y strongly resemble the Dwarf White Marrow;
and are not easily distinguished from the seeds of that variety. About
twelve hundred and fifty are contained in a quart, and will plant a
hundred and twenty-five hills.

The White Cranberry is hardy, yields well, and the young pods are tender
and well flavored. For shelling green, it is decidedly one of the best
of all varieties; and for baking, or otherwise cooking, is, when ripe,
fully equal to the Pea-bean or White Marrow.

WILD-GOOSE.

Plant seven or eight feet high, of healthy, vigorous habit; flowers
bright-purple; the pods are sickle-shaped, pale-green at first,
cream-yellow streaked and marbled with purple when ripe, and contain six
seeds, closely set together.

The variety requires the entire season for its full perfection. When
planted early, it will blossom in nine weeks, produce young pods in
eleven weeks, green beans in thirteen weeks, and ripen in a hundred and
twenty days. If planted and grown under the influence of summer weather,
the plants will blossom in seven weeks, yield young pods in nine weeks,
green beans in twelve weeks, and ripen in a hundred days. Plantings for
the green seeds may be made to the middle of June, and for the young
pods to the first of July.

The ripe beans are pale cream-white, spotted with deep purplish-black
(the cream-white gradually changing by age to cinnamon-brown),
round-ovoid, four-tenths of an inch long, and about three-eighths of an
inch in width and thickness. A quart contains nearly seventeen hundred
seeds, and will plant two hundred hills.

The variety has been long cultivated both in Europe and this country. It
is hardy and productive. The young pods are of fair quality; and the
seeds, green or ripe, are excellent for table use, in whatever form
prepared.

YELLOW CRANBERRY.

Five to six feet high, with yellowish-green foliage and pale-purple
flowers: the pods are five inches long, three-fourths of an inch broad,
often sickle-shaped; pale-green at first; cream-yellow, shrivelled, and
irregular in form, like those of the Red variety, at maturity; and
contain five or six seeds.

It is a few days later than the White Cranberry, and nearly two weeks
later than the Red. Planted at the commencement of the season, it will
blossom in eight weeks, yield pods for the table in about ten weeks,
pods for shelling in twelve or thirteen weeks, and ripen in a hundred
and ten days. Early summer-plantings will blossom in se
