Topcrop. Topcrop Snapbean is a variety for the 

 market gardener, shipper and processor. It is im- 

 mune to common bean mosaic, and to "greasy 

 pod" or "shiny pod," a virus disease. Wide and 

 thorough tests during the past few years indi- 

 cate adaptability to most parts of the country, 

 and it has the vigor to develop plants of good 

 size under adverse weather conditions. In com- 

 parative tests, Topcrop is earlier than Tender- 

 green and Supergreen. High yields are borne 

 during a short interval, giving a few large pick- 

 ings rather than a number of small pickings. Be- 

 cause of its mosaic resistance, it has consistently 

 outyielded the commercial varieties of the same 

 general class, such as Tendergreen, Longreen, 

 Full Measure, and others. The pods of Topcrop 

 ore 5'/2 to 6 inches long, 7/16 inches wide and 

 round; they are slender when young, fairly large 

 when older 60 



Contender. (Buff Valentine) Contender is resist- 

 ant to common bean mosaic and has shown con- 

 siderable resistance to powdery mildew. It shows 

 possibilities for market gardeners and shippers 

 and seems to be well adapted to a wide range 

 of climatic conditions, possessing heat tolerance 

 that may well establish it as an excellent variety 

 for summer and fall plantings where present 

 standard varieties some times do not set pods 

 well. One to two days earlier than Black Valen- 

 tine Stringless, maturing in 52 days. Plant: In- 

 termediate height giving a somewhat spreading 

 appearance 15 to 16 inches tall. Pods: Slight- 

 ly longer than Black Valentine Stringless al- 

 though thicker and heavier and almost round in 

 the young market stage. They are stringless 

 with less fibre than Black Valentine Stringless, 



therefore showing more tendency to curve 60

Round Head No. 18. This variety is 

 being grown in the Charleston, S. C. 

 district in place of Charleston Wake- 

 field. The plants are small and com- 

 pact; stem short; head almost ball 

 shaped, 7 to 8 inches in diameter, 



weight 3 to 4 pounds 75 



Green Acre 90 



Premier 70 



Second Early Standard Varieties 



Bonanza. Can be held in the field 

 for two to three weeks without loss of 

 market condition. You can thus har- 

 vest when the market is strong. The 

 explanation is that it makes a small 

 firm head early in the season and con- 

 tinues to grow until its maximum size 

 of four pounds or more is reached. 

 This variety has shown wide adapt- 

 ability and it can be strongly recom- 

 mended for the South, particularly for 

 the spring crop where small firm heads 

 are needed for the Northern market.
