This pole bean, for many years the favorite with our Bucks County farmers, has now become immensely popu- lar throughout the entire country. We presume it de- rived its name, which seems to us rather discourteous, from its immense productiveness, making it very easy to gather a dish, and from the ease with which they are cooked. The pods, of medium, dark-green color, are pro- duced in great abundance, and measure from 43^ to 6 inchas in length; the illustration above represents a natural size pod ; they are broad, thick ; very fleshy and entirely stringless. The pods retain their rich, tender and stringless qualities until nearly ripe, and at all stages are unsurpassed for snap-shorts, being peculiarly luscious. Many persons have testified that they never ate a bean quite so good in distinct rich flavor. Each pod contains from six to eight round white beans, which make ex- cellent winter shell beans. The plants cling well to the poles; and the vines are covered with clusters of hand- some pods. They have also yielded well planted among corn. They are late to mature but are valuable to extend the season. We recommend every one to plant Crease- back for early and Lazy Wife's for late, and we are sure that none will regret following this advice.
