BEANS 
Green Podded Bush Beans (Cont'd) 
WADE (B1515) Mosaic Resistant) (All-America Gold Medal 
Winner). (48 days.) This disease-resistant variety was de- 
veloped by the U. S. Regional Vegetable Breeding Laboratory, 
Charleston, $. C. The vigorous plants are tall and hold the 
pods well off the ground. Because of the heavy foliage, the 
pods do not wind-scar as readily as do other varieties of this 
type. It is a fleshy, round podded bean of the Tendergreen 
type, but being powdery mildew and mosaic resistant, it is a 
consistently higher yielder and produces longer, straighter pods 
than Tendergreen. The pods are of a dark green color and 
hold their green color exceptionally well in transit and on the 
market. Entirely stringless and little fiber. This bean is a 
dual purpose bean, good for market as well as for processing. 
Because of its long bearing season, high quality and disease 
resistance, it is highly recommended for home gardens. This 
variety possesses disease resistance, high yield, good quality, 
attractive appearance in color and length, and is a good 
shipper.

Culture of Green Podded Pole Beans. Pole beans are later 
in maturing than bush beans, but bear for a longer season 
and are extremely productive, yielding more than bush beans, 
and also produce bigger pods. They are somewhat more tender 
than bush beans if harvested young. For best results, pole 
beans should be supported by wires or by good strong poles to 
keep them off the ground. Poles should be 8 to 9 feet above 
ground, and set firmly in the ground, in rows 3 to 4 feet apart, 
and three feet apart in the row. Plant three to four seeds 
around each pole. When plants are well established, thin to 
two or three plants to a pole. A better arrangement would be 
to place three or four poles tent-fashion at 3 ft. spacings in 
the row, and then thin to one plant at a pole. In order to keep 
pole beans bearing over a long season, it is important to keep 
them closely picked. Inoculate bean seed with Nitragin for 
best results. (See page 69.) In order to control soil diseases 
and get a better stand, it is always desirable to treat bean seed 
with “Spergon Seed Protectant” before planting. (See pages 
52 and 62.) Pole beans are more susceptible to mildew, rust 
and other foliage diseases than are bush beans, and therefore 
should be sprayed with Sulfocide or dusted with sulphur quite 
often. (See pages 53 and 62.)

U. S. NO. 4 OR 191 (WHITE KENTUCKY WONDER). 
(63 days.) ‘his variety was developed by the U. S. Department 
of Agriculture as a high yielding type of white-seeded Ken- 
tucky Wonder, resistant to certain forms of rust. Plant is 
vigorous, with dark green leaves. The pods are dark green, 
oval, straight, long, averaging from 8 to 9 inches, and exceed- 
ingly attractive in appearance. The pods are stringless in the 
marketable stage. This variety is exceedingly productive and 
very desirable for market or home use. Grown most exten- 
sively on the west coast of Florida for shipment to southern 
and northern markets.

KENTUCKY WONDER (OLD HOMESTEAD). (65 days.) 
This is a popular, vigorous, hardy, climbing or pole bean, early 
and very productive over a long season. Pods are very long, 
ranging from eight to ten inches, curved, nearly round, with 
undulating surface. Though thick, they appear slender on 
account of their great length. Pods are meaty, very brittle, 
and of good quality if harvested young. The pods hang in 
large clusters from the top to the bottom of the vine, and can 
be gathered by the handful. Our strain has been selected for 
productivity, earliness and freedom from flat pods.

producer, unlike other varieties, producing from the ground 
up over a long season. The pods are medium green, eight 
inches long, large, flat, slightly curved, very thick and meaty, 
stringless, brittle and fine grained, and of excellent quality if 
harvested young. Because of the tremendously high yield of 
large, attractive pods, this variety has become the leading 
pole bean on the lower east coast of Florida for shipment to 
northern markets.
