DWARF TOUGH-PODDED KIDNEY BEANS 53 



Flageolet Bean, the pods of which are of a darker colour outside, 

 and the seed being permeated throughout with a larger amount of 

 green colouring matter, which latter 

 is of a more durable nature than 

 is found in any other of the Tough- 

 podded Kidney Beans. 



Chevrier Dwarf Flag-eolet 

 Bean. — A distinct variety, differing 

 from the Green-seeded Flageolet 

 almost as much as that differs 

 from the White Flageolet, so intense 

 is the green colour of the seed. 

 Sent out only a few years ago, it 

 has quickly become very popular 

 among the growers in the vicinity 

 of Paris. 



Wonder ot France Dwarf 

 Bean.— The Chevrier Bean, like 

 the White Flageolet Bean, has the 

 serious defect of being very much 

 exposed to the attacks of rust. 

 This evil is considerably lessened 

 in some of the later strains, the 

 first of which in date, the Marvel 

 of Paris, is a fine variety with 

 numerous, long, straight, beautiful 

 deep green pods and well-coloured 

 seeds. It differs but little from 

 that of the Chevrier Bean in these 

 characteristics. 



King of the Green Bean— Of remarkable vigour in growth, and 

 somewhat taller than Wonder of France, though not quite as early. 

 It is a hardy plant, suited for field culture, and wonderfully produc- 

 tive. It is one of the best for 

 the production of dry green 

 Flageolets ; for not only is the 

 skin of the seed very thin, but 

 the bushes shed the whole of 

 their foliage as soon as the 

 pods are full and ripe, so that 

 the plants, if pulled up then, 

 may be easily stacked at once. 



Dwarf Flageolet Triumph 

 of the Frames. — Very dwarf 

 and compact, suited for cultivation under glass, not exceeding 8 in. 

 in height. Leaves of average size, pretty smooth ; pods very
