Remarks. 



The number of names to so-called varieties of Scarlet 

 Runners (eighteen) is very surprising where so little variety 

 really exists ; the chief real difference having relation to the 

 colour of the seed — the White-seeded being equal in quality to 

 the Scarlet. Size of pod being an important qualification, 

 many " Giants " have been introduced of recent years ; some 

 of these are, however, extremely coarse, and not prolific. One 

 of the best selections is Ne Plus Ultra. The Butter Beans 

 have not found much favour in this country, chiefly on account 

 of their colour. They are of very superior quality, however, 

 and should be largely grown. Amongst the Dwarf Kidney Beans 

 the Canadian Wonder — an old variety — is still one of the best. 



Dried Haricots were well represented from Mr. J. Perkins, 

 Thornham Hall, Eye, Suffolk.
