Snowflake Field Bean. (See p. 82.) 



Southern Creaseback Pole. (Listed by 6 seedsmen. Seeds tested: Thorburn, 

 1897, 1905.) Same as White Creaseback Pole. Named sometime after the intro- 

 duction of White Creaseback in 1881. 



Southern Prolific Pole. (See p. 122.) 



Southern Willow-Leaved Sewee Pole Lima. A name sometimes applied to Wil- 

 low-Leaved Pole Lima. 



Speckled Beauty Pole Lima. (Listed by 1 seedsman.) Apparently first cata- 

 logued in 1906 by Otto Schwill & Co. The description given by them states that 

 the variety is the same as Calico Pole Lima, and indicates that it is similar to or iden- 

 tical with Florida Butter Pole Lima.

 to Ruby Horticultural Bush. 



Speckled Cranberry Pole. (Listed by 48 seedsmen. Seeds tested: Ferry, 1898,

 Horticultural Pole. Name has been in common use since about 1855.

 Steckler, 1904.) Same as Perfectly Straight Round Pod, more generally known as

Stokes's Evergreen Pole Lima. (Listed by 1 seedsman. Seeds tested: Johnson 

 & Stokes, 1905, 1906.) Trial too incomplete to describe type fully, but pod evidently 

 of same class as Salem Mammoth, and possibly a selection of that variety. Appar- 

 ently a different type of pod from Evergreen Pole Lima of William Henry Maule. 

 Introduced about 1892 by Johnson <% Stokes, who state the variety to be valuable 

 and distinct because of seeds holding their green color at all stages, even the dry 

 seeds remaining green when cooked. 



Sunshine Bush Wax. (Listed by 1 seedsman. Seeds tested: Bolgiano, 1905.) 

 Same as Golden Eyed Wax. Apparently a recent introduction of J. Bolgiano & 

 Son. 



Sunshine Wax Pole. (See p. 132.) 



Sutton's Dwarf Forcing. (Listed by 1 seedsman. Seeds tested: Moore & Simon, 

 1906.) Trial too poor to make a full description of the type, but evidently a very 

 distinct sort, peculiar for very small size of plant, exceedingly compact habit, and 

 numerous fruit spurs projecting high above foliage. Pods more like Ne Plus Ultra 

 than any other on trial, differing principally in being darker green in color, smaller 

 and narrower in shape of pod, and shorter in pod point. First listed in this country 

 in 1906 by Moore & Simon, and apparently introduced from England. 



Sutton's Dwarf Sugar. (Listed by 1 seedsman. Seeds tested: Schlegel & Fott- 

 ler, 1905.) Same as Best of All Bush, and consisting wholly of the round-podded 

 type. Introduced from England, and first listed in this country by Schlegel & 

 Fottler in 1905. Much more even and purer than present stocks of Best of All.

 1903.) Same as Longfellow. An English sort first listed in this country by Schlegel 

 & Fottler in 1903.

 known to botanists as Vicia faba. 



Tait's White Wax. (Listed by 1 seedsman. Seeds tested: J. Bolgiano, 1905.) 

 Same as Davis Wax. Introduced about 1898 by Geo. Tait <k Sons. 



Tall German Black Wax Pole. A name often applied to Black Wax Pole. 



Tall July Runner Pole. (Listed by 1 seedsman. Seeds tested: Thorburn, 1901,
