Although advertised as a pole bean, as grown by us it could as well 
be grown as a bush bean without poles. \ Foliage abundant, leaflets of 
medium size, broadly obovate or almost triangular, taper pointed. 
Flowers purplish. Pods when fully developed, bright yellow with 
occasional purple splashes, more or less sickle form, somewhat swollen by 
the beans, tipped with a moderately short, stout, slightly curved point; 
when ripe, scarcely swollen, slightly wrinkled, almost cylinrical, light 
dun yellow, about five inches long, containing from four to five beans. 
Fully developed beans, dark reddish purple with veiny markings. Ripe ~ 
beans, oblong, not kidney form, the eye often protuberant, very slightly 
flattened on the sides, rarely compressed at the ends, dark brown indis- 
tinctly mottled with dull purple. Average size of ten beans, 1-2 inch 
long, 11-32 inch broad, 9-382 ingh thick. 
19. DwarF Monr D’OrR. 
A bush bean growing not over twelve inches high with no twining 
habit at all.. Foliage quite abundant, somewhat inclined to a wrinkled 
curly appearance, leaflets broadly ovate, taper pointed. Flowers pur- 
plish. Pods, when fully developed, pale cream color, obscurely flecked 
with purple, slightly sickle form, somewhat swollen by the beans, tipped 
with a straight point; when ripe quite strongly bent, slightly wrinkled, 
dun color, 3 1-2 to 4 1-2 inches long, containing from three to four 
beans. Fully developed beans dark reddish purple ; ripe beans oblong, 
not kidney-form, very slightly flattened at the sides, not compressed

20. DwarF BLAck Wax. 
Syn. Black Wax, Butter (Harris). 
A very low bush bean, about eight inches high, not much branched, 
very leafy, no indication ofrunners. Leaves dark green, quite inclined 
to curliness, leaflets rather small, broadly ovate, short pointed, the 
lateral often irregularly developed. Flowers purplish. Pods when 
fully developed, bright waxy yellow, quite strongly sabre-form, tipped 
with a curved rather slender point of medium Jength; when ripe, much 
shrunken, inclosing the beans very tightly, wrinkled, dark dun yellow, 
3-4 inch long, containing two to three beans. Beans oblong, very 
slightly kidney-form, scarcely flattened sidewise, not compressed on 
the ends, jet black. ‘The average size of ten beans measured was 7-16 
inch long, 1-4 inch broad, 1-4 inch thick. These beans may be dis- 
tinguished from the preceding by their greater proportionate length 
and by not having the pods flecked with purple.
