Bush Beans 
TOPCROP (U.S. No. 1). 48 days. A new variety 
developed by Dr. Zaumeyer of the U. 8. Depart- 
ment of Agriculture. It is a selection from a cross 
between Refugee No. 5 and Full Measure. Resist- 
ant to common Bean mosaic. Plants 18 to 21 
inches tall, slightly spreading, with light green foli- 
age. Pods 61% inches long, round, light green, very 
slender and straight when young. This promising 
new variety most nearly resembles Rival.

to spreading, with large, medium dark green leaves. 
The pods are 6% inches long, round, light green, 
fairly straight, very slender when young, smooth, 
meaty and stringless. Resistant to Bean mosaic. 
Excellent for market growing, canning and freezing. 
CONTENDER. 55 days. A market-garden Bean 
that should be of importance to shippers and local 
gardeners. The pods are slightly longer than String- 
less Black Valentine and much narrower and thicker. 
The color of the pod is much the same as Stringless 
Black Valentine, but there is less side wall fiber and 
less curvature of the pod. This Bean has been out- 
standing in trials in all parts of the country. It is 
very prolific and resistant to common Bean mosaic 
and powdery mildew. Seed is buff, lightly mottled. 
LOGAN. 55 days. Plant vigorous and erect, re- 
sistant to common Bean mosaic and powdery mil- 
dew. Pods will set in hot weather but are borne 
rather low; round, green, stringless and relatively 
resistant to spotting from bacterial blight. Seeds 
mottled brownish purple on buff. 
PLENTIFUL. 50 days. The pods are flat, thick, 
straight, of medium deep green color, 71% inches 
long, brittle, stringless and of distinctive flavor. 
The plants are most prolific and make a good growth. 
Noticeably resistant to certain rust diseases. Growers 
of shipping Beans certainly should give Plentiful a 
trial. Grown extensively in New England. Seeds 
black. 
TENDERGREEN. 52 days. An outstanding general- 
purpose variety for home and market gardeners, 
canning and freezing. Pods long, round, straight,
