BREEDERS AND GROWERS OF SEEDS FOR CANNERS 3 BEANS The bean plant, native of the Far East, has been cultivated from the earliest times. 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 breed- ing 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 dis- criminating canner in a uniformly satisfactory manner. In listing the number of days from planting to picking, we have used average results secured over a period of years. These figures apply to plantings under normal rainfall condi- tions, 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. Culture — For best results beans require strong, well-drained, loamy soil. In the North, plantings should be made after danger of frost is past, during latter May and early June. Plant 6 to 8 seeds to the foot, 2 inches deep in rows 24 to 30 inches apart depending on the richness of the land. It takes about 60 pounds of seed to plant an Air View of Bean Breeding Farm at Filer, Idaho, Showing Segregated One Acre Blocks Dwarf Green Podded Varieties Length Width Days from of pod of pod planting inches inches to canning ASGROW STRINGLESS GREEN POD 6 to 6y2 3/s 53 Our recent development introduced in 1930.
