GREEN-PODDED BUSH BEANS 
How to Grow Fall Beans. Plant 
up to September 20. In Florida 
and South Texas later plantings are 
made. Sow 1 % to 2 inches deep, 
3 to 4 inches apart, in rows 2% to 
3 V 2 feet apart. Cultivate often un¬ 
til plants blossom. Deep cultivation 
when in bloom will cause many flow¬ 
ers to fall, and cultivating when 
vines are wet with dew may cause 
rust and spread anthracnose if it is 
present. Beans are more delicious 
picked before the pods reach their 
full size. Frequent picking insures 
a prolonged bearing season. Two 
pounds will sow 100 feet of row; 
60 pounds (bushel), an acre. 
10 Black Valentine 
48 days. Continues to enjoy pop¬ 
ularity with commercial truckers on 
account of its earliness, productiv¬ 
ity, heat-resisting qualities, and abil¬ 
ity to thrive during wet or cold 
weather. Holds its color and firm 
texture for a long time after pick¬ 
ing. Its dark green pods are 6 to 
6 V 2 inches long, very uniform, 
round, slender, straight, and tender 
when young. The pods also show 
some strings but their appearance 
makes them an important market 
and shipping variety. Plants are 
medium large, thrifty, hardy and 
prolific. Pkt. 7c; x /z lb. 16c; lb.

11 Bountiful Stringless 
48 days. Acknowledged to be the 
earliest and best in quality of the

their own. It can be planted early 
or late, and because the pods remain 
in prime condition for a long time 
after picking, it is an invaluable ship¬ 
per. Plants are large, hardy, disease- 
resistant, and prolific. (See illustra¬
