FLORIDA BELL BUSH BEAN 
Vitality and freedom from disease are primary factors in the suc- 
cessful growing of beans, for anthracnose and bacterial blight are 
the two most ravaging of bean diseases. 
Both are seed borne. If infected seed is used, the bean crop is 
almost doomed. If, however, the seed planted is free from these 
diseases, the hazards of producing a crop are virtually eliminated. 
Bean seed grown in the Sacramento Valley is absolutely free from 
blight and anthracnose as the disease cannot develop under our 
climatic conditions. 
Produce market growers, canners and home gardeners can find 
the answer to the control of bacterial blight by planting Lagos 
Grown seed, assurance that the seed you get is disease free. 
Beans supply a large amount of Vitamins A, B:, C and G. Lago 
improved varieties are selected because of their fine flavor and 
lack of fibre. Sow seed in the spring as soon as danger of frost 
is past, and at two-week intervals until midsummer. A warm, well 
drained location is best. Plant bush beans 1 inch deep in rows 
2 feet apart and seed 4 to 6 inches apart in the rows. Plant pole 
beans in hills 12 to 18 inches apart and in rows 4 feet apart. 
Plant 3 to 4 beans per hill.
