ROOIKRANS BUSH BEANS 
52 days. A newly developed string bean from South Africa. Fleshy, thick pods are 
6 to 7 inches long, brittle and crisp without any fiber what so ever. Perfect for deep 
freezing and whether frozen or canned, always are crisp and tender, never rubbery. 
Flavor is delicious, having a distinct butter like taste. Harvesting stage is a medium 
green. Recent tests at Cornell University in New York vegetable trials created an unusual 
interest in this new bush bean, so much so, that a quantity of pods were frozen and 
displayed at their seed school. Highly resistant to rust and because of its origin, indi- 
cates its resistance to drouth.

HYBRID 46 WHEAT 
131 Bushels Per Acre 
We are one of three concerns in the U. S. testing this year a new strain of wheat, 
known as HYBRID 46, which broke a world’s record yield in England of 1952, the place 
of its origin. From a measured 9 acre field by a licensed surveyor and producer having 
a sworn affidavit as to correctness of yield, an all time record of 131 U. S. bushels per 
acre was set. Its ability to yield so heavily arises from its complex breeding, resulting 
in an extremely stiff short straw, able to stand up under very high fertilization without 
lodging. Bold, plump, medium soft red kernels are over twice the size of our common 
strains. The world’s record plot received over a ton per acre of commercial fertilizer 
mostly applied on a preceding crop of potatoes. We have given our two acre plots 
every advantage and similated the English method of production and await results late 
in August, 1954. Our 1955 catalog will give a report.
