this is a mistake; all varieties must, in 
order to get tender sprouts, be planted 
the same depth, that is, the crowns of the

plants must be at least from 8 to 10 
inches below the surface of the ground. 
Palmetto. Another good variety, es-

market; it has taken the 
place of the old variety of 
Valentine. 
Improved Prolific Dwarf 
German Wax. This varie- 
ty is a great improvement 
on its parent; the Dwarf 
German Wax. Pods are 
longer and more produc- 
tive, with the good quali- 
ties of the old kind, which 
was the first Wax Bean 
introduced here from Ger- 
many.
