“We live in Kyusha, southern 
Japan, and our weather is suitable 
for planting now. 
“We have always had good luck 
with Meyer’s seeds and with four 
acres of ground, quantities of humus 
and light soil, and two Japanese 
gardeners, I think we shall do well.”

characteristics of the variety ts the ease with which the 
Beans can be picked, because it seems that the pods all 
hang on the outside of the plant. Plant large and erect; 
pods golden wax, oval, nearly straight, stringless at all 
stages, tender and of good quality. The most prolifte wax- 
podded variety, equal in yield to the best green-podded

the commercial processor. An early-maturing Bean ready for picking in 51 days or 
normally two to three days earlier than Tendergreen.

frame, giving It a distinct ruggedness. Rich, medium dark green foliage. Outstand- 
ing for its productiveness. Pods 51% to 6 inches long, round, stringless, very attrac- 
tive, medium light green. Notably straight to very slight curve, with excellent tender-

(58 days.) Excellent for home garden and market garden and has some unique char- 
acteristics which should make it well adapted for processing. Compared to Tender- 
green, this Bean is about two days later, grows taller and is resistant to common bean 
mosaic, bean virus 15 and powdery mildew. 
Bush-type plant, 18 to 20 inches tall, with an unusually excellent, rugged frame. 
The foliage is very dark green. Pods are borne well off the ground. It has grown up 
as a most productive Bean with high yield im trials in practically all areas where it 
has been tested. Pods are deep green, 51% to 6 inches long, round, tender and meaty. 
Remarkably smooth and very straight. Holds smooth edible stage far longer than any 
of the other recently introduced mosaic-resistant varieties.
