Author Description

Excerpt from Comstock, Ferre and Co., Wethersfield, Conn., 1933 Among the newer varieties of vegetables there are many to be highly recommended. Nevertheless, it requires several years' trial to prove that a variety has a place in general cultivation. It must prove its dependability as to yield and trueness to type under ordinary garden conditions, and be useful in some new way or be of outstandingly superior quality to merit its use in place of older well-known sorts. We have listed below along with some of the best of the newer varieties some of the older kinds that are not as general ly planted as their good qualities warrant. Beans, black valentine, stringless A new variety derived from Black Valentine but much superior in appearance and quality. The pods are slender, round and smooth and entirely stringless.
