 IIUrilLUilUldl shelled either green or dry. Excels 

 also in earliness and productiveness. The pods when 

 of size for snaps are a beautiful golden yellow. Later 

 while maturing for green shells they become splashed 

 and mottled with an unusually bright carmine red. 

 The pods are then six to eight inches loner, straight, 

 very broad and wonderfully handsome. The quality 

 is so good, the shape and color so attractive that this 

 bean must become a favorite Horticultural variety.
