This new and valuable yxile Ixjan, Avliieh avc introduced a few years ago, has, excepting in a few cases, kept its wonderful properties which we claimed for it when tii-st introduced : That it, was just as good for a snap- sliort beau in Winter, wlien tlie pods were ripe and dry, as when picked freshly from the vines in Slimmer. This was certainly a broad assertion to make, but in nearly eveiy case, excepting where planted contiguous with other -pole l)eans, it has kept its remarkable qualities, and we are daily receiving letters from those ^\■ho ha\-c planted it verifying this fact. Below we will give a few letters from disinterested persons ^yho have grown this beau.
