Season intermediate. If sown early, the plants will blossom in six or
seven weeks, supply the table with pods in eight weeks, green
shelled-beans in ten weeks, and ripen off in ninety days. When planted
after settled warm weather, the variety grows rapidly, and ripens
quickly; blossoming in less than six weeks, and ripening in seventy
days, from the time of planting. For green shelled-beans, the seeds may
be planted till the middle of July.

The ripe seeds are of an ovoid or rounded form, and measure half an inch
in length and three-eighths of an inch in thickness. They are of a
yellowish-drab color, with a narrow, reddish-brown line about the eye;
the drab changing, by age, to dull nankeen-yellow. About seventeen
hundred are contained in a quart; and this amount of seeds will plant
two hundred and fifty feet of drill, or a hundred and seventy-five
hills.

The variety is quite productive, and excellent as a shelled bean, green
or dry. The young pods are not so tender as those of many other sorts,
and are but little used.

CHILIAN.

Plant sixteen or eighteen inches high, sturdy and vigorous; foliage
large, deep-green, wrinkled; flowers pale-lilac; the pods are five
inches and a half long, slightly curved, pale-green while young,
yellowish-white when ripe, and contain five seeds.

If planted early in the season, the variety will blossom in seven weeks,
yield pods for the table in about eight weeks, and ripen in a hundred
days, from the time of planting.

The ripe seeds are of a clear, bright pink, or rose color; gradually
becoming duller and darker from the time of harvesting. They are
kidney-shaped, a little flattened, and of large size; generally
measuring three-fourths of an inch long, and three-eighths of an inch
thick. Twelve hundred and fifty are contained in a quart, and will be
sufficient for planting a row or drill of two hundred feet, or for a
hundred and twenty-five hills.

The variety is healthy, and moderatively productive; not much esteemed
for its young pods, but is worthy of cultivation for the large size and
good quality of the beans; which, either in the green or ripe state, are
quite farinaceous and mild flavored.

CRESCENT-EYED.

Height fourteen or fifteen inches; flowers white,--the upper petals
slightly stained with red; the pods are five inches and a half long,
pale-green and somewhat curved when young, yellowish-white when fully
ripe, and contain five seeds.
