Our bush beans were planted May 6 . 
Rogers’ Lima Wax, seed from H. A. 
Dreer, of Philadelphia, Pa. June 6, 
white flowers, bushes a foot high, small 
and large pods 17 to a bush, the largest 
being about two inches long. July 10, 
first picking. Pushes 15 inches high, 
very productive of pods two to three 
inches long and half an inch broad, 
of variable shape ; tender and string¬ 
less. July 13, still quite stringless. 
August 3, one of the most prolific va¬ 
rieties of bush beans that we have. 
This was one of the novelties of last 
year, and is this year placed in some of 
the novelty lists. The color of the pods 
is of a semi-transparent lemon color, but 
the variable shape and flabbiness of the 
pods will prevent this variety becoming 
a market favorite. In quality, the beans 
are tender and of delicate flavor. 
New Davis Kidney Wax bean, from 
William H. Maule, Philadelphia, Pa. 
July G, the bushes were about 20 
inches high, averaging 54 pods, large 
and small, to a plant. The pods are 
straight, about six inches long, half an 
inch wide. Many of the pods were yel¬ 
low July 6. We find this one of the earli¬ 
est and most prolific of wax beans. The 
earlier beans are stringless ; later they 
become stringy. This novelty was first 
offered last year. The seeds are white 
and of kidney shape, and we would sup¬ 
pose that it would prove a valuable 
variety for canning. 
Crimson Beauty, from Frank Ford & 
Son, Ravenna, O. Planted May 6, as 
were all the varieties that we are speak¬ 
ing of. July 6, bushes seven inches 
high, the pods about five inches long 
and half an inch broad. Not abso¬ 
lutely stringless, but nearly so at this 
time. The bushes seem about as pro¬ 
lific as they well can be. One bush 
pulled at random, bore 29 pods, all 
straight. July 17, the plants were 15 
inches high, exceedingly productive of 
nods averaging five inches in length, 
averaging five large beans in a pod. 
Earliest Red Valentine, from Peter 
Henderson & Co., New York. July 6, 
the bushes were about 17 inches high, 
the pods averaging four inches long, 
round, and all flesh, slightly stringy. 
Counting the pods on one bush taken 
at random, there were 57 pods, large and 
small. It is not claimed that this differs 
from the Early Red Valentine except in 
earliness. It seems to us to be about a 
week earlier. 
Valentine Wax bean, J. M. Thorburn 
& Co., New York. June 30, the bushes 
were 12 inches high. July 5, pods nearly 
straight, the largest at this date being 
four inches long and three-eighths of an 
inch in diameter, nearly stringless. 
About 1G pods to a plant, 10 per cent of 
which being yellow. This variety is 
probably as early as any Wax bean. 
The pods are fleshy and the quality of 
the best for snaps. It is one of the most 
productive varieties that we have tried, 
considering the height of the bush. 
Keeney’s Rustless Golden Wax, from 
Thorburn & Co. July 6, half bush, half 
vine, from 12 to 15 inches high, small 
and large pods 40 to a plant which still 
bears great numbers of flowers and buds. 
The pods are slighly curved, the longest 
at this time being four inches long and 
half an inch broad. July 17, the pods, 
even when almost mature, are nearly 
stringless. The color is a bright yellow 
and the quality first-rate. The plants 
continue to bear during an unusually 
long season. 
Longfellow Rush bean, from Peter 
Henderson & Co. This is a green- 
podded variety and among the first to 
mature. Half-grown pods were picked 
June 30; the bushes were then a foot 
high and very prolific. Long, narrow, 
fat peds July 6, bushes were upwards 
of 20 inches high, some of the pods being 
curved, some being straight, the longest 
being six inches, width half an inch. 
July 17, long, round, fleshy pods, some¬ 
what stringy. About 20 pods to a bush. 
Marvel of Paris, July 6, vines a foot 
high a couple of days later than Long¬ 
fellow. July 17, vines 20 inches high, 
pink flowers, pods of a green color and 
straight. The longest about six inches, 
half an inch broad. Thirty, small and 
large, pods to a plant. The beans are 
stringy and it is not apparent why the 
variety should be called “Marvel.” 
Resides the above varieties of beans, 
we raised the following kinds sent to us 
by Richard Nott of Burlington, Vt., 
viz,: Nos. 35, 45, 56, 65, 75 and 85. As 
these have not been named, a descrip¬ 
tion of them would be valueless to our 
readers .
