inches high. Foliage abundant, of medium color, not inclined to be- 
come wrinkled. Leaflets rather large, broadly. obovate, the Jateral 
often irregularly developed, short-pointed. Flowers white. Pods, 
when fully developed, pale greenish yellow, straight, or nearly so, 
slightly swollen by the beans, tipped with a straight, stiff point; when 
ripe, nearly cylindrical, considerably swollen by the beans, light dun 
yellow, about 4 1-2 inches long, containing about three beans. Fully 
developed beans white, with veiny markings and a purple ring around 
the eye. Ripe beans oblong, occasionally slightly kidney-form, slightly 
flattened sidewise, not compressed on the ends, white, with the half 
about the eye yellowish brown. Average size of ten beans 17-32 inch 
long, 11-32 inch broad, 5-16 inch thick. | 
29. WHITE FLAGEOLET. 
A vigorous bush bean, with no tendeney to twining, ten to twelve 
inches high, moderately branched, quite leafy. Leaves dark green, quite 
curly. Leaflets rather small, broadly ovate, often slightly heart-shaped, 
short-pointed, rather thin and papery. Flowers white. Pods, when 
fully developed, light green, somewhat curved, with a long and slender, 
straight or curved point; when ripe, very slightly swollen, almost 
cylindrical, parchment-like, tan colored, from 4 to 4 1-2 inches long, 
containing about three beans. Fully developed beans white, with 
veiny markings. Ripe beans oblong, kidney-form, flattened sidewise, 
not compressed at the ends, white, with a veiny network, and a pol- 
ished, ivory-like appearance. Ten beans averaged in size 15-32 inch 
long, 1-4 inch broad, 3-16 inch thick. 
30. IMPROVED GREEN FLAGEOLERT. 
A bush bean, with no appearance of runners, quite strongly 
branched, twelve to fifteen inches high. Foliage abundant, rather dark 
green. Leaflets medium size, broadly wedge obovate, inclining to tri- 
angular, rather taper pointed. Flowers white. Pods, when fully de- 
veloped, dark green, quite strongly bent, not swollen or turgid, tipped 
with a long, slender point; when ripe nearly cylindrical, slightly 
swollen, parchment like, tan color. About four and one-half inches 
long, containing about three beans. Fully developed beans light pea 
green. Ripe beans oblong, quite strongly kidney-form, flattened side- 
wise, not compressed at the ends, white or occasionally greenish with 
a velny network and a polished ivory-like appearance. Average size 
of ten beans 15-32 inch long, 1-4 inch broad, 3-16 inch thick. 
The green color of the ripe beans is the main point of distinc- 
tion between this and the preceding, but in our own case this color 
nearly disappeared in one season’s growing. It seems more than prob- 
able, therefore, that this variety is as yet an unestablished form of 
the preceding. | 7 
31. DwarRF GERMAN WAX. 
A rather stout bush, bean with no tendency to twining, about eight 
inches high, moderately branched. Foliage abundant, dark green, quite 
curly. Leaflets broadly ovate inclining to triangular, taper pointed.
