Soldier bean. A variety known as Soldier was procured from an ex- 

 hibit of the New Hampshire Horticultural Society, and was said (in 

 1916) to be grown locally. The dry seed has the shape and appearance 

 of White Kidney — white, with markings about as extensive as in Yellow 

 Eye but of vinaceous color. The plants are determinate and large. 



Sulphur bean. — A variety known as Sulphur was procured at the same 

 time and place as the Soldier bean. In seed characters it corresponds 

 most nearly with Eureka, but is smaller and more nearly round. It dif- 

 fers from Eureka also in its resistance to race gamma. 



Leopard. Another local variety from New Hampshire, known as 

 Leopard, is also very highly resistant to anthracnose. This is not the 

 stringless snap bean described by Jarvis under this name, but a dry -shell 

 variety. The dry seeds of this variety are about the size of White Im- 

 perial, but are colored on the ventral side a deep bluish purple, and 

 have spots of this same color all over the dorsal side which otherwise is 

 white. 



Boston I'x auty. Another local variety from New Hampshire is Boston 

 Beauty. The seeds are somewhat shorter than those of Leopard, but 

 they are marked like them except that the color is vinaceous red. 



Jacob's Cattle Another local variety from New Hampshire, Jacob's 

 Cattle, is very much like Boston Beauty but the seeds are larger and 

 longer and the seed is more nearly covered with vinaceous red color.
