SURE CROP OR GOLDEN BOUNTIFUL WAX. (52 days.) 
An attractive, bright yellow bean, entirely stringless, early, and 
exceedingly productive, with very long, thick, semi-flat pods, 
practically straight and fairly disease resistant. Plants are 
strong and vigorous, and very hardy. This variety is really a 
companion of the Green Bountiful, and is similar to it in all 
respects except color of pod. Beautiful, large, straight, golden 
yellow pods give it a very attractive market appearance, and 
in edible quality this variety cannot be excelled.

brittle, stringless, fleshy, and of excellent quality.

CULTURE OF GREEN PoppED Poe Beans. Pole beans are 
later in maturing than bush beans, but bear for a longer sea- 
son, and are extremely productive, yielding more than bush 
beans, and also produce bigger pods. They are somewhat more 
tender than bush beans if harvested young. For best results, 
pole beans should be supported by wires or by good strong 
poles to keep them off the ground. Poles should be 8 to 9 feet 
long, and set firmly in the ground, in rows 3 to 4 feet apart, 
and three feet apart in the row. Plant six to eight seeds around 
each pole. When plants are well established, thin to two or 
three plants to a pole. In order to keep pole beans bearing 
over a long season, it is important to keep them closely picked. 
Inoculate bean seed with Nitragin for best results. (See page 
47.) In order to control soil diseases and get a better stand, 
it is always desirable to treat bean seed with Spergon before 
planting. (See page 56.) Pole beans are more susceptible to 
mildew, rust and other foliage diseases than are bush beans, 
and therefore should be sprayed with Sulfocide or dusted with 
sulphur quite often. (See page 56.)

KENTUCKY WONDER. (Old Homestead.) (65 days.) 
This is a popular, green podded, climbing or pole bean, early, 
and very productive over a long season. Pods are very long, 
ranging from eight to ten inches, curved, nearly round, with 
undulating surface. Though thick, they appear slender on ac- 
count of their great length. Pods are meaty, very brittle, and 
of good quality if harvested young. The pods hang in large 
clusters from the top to the bottom of the vine, and can be 
gathered by the handful. Our strain has been selected for re- 
sistance to both rust and powdery mildew.

McCASLAN. (65 days.) A prolific, white-seeded pole bean, 
of Georgia origin. The seeds being white in color may be 
used as a green shell bean, although this variety is used most 
extensively as snap beans when young. A very vigorous grow- 
er and heavy producer. The pods are dark green, eight inches 
long, large, flat, slightly curved, very thick and meaty, string- 
less, brittle and fine grained, and of excellent quality if har- 
vested young. Because of the high yield of large, attractive 
pods, this makes an excellent shipping bean for the markets. 
Well adapted for planting in corn during the spring months.

U. S. No. 3 (Rust Resistant.) (63 days.) Repeated tests 
for rust resistance and selection for quality and other desirable 
characteristics were made by the United States Department 
of Agriculture for several years before releasing this variety. 
Makes an early maturing, long (7 to 8 inches), round podded 
bean, entirely stringless at all stages and of exceptionally good 
quality and very attractive appearance. The pods resemble 
brown seeded Kentucky Wonder in general appearance, al- 
though they are much thicker or plumper on the average under 
Florida conditions. The seed is white. This variety has become 
one of the most popular green pole beans grown in Florida 
for both market and home use.
