CLIMBING FRENCH BEAN.

TENDER 
AND 
TRUE. 
PRICE : 
2s. per pint. 
This Bean combines 
all the merits of Cana¬ 
dian Wonder (which 
it resembles in the pod) 
with the characteristics 
of the running varieties. 
It not only comes into 
bearing some time before 
the Scarlet Runners, but 
continues to produce a 
fine supply of pods until 
cut down by frost.

CERTIFICATE, 
R.H.S., Sept. 3,1891. 
“Tender and True 
Runner Bean. — The 
public ought to be greatly 
indebted to Messrs. Sutton 
& Sons for the introduc¬ 
tion of this splendid 
novelty. The seed re- 
sembles theordinary 
French Bean. Canadian 
Wonder sown at the same 
time is all over. Tender and 
True is covered with well¬ 
shaped pods about the 
size of those of Canadian 
Wonder, and is likely to 
continue cropping until 
frost cuts it down. This 
Bean is likely to be much 
heard of in the near 
future.—R.” Journal of

J>lant Nomenclature.— Linnaeus con- 
r ferred a great boon upon botanists, 
horticulturists, and plant lovers of all 
degrees and stations throughout the world, 
when he invented the binominal method of 
naming plants. Previous to that, the only 
way of distinguishing one species from 
another was to give a short description of 
it which to be of sufficient length to enable 
a plant to be identified by it must have 
been exceedingly cumbrous and impossible 
to arrange in any alphabetical sequence. 
Our own Philip Miller,who wrote the time¬ 
serving Dictionary of Gardening of his day, 
may be taken as an example of how the 
naming of plants was managed and placed
