y, but prolific, and of good quality.

DWARF FAN, OR CLUSTER.

Early Dwarf. Bog-bean.

A remarkably dwarfish, early variety, much employed in forcing. Stem
about a foot high, separating near the ground into two or three
branches; flowers white; the pods, which are produced in clusters near
the top of the plant, are almost cylindrical, three inches long,
three-fourths of an inch thick, and contain three or four small, oblong,
yellow seeds.

It is one of the smallest and earliest of the English Beans, and yields
abundantly.

EARLY DWARF CRIMSON-SEEDED. _Vil._

Vilmorin's Dwarf Red-seeded.

Plant sixteen inches high, separating into two or three divisions, or
branches; the flowers resemble those of the Common varieties, but are
somewhat smaller; the pods are erect, three inches and a half long,
three-fifths of an inch wide, half an inch thick, and contain three or
four seeds, closely set together, and nearly as large in diameter as the
pod.

The ripe seeds are bright brownish-red or crimson, thick, shortened at
the back, and depressed at the sides: six hundred and fifty will measure
a quart.

The variety is principally esteemed for its dwarfish habit and early
maturity.

EARLY MAZAGAN.

Early Malta.

This variety, though originally from Mazagan, on the coast of Africa, is
one of the hardiest sorts now in cultivation. Stem from two to three
feet high, and rather slender; pods four to five inches long, containing
four or five whitish seeds.

The Early Mazagan is much less productive than many other sorts; but its
hardiness and earliness have secured it a place in the garden, and it
has been cultivated more or less extensively for upwards of a century.

EVERGREEN LONG POD. _M'Int._

Green Genoa. Green Long Pod. Green Nonpareil.

This variety grows from three to four feet high. The pods are long,
somewhat flattened, and generally contain four rather small, oblong,
green seeds. It is an excellent bearer, of good quality, and but a few
days later than the Common Long Pod. The variety is much esteemed on
account of the fine, green color of the beans; which, if gathered at the
proper time, retain their green color when dressed.

In planting, make the drills three feet apart, and two inches and a half
deep; and allow two plants for each linear foot.

GREEN CHINA.

From two to two feet and a half high; pods long, cylindrical, containing
three or four beans, which remain of a green color when dry.
