of Spring, when the ground has become warm and light. Hoe often to stir the 

 ground, but only when dry, because earth scattered on the leaves, when wet with 

 dew or rain, will rust them, and greatly injure the crop. Plant tv.o or three 

 inches apart, in two and a half feet drills, or in hills, one and a half feet apart 

 in the rows, and the rows two feet apart. 



Early China Red Eye. — A very excellent variety, both for string and 

 shelled beans, green or dry. It is a great bearer, and much esteemed in farm 

 cultivation. Pods, medium size and full ; seeds, white, with a bright red eye ; 

 round, oval shape. 



Early Mohawk. — This is considered the hardiest, and on that account to 

 answer best for first planting. It will endure a lir];ht frost without injury, and 

 continues a long time in bearing, if the green pods are gathered often. Pods, 

 pale green, long and flat ; seeds, large, kidney-shaped, brown and purple marbled. 



Early Red Yalcatine. — A most excellent variety, used principally for 

 snaps, having round, fleshy pods, which remain a long time brittle and tender. 

 Beans, long, light red and salmon-color marbled ; very early, a good bearer, and 

 is extensively cultivated. 



Extra Early Six Weeks, or Newington Wonder. — This is the eariie>t 

 of all varieties ; the pods are small and round, and are produced in bunches. 

 Much esteemed on account of its earliness and productiveness. 



(xerman Wax, Black Seeded. — This variety is the best of all beans 

 for cooking in the pods, which are delicious when fully grown ; beans, nearly 

 round, black ; pods, white ; a good bearer. We would particularly recommend 

 this variety to market gardeners, as being the most salable of all snap beans. 



German Wax, White Seeded. — A variety recently introduced from 

 Europe. The color of the seeds being white, it is by some preferred to the 

 preceding for cooking. With the exception of the color, it is identical with it. 



Early Yellow Six Weeks. — A small, round, oval bean; color, dark 

 orange ; dwarf growth ; quite early, as its name indicates, and a good bearer ; 

 used mostly in the pods. A general favorite with market gardeners, and good 

 for field culture. 



Early Yellow Kidney Six Weeks. — In growth and maturity, very 



similar to the above, but a better producer. Beans, kidney-shaped and large ; 

 color, light orange ; pods, long, flat, and well filled. A ver}- profitable variety 

 for field or garden \culture. 



Early tRachel. — Similar in growth to the China Red Eye ; an excellent 

 variety for string beans, and good shelled. Pods, medium size and full ; seeds, 

 dark brown with white end ; round, oval shape. 



Largre White Marrow, or Monntaln. — A large, round, oval, white 



bean, of excellent quality shelled, green or dn.-. Very tender, rich, and one of 

 the most productive beans grow n in the garden or field. 



White Corn Hill. — Nearly identical with the jSIarrow. It is a half 

 dwarf; if a kernel of com be planted in the hill, it will afford a good support 

 for the A^nes. Of excellent quality, green or dry. 



Royal Dwarf Kidney. — This is one of the best late kinds, and as a 

 shelling bean for winter use, has no equal. Pods, long, and rather flat ; beans, 

 white, round, long and kidney-shaped. Excellent green, and equal to any dry ; 

 good for field culture.
