Earliest Market. (See p. 62.) 



Early Aroostook Field Bean. (See p. 63.) 



Early Black Pole Lima. (No longer used, or at least not now listed by seedsmen.) 

 Introduced in 1892 by W. Atlee Burpee & Co., and described as wonderfully pro- 

 ductive, of fine quality, and as earliest of all Limas. 



Early Carmine-Podded Dwarf Horticultural. (Listed by 2 seedsmen. Seeds 

 tested: Gregory, 1897, 1905.) Same as Ruby Horticultural Bush. Introduced in 

 1888 by James J. H. Gregory & Son. 



Early Erfurt Dwarf Prolific Broad. (Listed by 1 seedsman. Seeds tested: Iowa, 

 1905.) A variety of English Broad bean, first listed in 1902 by Iowa Seed Company. 

 Said to be earlier, more productive, and more drought resisting than the variety 

 commonly sold in this country as Broad Windsor. Our trials showed no differences 

 in these respects, but our results are of little importance, as the plants were grown 

 only in New York and Virginia, which sections are unsuited to this class of beans. 

 The variety might be given a more suitable test if grown in cooler weather or in a 

 cooler climate, such as along the Pacific coast or in the South during winter.
