them. There are three words in common use by 
farmers that might well be dispensed with, 
viz., “Haw,” “Gee” and “Whoa.” Why 
should not a driver who wants his team to 
turn to the left, say so, or for short, “left!” in¬ 
stead of “Haw,” and “right” instead of “(lee,” 
The same objection may be made to “Whoa.” 
when used instead of “stop!” Animals would 
learn the meaning of one as readily and ns 
quickly as that of the other, and as readily 
obey it. They do not reason as to the deriv¬ 
ation or meaning of words, but are governed 
by sound. I once had a horse brought from a 
brisk trot to a sudden stop by the voice of a 
large Newfoundland dog by the roadside,w hich 
saluted us in passing with a sound that was as 
near “Whoa” as a dog could make it. 
Sailors might, with the same propriety, 
omit from their vocabulary Starboard and 
cribed as (a) red-seeded, with green pods; (b) 
red-seeded, with golden pods; (c) purple seed¬ 
ed, with golden pods. 
The red-seeded Variety of green pods differ 
hut little, if at all, from the bean introduced 
by various parties as the “Canadian Wonder.” 
or the “Rose Bean.” It is a vigorous grower, 
and heavy yielder, perhaps the most so of the 
three; out is less delicate in flavor, either as a 
snap or shell bean, than either of the others. 
The red-seeded, with golden pods, is a bean of 
great merit, a good grower, productive, and 
with long, straight pods which have never spot¬ 
ted in the least with me, In fact, this is char¬ 
acteristic of all three, aud isa point of much im¬ 
portance, especially to those who grow them 
for seed. Ferry’s Golden Wax, which is no 
earlier, or better, spots so badly with me that 
only one or two pickings can be made before

The warm weather has a debilitating effect,

they are ruined. This red-seeded variety is dis¬ 
tinguished from Mm succeeding (purplc-smlcd) 
by showing no red upon the seed until it begins 
to harden and color all over, while the purple- 
seeded shows a bright red eye almost as soon 
as the bean can be distinguished in the pod. By 
the seed alone, the two red-seeded varieties 
cannot be distiuguiKhed at any stage of growth. 
In only one catalogue (and thut a German 
one) have 1 seen the l’urple-seeded Flageolet 
mentioned, and there as a valuable novelty. 
It is very distinct, being nearly if not quite us 
vigorous and productive as the red-seeded 
with green pods, in this respect being much in 
advance of (b). The plant* are large with 
strong stems, which hold the long, straight- 
golden pods well up out of the dirt. It is 
difficult to imagine how any more pods could 
possibly grow on the plant, largo and vigorous 
as it is. Quite a number of gardeners looked 
over my experimental patch, where 04 differ¬ 
ent varieties aud strains of beans were grown 
last season, and all agreed that the Purple- 
Seeded Flageolet for a dwarf, and the Mont 
d’ Or for a pole “wax” (yellow-pod) bean, took 
the lead, and u long one, in their respective

BAKER’S SEEDLING POTATO. From Nature. Fig. 160 
a finer wax beau in cultivation. 1 have been 
very much interested in this class or family 
of beans, and they certainly possess a great 
deal of merit. I do not see ou what grounds, 
however, the so-called “Green-seeded Flageo¬ 
let” received the name, i here is no one in the 
whole list of garden beans, which is apparent¬ 
ly farther removed in all Characteristics from 
the large Flageolets than this little, strongly 
covered and round-podded, dark-green color¬ 
ed plant, with its particolored seeds. 
A few years ago I received from a li’ieud in 
Ohio, a quantity of “Flageolet Beaus,” in 
which I did not notice any particular difference 
when planting them, but which, in the two 
succeeding seasons, easily divided themselves 
into three distinct varieties, yet all were mani¬ 
festly ol’ the sume family. They may be des 
classes. The Flageolets have been recom¬ 
mended (by the Rural I think, and also by 
others) as being nearest in quality, as n shell 
beau, to the Limas, of any in cultivation. 1 
think they will hear out that recommenda¬ 
tion, aud yet they are not Limas. If we are 
ever going to get a bean equal to the Lima, 
but hardy and early enough for the northern 
tier of States, I think it will have to bo 
produced by crossing the Lima upon the White 
Runner. They are evidently closely related, 
aud it ought not to be difficult to unite, by 
crossing, the delicacy of the one with the 
hardiness of t he other.
