120 to 125 days maturity. We 
consider this the most productive 
and satisfactory variety for bean 
production in all of the coastal 
states. Never since we introduced 
the late strain of Wood’s Yellow 
have we received so many. favor- 
able reports from farmers in Vir- 
ginia and North Carolina, claim- 
ing it the finest bean they have 
ever grown. Has every good char- 
acteristic — matures medium 
early; upright in growth (height 
36 in.) full cof =podss trom, «the 
ground up, averaging 185 pods 
per plant and some as high as 300 
with many plants having three 
beans to the pod; vigorous 
growth; stands up well; and shat- 
ter proof. Several growers have 
left these beans in the field until 
Christmas and they did not shat- 
ter at this late date. Also makes 
a fine quality hay, not so coarse 
as the later varieties. Has made 
outstanding yields in comparison 
to other varieties. 
FOR SEED PRODUCTION — 
Large size varieties, plant in 3% 
to 4 foot rows, three pecks to the 
acre—medium size varieties 2 
pecks per acre, and small size 1 to 
1% pecks in 36 to 40-inch rows 
and cultivate. When drilled, use 
two to three times the above 
quantities. 
FOR BEAN PRODUCTION—Un-

120 to 125 days maturity. This medium early bean should be 
used to a much greater extent in the eastern states. It is far su- 
perior to the old Mammoth Yellow from the standpoint of both 
bean and hay production. An excellent yielder, highly shatter 
proof, and on good land will average 3 beans to the pod on two- 
thirds of the stalks. About 8 inches taller than the Virginia or 
Wilson and will produce a larger and equal quality hay crop. 
A medium size yellow bean of high oil content. Well adapted to 
all eastern states.

Virginia Brown ginia and the north. Fine stems; excellent 
quality hay.

Wilson Early Black mountains of Virginia, West Virginia, 
and the north. Growth similar to Virginia. 
7 145 Days. Standard varieties 
Mammoth Yellow and Tokio for the eastern states for 
beans and forage production. Large seeded varieties bring top 
government prices. 
Otootan 170 Days. Small oval black seed; makes fine quality 
hay in the Southern coastal section; averaged 8 tons 
per acre in a 4-year Georgia test. 
Laredo 14° Days. Small black seed; outstanding for hay. Dis- 
ease resistant; heavy seeder. Do not confuse with Indiana 
Laredo, which is not adapted to the South.
