ANALYSES OF BEANS. 
The Turtle-soup bean is particularly excellent for soups, having the rich flavor of the green 
turtle soup. Whether this quality is connected with the composition of the ash, is not 
easily determined : it however contains much soda and less potash than other varieties. 
It is worthy of notice, too, that the soda of beans is not in combination with chlorine, but 
probably with sulphuric acid.
