All-America Award of Merit 1933 BEANS The common bean is native to America Through intensive hybridization and selection we have developed sixteen of the leading varieties of stringless beans. These choicer and more desirable sorts are gradually replacing the older, coarser, stringy varieties. In addition to creating new and better types on our breeding grounds we continually apply the thoroughly 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 average results secured over a period of years. These figures apply to plantings under normal rainfall conditions, and will vary somewhat in different sections of the country. However, the number of days indicated is valuable in showing the relative earliness of the different varieties. All 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. Green Podded, Dwarf or Bush Varieties W inches ASGROW STRINGLESS GREEN POD 6 to 6y2 Our development introduced in 1930.
