TALL EDIBLE-PODDED KIDNEY BEANS 



readily. The seeds, or beans, are white, and of an elongated and 

 nearly cylindrical shape. It is, in fine, a good mid-season tall 

 variety of Butter Bean. 



Four to Four Bean. — Stems green, about 6J ft. in height, and 

 bearing pods at a short 

 distance above the ground. 

 The pods, which are long, 

 straight, thick and in- 

 tensely green, are often 

 produced in bunches of 

 four, or even more — hence 

 its name. The seed is 

 short, square at the ends, 

 fairly full and white. 

 Though not free from 

 fibre, the pods may be 

 eaten green until they are 

 three-fourths of their full 

 size. The white colour of 

 the seed allows of its being 

 used in a dried state. The 

 Four to Four Bean is 

 productive and fairly 

 early. 



Skinless Saint-Fiacre 



Bean. — One of the most 

 productive varieties of 

 Skinless Pole Beans. 

 Stems green, tall, with 

 large, smooth leaves ; 

 pods very numerous, quite 

 straight, about lO inches 

 in length, entirely without 

 membrane or fibre, and 

 tender and fleshy even 

 when fully grown. The 

 seed is oblong and thin, 

 dun-coloured, about | in. 

 long, about J in. broad, 

 and about half as thick. 

 A fairly early variety, 

 bearing during the whole 

 summer. 



Skinless White-seeded Saint-Fiacre Bean. — An offspring of 

 the preceding, with all its good qualities added to white seeds, 

 enabling the surplus of the crop to be made good use of when dry.
