variety because of its productiveness, hardiness, resistance to disease. Our improved 
strain is very valuable for its earliness and uniformity in development of green shelled 
beans. Recommended as adapted to freezing preservation.

PODS —3 to 3!/4 inches long, dark green, broad-flat, slightly curved, 3 to 4 seeds 
per pod.
