Inoculation of Legumes Insures Success 
“We live in Kyusha, southern 
Japan, and our weather is suitable 
for planting now. 
“We have always had good luck 
with Meyer’s seeds and with four 
acres of ground, quantities of humus 
and light soil, and two Japanese 
gardeners, I think we shall do well.”

A wax strain of Asgrow Black Valentine. It is in the 
same season and has an oval pod and the same ruggedness 
and productiveness. One of the outstanding characteristics 
of the variety is the ease with which the Beans can be 
picked, because it seems that the pods all hang on the out- 
side of the plant. Plant large and erect; pods golden wax, 
oval, nearly straight, stringless at all stages, tender and of 
good quality. The most prolifte wax-podded variety, equal 
in yield to the best green-podded types. . n

Outstanding for its versatility in the home garden, local market garden and with 
the commercial processor. An early-maturing Bean ready for picking in 51 days or 
normally two to three days earlier than Tendergreen. 
Bush-type plant 15 to 16 inches tall, with rather wide spread, developing a strong 
frame, giving it a distinct ruggedness. Rich, medium dark green foliage. Outstand- 
ing for its productiveness. Pods 514% to 6 inches long, round, stringless, very attrac- 
tive, medium light green. Notably straight to very slight curve, with excellent 
tenderness. Meaty pods, holding the edible stage well after pod has developed to 
arge size. 
Contender 
Resistant to common Bean mosaic and has shown considerable resistance to 
powdery mildew. It shows fine possibilities for market gardeners and shippers and 
seems to be well adapted to a wide range of climatic conditions, possessing heat 
tolerance that may well establish it as an excellent variety for summer and fall 
plantings. Plant of spreading appearance, 15 to 16 inches tall. Pods are slightly 
longer than Black Valentine Stringless although thicker and heavier and almost 
round in the young market stage. They are stringless, with less fibre than Black 
Valentine Stringless, and therefore, have more tendency to curve.
