GREEN BEANS —pwarf 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, 1/2 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. 
W _ (51 days.) This new bean is named for the late Dr. 
WADE STRINGLESS. J. W. Wade, of the Charleston, S. C. Regional Vege- 
table Breeding Laboratory, and was awarded the All America Gold Medal for 
1952. The plant grows tall enough to keep the beans well off the ground and 
is resistant to common bean Mosaic and Powdery Mildew. The pod is also 
classed as a slow wilting type, losing water resistance slower than the average 
variety. The pods are smooth, round, nearly straight, 5/2 to 6 inch pods. 
and of an attractive deep green color, and splendid quality. It is equally good 
for market or the home garden, and for processing. It should be given a trial 
by all bean growers. Pkt., 15¢; V2 Ib., 40c; Ib., 70c; 2 Ibs., $1.25; 5 Ibs., $2.55; 
10 Ibs., $4.50, postpaid. 
CONTENDER. (5! days.) An early, heavy yielding variety that should be 
given a trial by all bean growers. The medium green, 5 
to 6 inch oval pods are slightly curved and at market stage look nearly round, 
and of splendid quality. It is resistant to common bean Mosaic, and has shown 
considerable heat tolerance, and should prove an excellent variety, not only for 
New Wade Stringless Bean the spring planting, but for the summer and fall crop. Under certain conditions 
the pods will sometimes show purplish splashings. Pkt., 15¢; V2 Ib., 35c¢; Ib.,

Resistant. The round, slender, dark green slightly curved 6 inch pods are of excellent quality. Good for market, canning or 
freezing. Pkt., 15¢; V2 Ib., 35c¢; Ib., 70c; 2 Ibs., $1.15; 5 Ibs., $2.30; 10 Ibs., $4.00, postpaid.
