 a snap bean. Pods are of a wax color and have no strings. Quite produc- 

 tive. Has come into general cultivation, cannot be too highly recom- 

 mended. 



liVhite Kidney. A good strong growing variety, not much planted. 



Red Speckled French, is another strong growing variety plan- 

 ted 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 China Red Eye, early and of good quality, but not very 

 popular. 



Red Kidney. This variety 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 

 soft yet. 



JDvi^arf Crolden Wax. (New.) A dwarf variety with flat pods, 

 larger than the Dwarf German Wax, entirely stringless. Seed while, 

 mottled with purplish red. This variety will come into general cultiva-

Oerman 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.
