Red Mexican Field Bean. (Not listed in seed catalogues. Seeds tested: Braslan,

 California. Colorado, and other parts of the West. It is of similar habit to Bayo 

 and Pinks and. like them, much more productive than eastern field varieties, but 

 possibly too late in season to be grown in New York or Michigan. It is thought 

 to be of Spanish or Mexican origin and seems to have been first cultivated in 

 this country in California. Seeds of the variety are illustrated on Plate I. 21.
