June 25th. Examined flowers of Johnston's Wonderful 1, Green Windsor 2, Early Long Pod 3, Tokes Beans 4, Windsor Beans 5, Green Long Pod 6, Improved thick Windsor 7, Early Mazagan 8, & no difference in flowers or calyx.— In Dwarf Fan 9 about 2/3 of size, otherwise the same. In the White Blossom 10 & Scarlet Blossom 11, rather smaller than average, & colour as expressed.— In Leaves I cd perceive no difference, except in Dwf Fan, which has narrower leaves, darker green & much more crowded together. The scarlet blossom is only exaggeration of the purple at base of standard in all: calyx more purple, also.— The White blossom is albino with white stem.— In the white blossom, the leafy bracts, have not the purple spot, but the gland is there.—

May 22d. Young Beans about 1 1/2 inch high, do not differ much. Except the Horse & Fan which look considerably different

June 6th same remarks. Scarlet & white blossoms come next in difference.—

June 18th same remark.— Then follows back of Page

(3

June 29th I observe Horse-Bean flowers much later The red-blossomed flowers rather later: this plant is shorter & rather more delicate; & so is in very slight degree the white blossom.— This latter came up very untrue, or seeds false.—

July 7th flower of Horsebean identical: now in flower differ little in whole plant from other vars. rather lighter & smoother leaves.

July 20th The Pods seem to differ somewhat. Dwarf Fan very abrupt & cylindrical at end. White & Red flowered Bean very small.—
