SENECA WASHINGTON 
ASPARAGUS ROOTS 
Seneca Washington is the result of a cross 
that we made several years ago between two 
vigorous, high yielding plants of Mary Wash- 
ington Asparagus. Seneca Washington is fully 
as disease resistant as its parents and shows 
exceptional vigor, uniformity and heavy pro- 
duction. Our One Year Seneca Washington 
roots are as large as many two year olds and 
come into bearing earlier than other varieties. 
Large, healthy, freshly dug 1 year roots ready 
for shipment about April 10th. 
50 roots $3.55; 100 roots $6.10, prepaid; 500 
roots $17.60; 1,000 roots $34.10, not prepaid. 
Your Arrow was fine last year. My customers 
loved it. Ear Worms didn’t bother it.

WADE SNAP BEAN 
Wade, a new round-podded green bean de- 
veloped by the United States Department of 
Agriculture. Wade is tall, erect, carries its 
beans well off the ground and is resistant to 
common bean mosaic and powdery mildew. 
Pods are dark green, 514 inches long, straight 
and slender. 
CONTENDER SNAP BEAN 
Contender is an oval-podded bean that in 
many areas has proven to be an exceptionally 
good bean for shipping and the local market. 
Contender is early, a heavy yielder. 
CHEROKEE WAX BEAN 
An oval wax market bean that we especially 
recommend. ‘The plants are large and pro- 
ductive. Pods are smooth, 5 to 6 in. long, 
good quality and ship well. 
SENECA DETROIT BEET 
Seneca Detroit, the result of years of breed- 
ing on our farms, is much superior to our 
previous Detroit Dark Red stock or other com- 
mercial strains we have tested. Seneca Detroit 
has upright tops, well-suited to mechanical 
harvesting; a small, strong crown; a smooth, 
round root with a small tap root; and an ex- 
ceptionally tender, dark red interior. 
MONROE — NEW PEA BEAN 
Developed by the New York State Experi- 
ment Station at Cornell, Monroe is the first 
pea bean resistant to mosaic. In addition to 
being disease resistant, Monroe is earlier and 
more productive than Michelite. The seed 
size is slightly larger and not quite as smooth 
as Michelite. 
WADE SNAP BEAN IS TOPS IN YIELD, COLOR AND QUALITY
