black of the same name; but it is not equal to the white 
variety. In some localities this kind is called ‘‘Calico Crease 
Back.’’ The white seeded variety is also known in some 
sections by the name of ‘‘Fat Horse.”’ 
New Goiden Wax Flageolet. This variety was in- 
troduced two years ago; it was brought out from Germany. 
After another year’s experience I can confirm all what is 
elaimed for it. Itis the best Wax Pole Bean in cultivation, 
surpasses in length and delicacy of flavor all other Wax 
varieties. It is a very 
strong grower, which is 
wanting by most of the 
Wax Pole kinds. It bears 
abundantly, is entirely 
stringiess, and does not 
spot, even by too much 
rain or other untoward 
weather. Cannot be too 
highly recommended. 
The Golden Wax Pole 
Bean, brought out last 
year, I have dropped, as 
it can stand no compari- 
son with the Golden Wax 
Flageolet. 
Lazy Wife’s. A new 
Pole Bean from Penn- 
sylvania. The pods are 
entirely stringless, 4—5 
inches long, and have a 
fine flavor when cooked. 
They retain their rich 
flavor until nearly ripe. 
The Beans are white, and 
as fine as a shell Bean.

Lazy Wife’s Pole Beans. which is grown by the 
market gardeners about 
New Orleans; the pods and beans are the same as the Sewee or Carolina Bean; it 
is quite distinct in the leaves, being narrow like the willow. It stands the heat 
better than any other Butter Bean, and is very productive. Try it.
