Giant Red Wax. —A pole variety, beans oblong, very broad, not, 
kidney form, quite strongly flattened sidewise, rarely compressed or 
the ends, dark reddish brown. Last year the crop from this variety 
‘was entirely uniform and true to type, bu& this year only about 
one-third of the crop was of the true color. Of the remainder about 
one-half were black, and the remainder were a bright golden yellow. 
“ In 1882 a black variety was planted on one side, and a white variety 
on the other side of this variety. 
Golden Cranberry.— A bush bean of medium size often with a dis- 
tinct twining habit ; beans nearly globular, very slightly oblong, eye 
plane or slightly protuberant, pale sulphur yellow with veiny mark- 
ings and a faint pale, bluish ring about the eye. From this variety there 
was selected in 1882 a form of about the same size as the true type, 
but oblong, slightly flattened sidewise and mottled in two shades of 
brown. From this form there were produced in 1883 no less than 
eleven distinct forms, as follows : 
(a.) A small number true to the type selected. 
(6.) Oblong, not kidney form, not flattened sidewise, fie com- 
pressed at the ends, mottled in two shades of light brown or drab. In 
markings very similar to the last, but lighter in color, 
(c.) A very few beans longer in proportion to the breadth than the 
two preceding, but like them mottled in different shades of brown. 
The colors more distinct from each other and different in shade from 
either of the preceding. 
(d.) Same shape as the last, very dark, almost black, more or less 
distinctly marked with light yellowish brown, resembling quite closely 
in color the variety Galega. 
(¢.) Slightly oblong, often nearly spherical, not flattened sidewise, 
not compressed on the ends, light dun with a greenish cast. 
(f.) Similar in form to the last, very light creamy brown with a 
reddish ring about the eye. 
(g-) Quite large, oblong, usually somewhat flattened sidewise, some- 
times compressed on the ends, pale slaty drab with a reddish ring 
about the eye. 
(A.) Small, slightly oblong, often nearly spherical, bright brownish 
ellow. 
y (i.) Larger, oblong, slightly flattened sidewise, not compressed on 
the ends, dark brown. 
(7-) Oblong, slightly flattened sidewise, slightly kidney shaped, 
often compressed at the ends, black. 
(%.) The same form as the last, white. 
The true variety produced in 1883 an entirely uniform crop of per- 
fectly true beans. Its near neighbors in 1882 included for the most 
part biack dark red, dun and speckled varieties, the influence of 
which, however, could not be definitely traced in the forms produced 
this year. 
Indian Chief. — A pole variety, irregularly globose, occasionally 
flattened sidewise, more or less oblong, black inclining to purplish, 
eye usually pr otuberant, In 1882 the pods were yellow from the first, 
and the whole crop was true to type this year, however, the edible 
pods were noted as whitish green and only a small portion ‘of the beans 
were true to type; the remainder were oblong, flattened sidewise, 
usually compressed at the ends into a quadrangular shape, dark
