BEANS Phaseolus vulgaris Through hybridization and intensive selection we have developed many of the leading varieties of stringless beans. These choicer and more desirable sorts have largely replaced the older, coarser, stringy varieties. In addition to creat- ing new and better types at our breeding stations, we continually apply the thor- oughly proven pure-line method of breeding whereby we are able to maintain pure stocks of the standard varieties which meet the needs of the discriminating planter in a uniformly satisfactory manner. In listing the number of days from planting to marketable condition, we have used the average results secured over a period of years. These figures apply to plantings under normal conditions, and will vary somewhat in different sections of the country. However, the number of days indicated will serve to show the relative maturity of the different varieties. Seed beans are commonly handled on the basis of 120 pounds to the bag. Varieties listed in capital letters we consider the best and most important.
