lent keeper. The fleshy pods are dark green,

kidney shape, red with white blotches. We are

BEANS 
Vitality and freedom from disease are primary 
factors in the successful 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 elimi- 
nated. Bean seed grown in the Sacramento Val- 
ley is absolutely free from blight and anthrac- 
nose as the disease cannot develop under our 
climatic conditions. 
Produce market growers, canners and home gar- 
deners can find the answer to the control of bac- 
terial blight by planting Lago Grown seed, as- 
surance that the seed you get is disease free. 
Beans supply a large amount of Vitamins A, Bi, 
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 mid- 
summer. 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.

“Last spring I bought some tuber- 
ous-rooted begonias from you and 
I want to tell you what a delight 
they turned out to be... the blos- 
soms were every bit as beautiful 
as the pictures in your catalog. 
Will send an order for more of 
them when your catalog arrives.”
