A OFREAX EIW BEIAN, NO. 6. $ OFFERED FOR A NAME. SEE BACK COVER FOR ILLUSTRAFION. This is the grandest beau I ever offered. It somewhat resembles Prolific Tree, but grows larger pods and beans and less leaves. It stands up erect, ripens its crop early and I know will more than please every person planting it. One of my customers in Dakota called my attention to this bean last year and sent me a quantity to plant. He claimed last year his crop yielded about forty bushels pitr acre. On Aug. 30, he writes me that he is growing twelve acres, which he expects to begin to harvest very soon and estimates his crop this year, from these tv.'elve acres, at least 400 bushels. When a farmer can get such a profitable bean as this, it would seem to me that there are but very few crops that would pay better. In offering this Ijean this year, I wish to call my customers' attention to the following, and after growing it, I want every one to report what success they have had: 1st. It is the most productive and heaviest cropping bean I have ever known. 2nd. It grows about a foot and one-half high, branching freely and bears its pods SO that they seldom touch the ground, enabling it to stand a wet spell without injury, 3rd. It ripens its crop early^and they all ripen up even, which is another great advan- tage. 4th. It never rusts. The pods are of a handsome golden color when about ready to be harvested. 5th. On account of its large sized beans, it will bring the highest market price. It must not be compared with the small Navy Pea or Tree bean. I am well aware that many dealers ofier varieties, claiming they will yield 75 t6 100 bush- els per acre, but from testing these varieties, I have found that no such yields can be obtained, vmless on a very small plot of groimd where considerable forcing was doue.
