bush Beans (continued) 
Landreths’ Stringless Green Pod—54 Days. 
Height of vine 17’’-18’, bushy and very erect. 
Foliage is extremely dark green. Pods 6’’—8” long, 
round, slightly curved, meaty, absolutely stringless 
and free from fiber. Contains 7 or 8 beans to the 
pod. Seeds are brown and kidney shaped which 
do not show through the pod. This bean was prop- 
agated from a single plant selection on our Trial 
Grounds and is the best round podded bean ever 
developed. On account of its productivity and the 
fact that it is disease resistant it is naturally the 
bean that is most in demand today by both canners 
and gardeners.

Height of vine 14’’-15’".. Foliage yellowish green. 
Pods round and curved, 43’’ long. Usually 6 beans 
to the pod. Seeds purplish-red, splashed with buff. 
This bean was introduced by us several years ago. 
Its superior flavor and the fact that it is absolutely 
stringless makes it one of the most desirable beans 
in the market.

11’’-13”.. Foliage dark green. Pods 5” long, light 
green, flat and stringless; 5-6 beans to the pod.

robust and productive. Pods medium green; 
63’’-7” long, oval flat pods, tender, free from 
fiber, fleshy, straight and stringless. Pod usually

MEXICAN BEAN BEETLE 
In some parts of the country, this little pest is a 
constant visitor in gardens. It is about + inch long 
and is lemon or copper color with black spots. The 
larvae are yellow with black spines. Treatment 
should begin when the larvae appear on the under 
part of the leaves. Rotenone dust is an excellent 
destroyer and is not poisonous to humans. Plow the 
vines under after harvest to reduce infestation. 

Landreths’ Stringless Green Pod 


A Landreth Bean Field in Idaho. Noite irrigated row in the center. The ground is very porous and readily 
absorbs water so every row need not be irrigated.
