Bayo Field Bean. (Not listed in seed catalogues. Seeds tested: Braslan, 1905, 

 1906.) This is a very large, late, semirunning field variety, extensively planted in 

 the Sacramento Valley region of California, but possibly too late in season for grow- 

 ing in the East. Enormous crops are obtained in California, the yields far sur- 

 passing those obtained from field varieties grown in New York and Michigan. 

 Wickson states there are two types, one of which is small-seeded, and known as 

 Bayo Grande and the other large-seeded and known as Bayo Chico. The seed is 

 said to have been brought to California from Chile about 1849. Seed of the variety 

 is shown on 'Plate II, 10.
