For the Southern States. 25 
Early Yellow Six Weeks. This is the most popular sort 
amon2z maket-gardeners. Pods flat and long; a very good bearer. 
German Dwarf Wax. A new variety which is unsurpassed 
asasnap bean. Pods are of a wax color and have no strings; quite 
productive. Has come into general cultivation ; cannot be too highly 
recommended. 
White Kidmey. A good strong growing variety, not much 
planted. . 
Red Speckied French is another strong growing variety, 
planted a good deal for the New Orleans market as a second crop, 
being about ten days later than the Mohawk and Yellow Six Weeks. 
It is hardy and productive. 
Early Chima Red-Eye. Early and of good quality, but not 
very popular. 
Red Kidney. Thisvariety islargely planted for the New Orleans 
market. Itis a coarse growing variety, and much used for shelling 
when the pods turn yellow, so that the beans are well developed but 
soft yet. 
Dwarf Goldem Wax. (New.) A dwarf variety with flat pods, 
longer than the Dwarf German Wax; entirely stringless; and white, 
mottled with purplish red. This variety will come into general cul- 
tivation, and will in time take the place of the black seeded Wax, 
being earlier and more productive. 
None of the kinds I had on trial turned out to be of any merit, 
except two, one a Wax Bean, “Golden Butter Wax;’’ seeds black, but 
the pods flat like the Golden Wax with much brighter color; early and 
good bearer. The other. variety, sent to me under the name of ‘‘Best 
of All,’ really deserves this name. It is a green podded kind, resem- 
bling the Crease Back, very prolific, no strings and well flavored. Un- 
fortunately the early frosts East where I have them grown destroyed 
almost the entire crop, and Iam not able to state whether I will have 
any for sale. . '

best shell bean known. Should have rich ground, and plenty room 
to grow.

vated, being more productive than the Large Lima.
