GREEN BEANS—Dwarf or Bush 
One Pound of Beans will plant a row 100 feet long, 
60 to 75 Pounds will plant an acre. 
Culture: Beans will grow in any good, well drained soil, but do best in rich, 
sandy loam. Plant from April to August in rows 2 to 3 feet apart, 1 inches deep, 
leaving 3 or 5 inches between the Beans. Frequent shallow cultivation, drawing 
the earth to the plants, is essential until they come into bloom. Do not cultivate 
or pick them while wet with dew, and keep all matured pods picked off. Bush 
Beans usually grow from 15 to 20 inches in height. 
CONTENDER STRINGLESS. (50 days.) This new outstanding bean was 
developed by the USDA in cooperation with 
the Mississippi, Florida and Alabama Experiment Stations. It is earlier than 
Stringless Black Valentine, with a longer and thicker medium green pod, which 
at market stage, looks nearly round, and it is of splendid quality. Contender 
is resistant to common Bean Mosaic, and has shown considerable resistance to 
Powdery Mildew. It also possesses considerable heat tolerance, and should prove 
an excellent variety, not only for spring planting, but for the summer and fall 
crop. Pkt., 15¢; 2 Ib., 35c¢; Ib., 65c; 2 Ibs., $1.15; 5 Ibs., $2.25; 10 Ibs., $4.25,
