will be the more likely to meet the taste of the 
British public because the pods are green. In 
addition to mere outward appearance, the pods 
recommend themselves on account of their fine 
flavour. The special character of this variety is that 
the fibro-vascular tissue is so much reduced as to be 
hardly perceptible in the cooked pods, which are 
therefore described as stringless. This quality they 
retain even when comparatively old, so that they

and, btiag naturally early, it is well adapted for such 
soils, which are always more profitably cropped before 
the drought of summer has dissipated their moisture^ 
The qualities, therefore, that recommend Canadian

CARTERS’ STRINGLESS FRENCH 
BEAN. 
There are several stringless Beans in cultivation, 
but a large proportion of them belong to the Waxpod 
or Butter Bean section, which is characterised by 
the uniformly pale or clearjellow colour of the pods. 
Carters’ Stringless French Bean, Canadian Glory, 
require less preparation for use than the ordinary 
kind. The plant itself is dwarf and highly prolific; 
and what is even of greater importance in the 
presence of so many varieties in cultivation, the 
variety is very early. Some of those who have 
grown it, even go lurther and say that it is the earliest 
or quickest French Bean they have ever tried, This 
will be an advantage both for forcing purposes and 
are large, smooth, greeD, striDgless, and of excellent 
flavour when cooked. Messrs. J. Carter & Co., High 
Holborn, London, sent it out last year for the first 
time, so that it is still in its infancy and relatively 
little known, even although the stock of seeds was 
very soon all sold out last year. We are indebted 
to Messrs. Carter for an opportunity of laying this 
novelty before our readers.
