TOP CROP "All America’’ 1950 
{ {2—(51 days.) Top 
Crop is a green snap- 
bean developed by 
the United States De- 
partment of Agricul- 
ture, and it won the All 
America Gold Medal Award 
in 1950. It is one of the heav- 
iest yielders and is very re- 
sistant to mosaic. The pods 
are straight, smooth, 5% to 
6 inches long, filled from end 
to end with round, mottled 
brown seeds. In addition, 
they are completely string- 
less, fiberless, and very meaty. 
Their quality can’t be beat, 
and their flavor is unusually 
good. One of the two best for 
cooking, and excellent for 
freezing, canning, and mar- 
ket.

WADE BUSH BEAN 
"All America’ 1952 
({7—(54 days). Wade, like 
Top Crop, has the distinction 
of being one of the very few 
vegetables ever to win an All 
America Gold Medal Award. 
The pods, which are kept off 
the ground because the bush 
grows upright, are deep 
green, 5% to 6” long, round 
and slender. Tops in quality 
and flavor and, because of its 
smoothness and uniformity, 
ideal for canning and freez- 
ing. The favorite for market- 
ing because it is so slow wilt- 
ing. Very resistant to mosaic 
and powdery mildew, and a 
heavy yielder. Triple size

One of the nicest things about pole 
beans is that they can be grown 
along the garden fence, and this 
makes them especially valuable for 
city gardening. For those -who have 
corn fields, just plant a few climbing 
beans along the edge of the field and 
the cornstalks will support the beans. 
You women folks who tend the gar- 
den should plant pole beans in the 
corn field and let the corn cultivator 
do the tending for you. Saves time 
and work.

INOCULATE BEANS 
for GREATER YIELD 
Of course you can 
grow good beans 
without inoculating 
them with Nitragin, 
but if you do inoculate them you will 
get plants that grow faster and yield 
more. The reason is that the inocu- 
lation helps the plant take nitrogen 
from the air, and fertilize the soil. 
It’s easy to do. Just dust Nitragin 
on the seed. It never fails to in 
crease the yield and thus pay for 
itself many times over. A 15¢ packet 
is enough for five pounds of seed.

folks think of beans they 
think of green beans and 
forget the kind that, to our 
way of thinking, is best of 
all—the yellow bush beans. 
If you have never planted 
or eaten yellow bush beans 
don’t pass them up this 
year. They yield equally 
as much as the green ones, 
are as tender and just as 
stringless and, almost 
without exception, have a 
better, more pleasing fla- 
vor. This year, try several 
varieties. You will like 
them we know. They re- 
quire the same care and 
culture as green bush 
beans.
