SOME OF THE 476 VARIETIES IN OUR 1950 TEST GARDENS. 
In the picture above you see us standing in our 
test plantings of Beans. The picture was taken 
on August 15th last year and we were busy 
taking records on 47 varieties and strains of 
Beans. This is part of our great Triple-Tested 
Program to assure our customers the finest seed 
of the most productive and best flavored vege- 
tables. 
As a direct result of our Triple-Tested program 
we have introduced 3 new varieties of Green 
Beans in the last 3 years. They are Logan, Top- 
crop and, this year, Contender. (See Page 26.) 
These new varieties demonstrated their all- 
around superiority to us before we recom- 
mended them to you. Having seen the superi- 
ority of these 3 new Green Beans, we are anx- 
ious to have all you folks try them. Then you'll 
know the full importance of this part of our 
exclusive program of Triple-Tested Seeds.
