BEANS 
Our Bean seed is first-class, high germinating, guaranteed Western-grown stock. 
Currure or GREEN AND Wax-Poppep Busu Beans. Medium 
low land is best suited for this crop, such a low hammock, 
muck or pine land. Beans are a quick maturing crop and are 
usually followed by some other crop which gets the benefit of 
the fertilizer not taken by the beans. When another crop is 
to follow, plant the beans in rows 5 feet apart, so that you 
can plant between the rows before you finish harvesting the 
beans, but if a follow-crop is not desired, plant in 8-foot rows. 
As a general rule the green-podded sorts are the most salable. 
We list only the very best varieties for market and home use. 
Spring planting in the southern and central part of the 
State begins January 1 and continues until April. Fall plant- 
ing starts in August. For a fall crop, plant from the middle 
of August until the middle of October; for a main crop on 
the Florida East Coast plant from October to December. 
Sow seed in drills, dropping a bean every 11% to 2 inches, and 
cover 2 inches deep. Use a high-grade bean or vegetable 
fertilizer. On muck soils apply 600 to 1200 pounds of fer- 
tilizer per acre. On sandy loam apply 1200 to 2000 pounds 
per acre, making one application. Soil should be thoroughly 
prepared, and fertilizer put out from a week to ten days 
before planting. There is always a risk of the fertilizer burn- 
ing and killing the vitality of the seed when both are put in 
at the same time. Where the crop has had a setback, a hun- 
dred pounds of Nitrate of Soda or Nitrate of Potash per 
acre will do wonders. However, we do not recommend the 
use of nitrate except in rare cases, because both the carrying 
and eating quality may be materially injured by the excessive 
use of Nitrate of Soda or Nitrate of Potash. 
To control mildew and rust, use Sulfocide spray or Sulphur 
dust. (See page 55.) Pyrox is ulso a good spray to control 
diseases of beans, especially anthracnose. To prevent spec- 
kled and moldy beans in transit, dip them in Sulfocide. (See 
page 55.) The most effective control for the bean jassid, 
commonly called white fly or green fly, is Pyrocide dust. (See 
page 54.) 
Inoculate bean seed with Nitragin for best results. Hastens 
maturity, increases yields and enriches the soil. (See page 51.) 
GREEN PODDED BUSH BEANS 
Plant 3 pecks to 1 bushel per acre. 
All prices quoted are postpaid. 
Write for special low prices on larger quantities. 
PLENTIFUL. (50 days.) A very heavy yielder. Plants more 
spreading in growth than Bountiful, and should be given a 
little wider spacing in the row. Somewhat more resistant to 
rust than Bountiful and other varieties. The pods are longer, 
slightly thicker, and narrower than Bountiful, flat, straight, 
and of medium deep green color. Pods should be picked fre- 
quently, otherwise they take on a slick, shiny or glossy ap- 
pearance, which is objectionable from a marketing stand- 
point. They are brittle, tender, stringless and have a distinc- 
tive flavor. This variety seems to do better on sandy soils 
than on marl and muck in Florida.

STRINGLESS BLACK VALENTINE. (48 days.) This va- 
riety possesses all the desirable characteristics of the 
regular Black Valentine, and in addition, it is completely 
stringless. The plant is large, vigorous, erect and very pro- 
lific. The oval pods are nearly straight, dark green, strictly 
stringless, and of fine quality and delicate flavor. They retain 
their color and texture in shipping long distances. Attractive 
in appearance, of high edible quality and a good shipper, 
this variety has become one of Florida’s leaders. Produces 
better under Florida conditions as a fall and winter crop, 
than as a spring crop.

Typical Pods of Stringless Black Valentine 


TENDERGREEN. (50 days.) This variety is becoming more 
and more popular due to its consistently high productivity 
and excellent shipping qualities. It is a little earlier than 
Giant Stringless, and the plants are large, erect, and thick 
stemmed. The pods average six inches in length, are attrac- 
tive in appearance, being nearly straight, round, fleshy, dark 
green, absolutely stringless, and of excellent quality. Our 
strain of this variety has been developed for uniformity in 
shape, size and color. A most desirable, high quality variety 
to grow for home use and for market. A sure cropper, even 
under relatively poor growing conditions.

BOUNTIFUL. (48 days.) A most popular variety for many 
markets, especially in the east. A vigorous grower, very 
productive, with very large, beautiful, long, broad, flat, thick 
pods, slightly curved, of attractive light-green color, entirely 
stringless, tender, and of excellent quality. A consistently 
high producer, of attractive appearance and high edible 
quality. Seed supply of this variety extremely limited.

GIANT STRINGLESS GREEN POD. (52 days.) A favorite

of the best round-podded varieties.
