Peconic, N. Y., 1939—I had your strain of 
String 
Beans 
and 
Fordhook 
Limas along side of two other strains. I found your strain of Limas were longer 
podded than another strain planted on the same soil, same time and same fer¬ 
tilizer. 
Your String Beans were healthy and yielded better than another strain that 
1 had.
