New Varieties of Beans 
Here are four new varieties of Beans, as compared with those in 
the adjoining column, which have been more or less standard for 
many years. Those older varieties are still good, of course, and they 
remain very popular. But these newer ones deserve attention too. 
The demand is expanding very rapidly. 
Commodore (Ky. Wonder Bush). We have not stocked this bush 
Bean until this year, and are not well informed concerning its 
virtues. But it has been popular in other areas for some time, and 
we have had numerous calls for it. The name alone is sufficient 
to recommend it. 
Tenderpod. The white bush Bean with a pink eye, which we have 
had for some three years and which has become unusually popular 
in te short time. The podiis green and very tender. Also very 
prolific. ! 
Topcrop. 52 days. An All-America Winner in 1950, included in the 
All-America group last year and repeated this year. This Bean was 
slow getting started in this area but it ‘‘caught fire” last year and 
is now a much-talked-of variety. Round, green podded and brown 
seeded, suited only for home consumption and nearby marketing. 
So tender it will not stand shipping. 
White Half Runner. Taller than an ordinary bush Bean but hardly 
anybody finds it necessary to provide poles for it. It has had a 
truly sensational rise in popularity in the last two years, especially 
last year. The demand was so great that stocks were exhausted 
throughout the entire country. An almost frantic demand con- 
tinued to late summer, long after it was impossible to find seed 
anywhere. The popularity was so widespread that seed houses 
all over the nation engaged in a real scramble to get fresh supplies. 
We will have a large supply this year.

effect on Peas and Limas. We urge you to inoculate with Nitragin.
