Early Yellow Six Weeks. This is the most popular sort 

 among market-gardeners, pods flat and long. A very good bearer. 



German Dwarf 'Wax. A new variety which is unsurpassed as 

 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. 



White 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.

 Southern Prolific 



Earge Eima. A well known and excellent variety, it is the best 

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



Carolina or Sewee. A variety similar to the Lima, the only 

 difference is, the seeds and pods are smaller. It is generally cultivated 

 being more productive than the Large Lima. 



Horticultural or Wren's Egg, does not grow very strong, 

 bears well, pods about six inches long which are roundish and very 

 tender. 



Dutch Case Knife, a very good, pole bean; it is early; pods 

 broad and long, somewhat turned towards the end. 



derma 11 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 Proline. 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 kinds. 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 New Orleans market for late spring 

 and summer.

 spring they will not produce much.
