M22. Joncrop Stringless Green Pod 
| 50 days. An outstanding new bush snap bean which won a 
gold medal in the 1950 All-American awards. In comparative 
| tests, Topcrop is earlier than Tendergreen, reaching the pick- 
ing stage in 51-53 days after planting. Plants are about 15 to 
16 inches high with a spread of about 23 inches; are vigorous and well 
branched with fairly large leaves slightly lighter than Tendergreen. High 
yields are borne during a short interval, giving a few large instead of 
many small pickings. The pods of Topcrop are about 6 to 6!/2 inches 
long, 7/16 inches wide, and round. They are slender when young, but 
become fairly large when older. The seed development is slow, making 
for a very meaty pod, even in relatively advanced stages of maturity. 
The pods are a little lighter green than Tendergreen; straight to slightly 
curved, smooth, entirely stringless, without fiber. Seeds are oval, and 
brown mottled. Topcrop has been under test for the past several years 
in many sections of the country as a market, canning, and freezing type. 
Performance records show that it is very hardy, widely adapted and a 
dependable cropper. By mail postpaid, Pkt. 15c; '/2 Ib. 35c¢; Ib. 65¢;
