‘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 - 
shipping purposes; and when in 
season, it can not be surpassed.. For 
early summer, the Southern Prolific 
is preferable, standing the heat bet- 
ter. Some two years ago I received 
half a bushel from near Mobile, Aia., 
and all the beans of this variety 
about here ean be traced back to that 
half bushel. I supplied two growers 
in Georgia where it was not known 
at that time. I expect to havea full 
supply this season. There is a light 
brown bean, streaked and mottled 
with dark brown and black of the 
same name; butit is not equal tothe 
whitevariety. 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.”’
