BUSH BEANS 
1 pint to 100 feet of drill; 1 to 144 bushels per acre. 
Beans are tender and should not be planted until the soil is well warmed. 
Sowing too early will often result in a poor stand and uneven ripening. Sow the 
seed 1% to 2 inches deep in rows not less than 18 inches apart and firm the soil 
to assist germination. Allow the plants to stand 4 to 10 inches apart in the row 
according to variety. 
Shallow cultivating and hoeing should be done frequently until the vines 
are in blossom. To prevent blight do not cultivate deeply and avoid working 
them while the vines are wet. Beans grow best in a warm, well-drained, sandy 
loam. For succession plant every two weeks until about August 15th. 
ROUND GREEN PODDED VARIETIES 
Asgrow (Stringless Black Valentine.) Fully as early as the regular stringy 
Black Valentine but producing exceptionally long, oval or nearly 
round pods. Extremely prolific, entirely stringless, and of highest quality. 
Black Valentine Stringless (Round Pod)—Produces strictly round, 
stringless pods. Not as early nor as 
prolific as the oval type and will not stand planting as early. Its real utility lies 
in the slenderness of its pods for canning. 
Burpee’s Stringless Green Pod (Improved ) Very populat and 
grown by either trucker or home gardener. It combines vigor, earliness and 
productiveness. The pods are produced in abundance and are handsome in 
appearance, being rich dark green in color, smooth, absolutely round, meaty, 
stringless, free from fiber, and of exceptionally delicate quality. Mature for 
picking condition in 45 days. 
New Stringless Green Pod This new highly productive strain has 
many Full Measure characteristics bred 
into it. Its prolific nature, season of growth, length, roundness of pods and 
appearance, are definitely inherited and yet to these very desirable features has 
been added a wonderful degree of hardiness which helps New Stringless with- 
stand adverse weather conditions better than its parent stock. 
Giant Stringless Green Pod A very productive long, round-podded 
variety, longer and straighter than 
Burpee’s Stringless Improved Burpee’s Stringless.
