WAX OR YELLOW-PODDED VARIETIES. Dwarf Butter Wax Bismarck, (Rust-proof).—This celebr ated variety, which we introduced a few years since, is one of the most attractive and iainous rarities of Wax Beans known in Germany; its great beauty, and extraordi- nary length of pods, attracted our attention in the markets of Ber- lin in '87: we found them in quality so far superior to any variety ot the Wax that we had ever tasted that we secured sufficient for seed purposes for that year, and have since then grown them very extensively; they cannot be recommend- ed too highly to all lovers of the Butter Bean. They are very early, the pods of which are produced in great profusion, and will average six inches in length, are almost transparent, exceed- ingly brittle and of very delicate flavor; the bean when dry is of a beautiful blueish black color and of a kidney shape.

This new strain originated with a large bean grower in Genesee County, N. Y., and is exceed- ingly valuable, not only because of its super- iority over the old strain, b
