. Bulletin. Agriculture; Agriculture -- Arizona. 576 Bulletin 84 plots were seeded on various dates in 1913, 1914, and 1915. Lady Washington beans were used throughout the test, and teparies were added in 1913. The data are somewhat incomplete, though the results, supplemented by additional experience, indicate the desira- bility of May planting. See Table XLV. Of special interest is the tepary bean, which has been bred up from parent stock secured from the Papago Indians, therefore well adapted to climatic conditions of Arizona. No variety that has been tried on any of the Experiment Station
. Bulletin. Agriculture; Agriculture -- Arizona. 576 Bulletin 84 plots were seeded on various dates in 1913, 1914, and 1915. Lady Washington beans were used throughout the test, and teparies were added in 1913. The data are somewhat incomplete, though the results, supplemented by additional experience, indicate the desira- bility of May planting. See Table XLV. Of special interest is the tepary bean, which has been bred up from parent stock secured from the Papago Indians, therefore well adapted to climatic conditions of Arizona. No variety that has been tried on any of the Experiment Station farms seems so v/ell adapted. Tepary beans now on the market are white, though the parent stock included many colors. Interest is developing throughout the entire United States, and the demand is constantly increasing. When properly cooked, tepary beans have a delightful flavor, being preferred by many to other varieties. The cooking methods which are ordinarily used for other varieties of beans must be somewhat modified to obtain best results from tepar'es. They mature quickly, and, under favorable conditions, yield a very large tonnage for green manuring purposes or for hay. Teparies must be protected from rabbits. Another very promising variety of beans is Bates'. It is equal.
