All-America Selections 
Some varieties of vegetable and 
flower seeds are listed as being All- 
America Selections. These awards 
seedsmen. The twelve or more judges 
grow identical samples in scattered 
areas. They then vote Gold Medal, 
Silver Medal, Bronze Medal and 
Honorable Mention Awards.  Dis- 
tinctiveness from old varieties is con- 
sidered, as well as value for home or 
commercial culture. 
BEANS 
Bush or Dwarf Varieties 
Most of our Dwarf or Bush Beans are 
Idaho grown. They are from select seed 
stock and are of excellent quality. 
Culture. If planted every two or three weeks, 
commencing after all danger of frost has passed 
and continuing until about August 15, Beans 
should keep on producing all summer. For field 
culture plant in rows 214 feet apart, dropping the 
Beans 3 to 4 inches apart in the rows, and covering 
with about 2 inches of soil. In small gardens, rows 
may be 18 inches apart. Up to the time of bloom- 
ing, cultivate often, but never while the vines are 
wet, and do not disturb the roots, especially after 
blooming; otherwise they will blight and the crop 
will be reduced. Constant picking extends bearing, 
A pound plants about 100 feet of row, 60 
pounds an acre. A half pound planted every 
three weeks is sufficient for a medium-sized 
garden. 
MATURITY DATES following variety
