Oeriiian Dwarf Wax. A new variety which is unsur- 

 passed as a snap bean. Pods are of a wax color and have no 

 strings; quite productive. Has come into general cultivation; 

 cannot be too highly recommended. 



White Kidney. A good strong growing variety, not much 

 plante<i. 



Red Speckled French is another strong growing variety, 

 planted a good deal for ihe New Orleans market as a second cr.»p, 

 being about ten days lat^r than the Mohawk and Yellow Six 

 Weeks. It is hardy and productive. 



Karly China Red-Eye. Early and of good quality, but 

 not very popular. 



Red Kidney. This variety is larg. ly planted for the Kew 

 Orhaits market. Jt is a coarse growing variety, and much used 

 for shelling when the pods turn yellow, so that the beans are well 

 developed but soft yet- 



Dwari Golden Wax. (New.) A dwarf variety with flat 

 pod^, lotiger than tho Dwarf German Wax ; entirely striugless; 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 })roductive. 



I have a number of new varieties on trial, which if they are 

 good and profitable, I will introduce next year.

Large Lima. A well known and excellent variety. It is 

 the bci^t shell bean known. Should have rich ground, and plenty 

 room to grow. 



Carolina or Sewee, A variety similar to the Lima -, the 

 only difteience is, the seeds and pods are smaller. It is generally 

 cultivated, being more productive than the Large Lim;i. 



Horticultiiral or Wren's Egg*, does not grow very 

 strong, bears weli, pods about six inches long, which are round- 

 ish and very tender. 



Dutcli Case Knife. A very good pole bean ; it is early 5 

 pods broiid and long, i^omewhat 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 succulent 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 kind^. It is a 

 very strong grower; pods about seven inches long, flat; seeds 

 dark yellow or rather light brown. It is the standard variety for 

 the JSew Orleans market for late spring and summer.
