Bean from Mr. Batchelor. Plant vigorous and productive ; foli- 
age pale green; leaflets medium to large; stem much branched ; 
pods numerous, cream-colored at table size, strongly recurved, 
4 or 5 inches long, nearly } inch wide, almost cylindrical; beans 5 
or 6 in a pod, of medium size, dark rich purple, short, oval. 
Beside the varieties named, three were grown that proved so 
late that none of the pods attained sufficient size for table use. 
These were the Crimson King, from Mr. E. P. Powell; the Mam- 
moth Tasmanian, from Hugo Beyer, and a Scarlet Runner, from 
the English Specialty and Novelty Seed Company. 
THE BEET. 
_ The varieties named were grown in the Station garden; one 
drill of each twelve feet long, the drills three and one-half feet 
apart. The seeds were planted April 25. The plants were 
thinned, when sufficiently large to require it, to six inches apart in 
the drill.
