 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.

AIDS IN PREVENTION OF 

 BEAN SPOT 



Bean Spot or Anthracnose is a disease caused by the 

 fungus colletotrichum lindemuthianum, which is carried 

 in seed, soil and dead vines, from previous years' crop. 

 It is very rare or unknown in the semi-arid region of 

 the West where our Bean seed is grown, and with this 

 disease-free seed, the damage from spot may be reduced 

 considerably by the customary methods of crop rotation, 

 burning the refuse, destruction of weeds, and improving 

 the air and soil drainage. 



For a successful crop, plant disease-free seed, and 

 practice crop rotation, never planting Beans on land 

 where the same crop grew the previous season; do not 

 cultivate or walk through the Bean field or pick beans 

 while wet with dew or rain. If the disease is present, 

 it is then easily spread from one part of the field to 

 another. Disease-free soil is just as essential as clean 

 seed in the production of a crop free from spot.
