FOR THE SOUTHERN STATES. 



23; 



llVhite Kidney. A good strong grow- 

 ing variety, not much planted. 



Early China Red-Eye. Early and 

 of good quality, but not very popular. 



Red Kidney. This kind is largely 

 planted for the New Orleans market. It is a 

 coarse growing variety, and much used for 

 shelling when the pods turn yellow, so that 

 the beans are well developed, but yet soft. 



Dwarf Oolden l»l^ax. A dwarf va- 

 riety with fiat pods, longer than the Dwarf 

 German Wax; entirely stringiess and white, 

 mottled with purplish red. This variety will 

 come into general cultivation, and will in time 

 take the place of the black seeded Wax, being 

 earlier and more productive. 



Best of All. A variety from Germany of 

 great merit, introduced here by me. It is 

 green podded, long and succulent; it is prolific 

 and well flavored. An excellent variety for 

 shipping and family use. It is not quite so 

 early as the Mohawk, but is of superior quality 

 for shipping, and, therefore, is almost the onlj^ 

 kind planted here for that purpose. The cut 

 is a good representation as it grows; it shows 

 only two-thirds of its natural size. Can not 

 be too highly recommended. I expect to have 

 a full supply this year. 



Improved Valentine. This variety 

 has all the good qualities of the old Valentine; 

 only, it is ten days earlier, a great consideration 

 when planted for the market; it mil supersede 

 the old variety of Valentine. 



lVard\^^ell 's Dwarf Kidney 

 Wax. This kind was introduced three years 

 ago. It is the best dwarf Wax Bean in culti- 

 vation; it is quite early; the pods are of similar 

 shape as the Golden Wax, but longer; color of 

 a beautiful golden yellow. They are very 

 prolific and hardy, surpassing any other Dwarf 

 Wax Bean that I know of. The color of the 

 bean is somewhat like the Golden Wax, but 

 more kidney-shaped and more spotted with 

 dark purple. It has done best here among 

 the Dwarf Wax Beans. Of all the many new 

 kinds I have tried, I found none to excel it. 



Dwrarf Flag-eolet "Wax. A German 

 variety which figures as Perfection Wax, also 



Best of All Beans
