80 Stringless Black Valentine 
The Leading Variety for Shipping 
This hardy, dependable oval bean is probably the most widely grown shipping and market type. 
It can be planted early or late and is productive under nearly all conditions. The upright sturdy 
plants bear large crops and the straight handsome pods withstand long distance shipping and 
always sell readily. 
Our strain is the preferred type, with slender straight oval pods of uniform length and fine 
appearance. The true slim shape is retained even under unfavorable conditions and our vigor- 
ous Idaho or California grown seed is always reliable. See prices below. 
22 Contender 
Best Yielder of Oval Pods 
For market, shipping and roadside stands where oval or semi-round pods are desired, many of 
the best growers choose Contender. It is early, resistant to bean mosaic and a tremendous 
yielder, giving its best crops and straightest pods where soil moisture and fertility are high. 
The pods are extra long (5% to 7 in.) smooth, somewhat curved and very attractive. They hold 
up well for shipping and the quality is excellent for this type—stringless, with little fiber and 
fine flavor. They are thicker and more meaty than Stringless Black Valentine and are some- 
times sold on round bean markets. 
The dwarf compact vines set heavily and ripen evenly, giving big crops at each picking. 
Vigorous, widely adapted and true-to-type, our stock of Contender is highly recommended.

STRINGLESS BLACK VALENTINE 
Harris’ Strain is noted for slim oval pods 
of the finest type. 
83 Tenderlong 15 
A most dependable Tendergreen type, resist- 
ant to several common mosaic viruses, and 
adapted to mechanical harvest. The pods have 
a concentrated set fairly early and the up- 
right vines hold the pods off the ground. 
Round, smooth, nearly straight, uniformly 
medium length (5% to 6 in.) bright green and 
of fine tenderness and flavor. See prices below. 
50 Long Tendergreen

vorite still with growers for markets that re-

Mosaic Tolerant—Long Slender Pods 
TOPCROP—Earl y—concentrated set. 
84 Topcrop 
Heavy Early Yields—Mosaic Resistant 
For earliness and yielding ability, Topcrop is 
the leading round green bean. It is prolific 
and vigorous and ripens a concentrated set of 
pods nearly all at one time, earlier than other 
beans of this type. The straight plump pods 
are 514-6 in. long, medium green, stringless 
and of fine quality. It will do best if grown on 
good fertile soil and picked young. Developed 
by the U.S.D.A., Topcrop is resistant to com- 
mon bean mosaic. See prices at right. 
90 Wade 
Upright Vines—Round, Dark Green Pods 
One of the best of the newer round green 
beans, Wade is a medium late type, notable 
for its upright plants, smooth dark pods and 
fine quality. Its straight, slender, 514-6 in. 
pods are most attractive. They do not wilt as 
quickly as other beans, and their smoothness 
and rich dark green color give them a fine 
market appearance. The strong-rooted vines 
make a tall erect growth, holding the pods 
well off the ground. Resistant to common 
bean mosaic and powdery mildew, Wade has 
proved outstanding in the Middle West and in 
many other sections. See prices at right. 
Another excellent round green bean for mar- 
ket or processing. The vigorous vines stay 
erect, yield with the best and are tolerant of 
mosaic. The pods are of true Tendergreen 
type but slightly longer (about 6 in.) and hold 
their slenderness better. Very uniform, dark 
green, excellent quality. Mid-season maturi- 
ty. See prices below. 
25 Ibs. or more of one variety of beans will be 
supplied at 100 Ib. price. A bushel weighs 60 Ibs.
