green on the other dwarf varieties. Plants were loaded with 
bloom and had quite a number of pods containing beans of edible 
size when killed by frost. In sections where the season is longer 
it will undoubtedly prove of value. :

Beans same shape and color as the dark type of Dwarf Carolina, 
but larger. Evidently a selection of that variety.

In an experiment with beans as to the effects of fertilizers, the 
test has been made as to the susceptibility of the bean to the 
absence of potash, an old-time theory. It will be seen by the 
accompanying table of one-twentieth acre plats that the sulphate — 
of potash gave the largest yield, with the plat that received nothing 
a close second, while muriate of potash, nitrate of soda and bone- — 
black gave practically the same results. As these plats were all 
given the same treatment last year, it is unlikely that section 
twelve could have had any advantage in the soil over the balance 
La i of the sections, and as sulphate of potash contains a less per cent. 

of potash than the muriate of potash, it would seem as though 
the potash does not affect the ercp so favorably as has been 
claimed. This experiment will be continued through a serious of 
years in order to test this matter thoroughly. © :
