BUSH BEANS 
GREEN-PODDED 
CULTURE: Sow every two weeks from early May until August for succession crops 
in the latitude of New York. Farther South, sow earlier; farther north, later. Plant 
2 inches deep in drills 2> 2 feet apart. Plant seeds 2 inches apart; thin out plants to 
stand 4 inches apart. They commence bearing in six to eight weeks. 2 lbs. to 100 ft 
are given for each variety. 
★ Recommended for 
quick freezing 
of drill. Approximate maturity dates 
12 TOPCROP 
The U. S. No. 1 Bush Bean 
The pods are round, straight, smooth, 
entirely stringless and without fiber. 
Seed development is slow, thus making 
. meaty pods even in relatively advanced 
stages of maturity. The pods average 6 inches 
in length, and maturity is slightly earlier than 
Tendergreen. Look for a tremendous vield 
over a short period, rather than extended pick- 
ings. The plants grow 15 to 16 inches high, have 
great vigor and are immune to common bean 
mosaic.

licious flavor and a melting tenderness that dis- 
tinguishes them as the ultimate in quality.

high, the stems are stout and rigid, the foliage is 
heavy, glossy and attractive. The pods are 
deep rich green in color, extremely brittle, per-

Asparagus, Giant Washington 
ASPARAGUS 
CULTURE: Beds that are cared for improve with age and 
last for many years. Cutting may begin the second year 
after the roots are planted. If seed is used, three to four 
years longer are required before the plants reach cutting 
si2e. Plant in rows from 3 to 5 feet apart, with a distance 
of 9 to 24 inches between the plants. Send for free pamphlet 
"Asparagus Culture."

with rust. But Giant Washington — developed

more important, of extra good quality. Dark
