Phaseolus, is familiar to all under the name of Bean. Some few are indi-

is an annual from South America. The blossoms are a brilliant scarlet, 
in which there is a slight dash of orange. There is also a variety with 
white and lilac flowers.

When fortune smiles, and duty points the way.”

good that is within our reach, is the great art of life.
