in Georgia where it was 
not known at that time. I expect to have a 
full supply this season. There is a light brown / 
bean, streaked and mottled with dark Lrown and White Crease Back Beans.
