about the eve with purplish red.

dial), with an olive-green line about the eye.

at one end, pods cri-p and tender when young. 
Refugee, or Thousand to One, not so early as above named varieties, but su¬ 
perior to any used as a pickling bean, for which it is grown very exten¬ 
sively; an abundant yielder. 
Turtle Soup, pods green and tender; seeds, when ripe are of a glossy black 
coLr, and, as the name suggests, much used for soup, which greatly re¬ 
sembles that known as Green Turtle.

excellent flavor, and used extensively as a shelled bean in a dry or green 
state..

pod ' transparent; waxy yellow, thick and very tender.

except in color, which is pure white..'. 
Crystal White Wax, a new and distinct white seeded variety with waxy 
transparent pod<. It is stringless, succulent, crisp, tender, and of the 
richest flavor. The pods, though quick to develop, are remarkably slow 
to harden, and therefore retain their delicious tenderness on the bush 
longer than any other sort. 
Golden Wax Dwarf, a distinct variety, earlier than the Dwarf Black Wax; 
the pods are large, long and brittle, and entirely stringless. As a snap 
bean it excels all other sorts in tenderness and richness of flavor, and 
has ihe further merit of being one of the best shell beans grown for winter 
use.

for cither the home or market garden. The vines are compact, bushy ; 
strong growers and arc without d ubt the most prolific of any variety of our 
garden beans. The pods are fit for the table at least a week earlier than 
the Black Wax, are long and handsome, of a beautiful, transparent, 
waxv-white color, and entirely stringier until nearly ripe. The ripe 
beans are medium sized, oval, white, and of excellent flavor. They are 
easily threshed, and are among the best for a shell bean for winter use, 
while as a snap bean it is perhaps superior to most other varieties in 
tenderness.

BEANS. Pole or Running. 
German, Stangen B'hne. French, Haricots a Ratnes. —Spanish, Judias. 
Pole Beans are generally planted in hills, about four feet apart, pu'.ting four or five beans in a 
hill, and leaving a space in the centre for the pole ; they should not be planted till all danger from 
frost is past,and the Lima and Sievanot until the 20th of May in our climate, as they will not grow 
until the weather and ground are warm. Lima beans may be forwarded in pots and transplanted 
with perfect success. 
Large White Lima, this is esteemed the best of all the pole beans, and is 
almost universally grown both for market and orivatc use. 
Small Lima or Sieva, it is earlier and more hardy than the preceding ; seed 
Dreer’s Improved Lima, the distinctive features of this variety are early ma¬ 
turity, large yield, and extra quality of bean. It is also claimed that it 
produces more shell beans to the pole than the large Lima. 
Dutch Case Knife, this is the earliest variety of pole beans. Pods long and 
fiat, beans white, fiat, kidney-shaped, and of excellent flavor; good green 
or dry.
