CATALOGUE OF VARIETY NAMES.

Canadian Wonder. (See p. 60.) 



Canavalia ensiformis. This species has never been listed by American seedsmen, 

 but according to L. H. Bailey the plant is a tropical species and quite widely 

 cultivated. It is fully described in Bulletin No. 115 of the Cornell University 

 Agricultural Experiment Station, where it is stated that the species has become 

 generally distributed throughout the Southern States during the past few years 

 and commonly known there as Jack bean and sometimes as Chickasaw Lima and 

 Horse bean, its seeds are similar in shape to those of Bush Multiflora or Barteldes's 

 Bush Lima, illustrated on Plate IV, 25. The vines ripen too late to be of value in 

 the North and the variety is apparently of limited usefulness even in the South. 



Carmine-Podded Horticultural Bush. (Listed by 2 seedsmen. Seeds tested: 

 Gregory. 1906.) Same as Ruby Horticultural Bush. First named and introduced 

 in 1888 by James J. H. Gregory & Son. 



Carolina Bush. Lima. Not listed by seedsmen, but sometimes applied by garden- 

 er's to Henderson's Bush Lima. 



Carolina Pole Lima. (Listed by 22 seedsmen. Seeds tested: Johnson & Stokes, 

 1897.) Same as Small White Pole Lima. Known by this name for over one 

 hundred years. 



Carolina Sewee Pole Lima. Not listed by American seedsmen, but sometimes 

 applied by gardeners to Carolina Pole Lima or Small White Pole Lima. 



Challenge Black Wax. (See p. 93.) 



Challenger Bush Lima. Not listed by seedsmen, but sometimes applied by gar- 

 deners to Dreer's Bush Lima. 



Challenger Pole Lima. (Listed by 34 seedsmen. Seeds tested: Burpee, 1897; 

 Dreer. 1900: Ferry. 1903. 1906: Fish.' 1903. 1905: Thorburn. 1901. 1903. 1905.) Same 

 as Dreer's Pole Lima. Introduced about 1882 by J. M. Thorburn & Co. It seems 

 to have first attracted the attention of John M. Kumerle. of Newark, N. J., who 

 writes the seed was obtained by him from Mr. V. J. Hedden, of East Orange, in 

 whose family it had been for many years. Introduced as an improvement in size 

 of pod over Dreer's Pole Lima, but at the present day seedsmen's stocks of the two 

 kinds are commonly the same, the old smaller stock of Dreer's Pole Lima having 

 been dropped and the larger podded Challenger used in its place. 



Cherry Pole. (Listed by 3 seedsmen.) A name sometimes loosely applied to 

 London Horticultural, but very objectionable because so often mistaken as refer- 

 ring to White Cherry, better known as Lazy Wife Pole. 



Chickasaw Lima. A field or fodder bean, unfit for table use, and never listed by 

 American seedsmen. Same as Canavalia ensiformis. previously described, and not 

 strictly a Lima. 



Childs's Extra Early Pole Lima. (Listed by 1 seedsman. Seeds tested: Childs, 

 1905.) Same as White Dutch Runner Pole. Introduced in 1903 by John Lewis 

 Childs. who writes the variety originated with R. H. Palmer, of Kennedy, N. Y. 



Childs's Horticultural Pole. (See p. 115.) 



Chilean Field Bean. (Listed by 1 seedsman.) A name applied by Frank S. 

 Piatt Company to Red Kidney and quite different from the white-seeded pea 

 bean sometimes sold as Chilean and Chilean Pea. 



Chilean Pea Field Bean. Apparently not listed by American seedsmen, but occa- 

 sionally found in local markets. A late type of field pea bean, quite similar to 

 Lady Washington. 



China Red Eye. .See p. 60.) 

 Concord Pole. (See p. 116.) 



Cornfield Pole. (Listed by 9 seedsmen.) A name sometimes applied to Cora Hill 

 Pole or Speckled Cut Short Pole. 



Corn Hill Pole. (Listed by 41 seedsmen. Seeds tested: Ferry. 1898. 1900: Thor- 

 burn. 1901.) Same as Speckled Cut Short Pole. One of the oldest sorts now listed 

 by American seedsmen. Probably the same as Com bean, listed by American 

 seedsmen about 1835.
