C»#»«z> Cvnn W/»v Decidedly better quality than Cur- 

 OUrc l^iuy fv UA, ^^^,^ -^^^^ Proof but vine and seed 

 very similar in appearance, and maturing about a week later. 

 The pods are of a rich yellow color, growing an inch longer 

 than Currie's and stringless at all stages of growth. The 

 disease resistant qualities found in Currie's are duplicated in 

 this variety and it is vigorous, hardy, and very productive. 

 For quality use Sure Crop, while for earliness Currie's is 

 better.
