half to five and one-half feet in height, they stood six inches to a 
foot above any other variety and more than that above the Mam- 
moth Yellow; they remained green and healthy in appearance 
thruont the season and produced a good crop of beans which 
were about mature on September 8, when the field was pastured 
to hogs. Perhaps the size of these plants was somewhat reduced 
by the action of the two organisms. Unfortunately there were 
no check plants with which these could be compared since the 
entire held was- infected. Affected plants of this variety, how- 
ever, yielded as well as the average healthy Mammoth \Yllow 
plants hi nearby helds. 
dlie Brown so}^ bean is identical Avith the Mammoth Yellow 
in habit-type and is very similar to it in other respects. The color 
of the seed is the only apparent difference. This A^ariety has been 
groAvn but A^ery little in North Carolina, but tests have shoAvn that 
it is as desirable in every respect, if not more so, than the present 
. favorite variety, the Mammoth YelloAv, Avhich suffers greatly 
from Fusarium blight. Mr. AValter Mdiite at Edenton, N. C., says 
that he prefers the BroAvn to the Mammoth Yellow because it 
produces more forage and more seed and can be grown AvhereAxr 
conditions are favorable to the Mammoth YelloAv. 
The Haberlandt Auiriety, AAdiich is also suitable to conditions 
in North Carolina, dcA'elops well in spite of rather seAxre 
Fusarium and nematode infection. 
The BroAvn and Haberlandt varieties are preferable to the 
Black E}^ebroAv for planting in infected soil, especially if nema- 
todes are j)resent, eA^eii tho the latter should remain free from 
Fusarium infection.
