TOPCROP—-VVery early and a tremendous yielder. 
84 Topcrop (New) 
All-America Gold Medal Winner for 1950 
Topcrop, in our opinion, is by far the finest of the new round green beans. Developed by W. J. 
Zaumeyer of the USDA, it is a natural for the market gardener and has already won enthusiastic 
approval from large scale growers who have had samples for trial. 
It is very early and exceptionally vigorous and prolific. Our tests indicate that it can be planted 
early and will ripen almost as soon as Bountiful—and nearly the whole crop is ready at one time. 
The straight plump beans are of good length (51% to 6 in.), medium green, stringless and of fine 
quality. They are best if grown on good fertile soil and picked young, and the yields are often 
astonishing. Resistant to common bean mosaic, Topcrop has vigorous vines with a concentrated 
set of pods well off the ground. 
We feel that it is superior to such new varieties as Logan and Rival, and we highly recommend 
it for trial by our customers. See prices on next page. 
22 Contender (New) 
Just Released—Sensational Oval-Podded Bean. 
For markets or shipping where an oval bean is 
wanted, try this brand new kind. The pods are 
extra long (5/4 to 7 in.) meaty, slightly curved, 
and exceptionally smooth and attractive. They 
are oval in cross section but so thick-fleshed 
they sometimes appear nearly round. The qual- 
ity is good and they hold up well. 
In one of our seed crops, this bean gave just 
about the finest yield of long smooth pods we 
have ever seen. It is vigorous, mosaic resistant, 
stands early planting and ripens early—slightly 
ahead of Stringless Black Valentine. Altogether 
a most remarkable new variety, one of the best 
developed by the late Dr. B. L. Wade of the 
U:S:D-A*s Station’ at Charleston, S: C: 
Seed supply limited—order early. Only % bu. 
(30 lbs.) per customer. See prices on next page. CONTENDER—Heowy yields of oval pods.
