Yellow Eye Field Bean. (Listed by 3 seedsmen. Seeds tested: Haskell, 1905.) 

 A very old field variety listed by American seedsmen at least since 1874 and for- 

 merly grown more extensively than at present. Department trials were too incom- 

 plete to afford a basis for description, but enough development was made to show 

 that the variety is distinct and of about the same 'general usefulness as Improved 

 Yellow Eye, which it resembles more than any other, differing principally in nar- 

 rower, flatter seed, with smaller area of yellow around eye or of about the same color 

 and shape of seed as Golden-Eyed Wax (PI. Ill, 1); while pods are narrower and 

 vine less spreading in habit than Improved Yellow Eye. 



York Wax. (Listed by 1 seedsman.) Same as Golden Wax. One of the first culti- 

 vated wax varieties. First listed by James J. H. Gregory & Son about 1870. 



Yosemite Wax. (See p. 112.)
