to set, pinch off the tops ; this will insure the filling of pods and 
hasten the maturity of the seeds. A strong, heavy soil, with a con- 
siderable portion of clay, is indispensable for a good crop of this 
class of beans.

Early Mazagan.— This variety is suitable both for field and 
garden culture. The stalks are four or five feet long, producing 
long narrow pods, containing four or five seeds to each. It re- 
quires good land in high condition, and should be cultivated in 
wide rows 10c. 40c. 
Broad Windsor. — A superior sort, particularly valuable from 
its habit of ripening unequally — some pods being quite full, while 
others are in various stages of filling — yielding a convenient sup- 
ply daily for a considerable length of time 10c. 40c. 
BEANS— (Dwarf, Snap, or Bush.) 
Under the name of Dwarfs are classified all the low growing sorts 
called in different catalogues Bush, Snap, String or French Beans. 
The following are considered the most desirable varieties. 
Early China.— Very early and of fine quality ; seeds white, 
colored and spotted about the eye with purplish red 8c. 25c. 
Early Long- Yellow Six Weeks.— Hardy and prolific ; 
seeds pale yellowish drab, with an olive green line about the eye. 8c. 25c. 
Eary Valentine.— Early, productive, tender, succulent, and 
of excellent flavor ; continues longer in the green state than most 
of the varieties . oo 8c. 25c. 
Early Mohawk.— This variety is the most suitable for North- 
ern latitudes, as it is less susceptible of injury from cold than 
most of the others ; very productive and of good quality 8c. 25c. 
I>warf White Wax.— A most excellent variety, highly es- 
teemed for their white, tender, succulent pods. The seeds of 
this variety are white, as well as the pods, adding much to its 
value, and giving it a decided preference over the black-seeded 
sorts. It is also very prolific, the vines being literally covered 
with pods 10c. 30c. 
Dwarf Horticultural— Excellent, green or dry, 8c. 25c. 
Improved White Pea.— For field culture, the best variety . . 8c. 20c. 
BEANS— (Pole or Running,) 
These are more tender, and require rather more care in culture 
than the Bush beans ; they succeed best in sandy loam, which should 
be liberally enriched with short manure in the hills, which are form- 
ed, according to the variety, from three to four feet apart ; from five 
to six seeds are planted in each hill, about two inches deep. 
!Large White Lima.-A large, late bean, with broad, rough'" * P *' **' 
pod; seeds, white, broad, and rather full. It is surpassed by 
no other variety, and is a genera] favorite wherever it can be cul- 
tivated ; sometimes the plant is destroyed by cold, wet weather • 
to insure against this, the beans can be sprouted in flower pots 
and set out when the weather becomes warm, which will inl 
crease their earliness two or three weeks 15 c# 50c.
