Vine vigorous, climbing well and very productive, bearing its pods in large clusters; pods green, very long, often reaching nine or ten inches, nearly round when young and very crisp, becoming very irregular and spongy as the beans ripen. LARGE WHITE LI3IA OR BUTTER. Rich and finest flavor and estimated to be the best late pole bean. CULTURE.
