The Gardeners' chronicle : a weekly illustrated journal of horticulture and allied subjects . u.

Now we grow none of thesepractically, the scarlet form having been super-seded by the better long-podded forms, whichmay be briefly referred to as of the Ne PlusUltra type, so that now the pods, producodin exceeding abundance, instead of being short,range from 10 to 12 inches long, and arethen tender and edible. Perhaps more ofspace to the plants is now given, and deeperculture, as well as more ample feeding thanwas furnished in the early years; yet gene-rally culture remains very much as before. Aninteresting addition to this section of Beans isfound in tho carefully-selected runner dwarfs, if. Fig. 160.—double petunia.(Exhibited at the Temple Show by Mess Sander & Co.

Artichokes (Globe).differ little from the form generally cultivatedin the thirties, neither does that culture appre-ciably vary. Very much may be said of theJerusalem or tuberous Artichoke, the exceptionbeing the undoubted gain in the introductionof the white-tubered variety. General culturediffers little or none. Beans,on the other hand, show marked Broad and Longpod forms, tho old GreenWindsor is still one of the best, as it wasin 1837; and of Longpods wo still havethe Early Green and the Dutch, with theDwarf Fan-cluster.
