BEANS 
WADE (B1515) (Mosaic Resistant) (new). (48 days.) This new 
disease-resistant variety was developed by the U. S. Regional 
Vegetable Breeding Laboratory, Charleston, S$. C. After numer- 
ous Florida trials it is being introduced this season as a most 
promising variety. The vigorous plants are tall and hold the 
pods well off the ground. Because of the heavy foliage, the 
pods do not wind-scar as readily as do other varieties of this 
type. It is a fleshy, round podded bean of the ‘Tendergreen 
type, but being mosaic resistant it is a consistently higher 
yielder and produces longer, straighter pods than Tender- 
green. The pods are of a deep green color and hold their 
green color exceptionally well in transit and on the market. 
Entirely stringless and little fiber. This bean is a dual purpose 
bean, good for market as well as for processing. This variety 
possesses disease resistance, high yield, good quality, attractive 
appearance in color and length, and is a good shipper. 
Not available until after January 1, 1952

GREEN PODDED POLE BEANS

or 4 people. 
Culture of Green Podded Pole Beans. Pole beans are later 
in maturing than bush beans, but bear for a longer season, 
and are extremely productive, yielding more than bush beans, 
and also produce bigger pods. ‘They are somewhat more tender 
than bush beans if harvested young. For best results, pole 
beans should be supported by wires or by good strong poles to 
keep them off the ground. Poles should be 8 to 9 feet above 
ground, and set firmly in the ground, in rows 3 to 4 feet apart, 
and three feet apart in the row. Plant three to four seeds 
around each pole. When plants are well established, thin to 
two or three plants to a pole. A better arrangement would be 
to place three or four poles tent-fashion at 3 ft. spacings in 
the row, and then thin to one plant at a pole. In order to keep 
pole beans bearing over a long season, it is important to keep 
them closely picked. Inoculate bean seed with Nitragin for 
best results. (See page 69.) In order to control soil diseases 
and get a better stand, it is always desirable to treat bean seed 
with “Spergon Seed Protectant” before planting. (See pages 
52 and 62.) Pole beans are more susceptible to mildew, rust 
and other foliage diseases than are bush beans, and therefore 
should be sprayed with Sulfocide or dusted with sulphur quite 
often. (See pages 53 and 62.)

KENTUCKY WONDER (OLD HOMESTEAD). (65 days.) 
This is a popular, vigorous, hardy, climbing or pole bean, early, 
and very productive over a long season. Pods are very long, 
ranging from eight to ten inches, curved, nearly round, with 
undulating surface. Though thick, they appear slender on 
account of their great length. Pods are meaty, very brittle, 
and of good quality if harvested young. The pods hang in 
large clusters from the top to the bottom of the vine, and can 
be gathered by the handful. Our strain has been selected for 
productivity, earliness and freedom from flat pods.

McCASLAN. (65 days.) A prolific, white-seeded pole bean, 
of Georgia origin. The seeds being white in color may be 
used as a green shell bean, although this variety is used most 
extensively as snap beans when young. A very vigorous grower 
and heavy producer. The pods are dark green, eight inches 
long, large, flat, slightly curved,.very thick and meaty, string- 
less when young, brittle and fine grained, and of excellent 
quality if harvested young. Because of the high yield of 
large, attractive pods, this makes an excellent shipping bean 
for the markets. Well adapted for planting in corn during 
the spring months.

U. S. NO. 4 OR 191 (WHITE KENTUCKY WONDER). 
(63 days.) This variety was developed by the U. S. Department 
of Agriculture as a high yielding type of white-seeded Ken- 
tucky Wonder, resistant to certain forms of rust. Plant is 
vigorous, with dark green leaves. The pods are dark green, 
oval, straight, long, averaging from 8 to 9 inches, and exceed- 
ingly attractive in appearance. The pods are stringless in the 
marketable stage, but tend to get stringy when older. This 
variety is exceedingly productive and very desirable for market 
or home use.
