Full Measure 
New Stringless Green Pod 
BUSH BEANS 
1 pint to 100 feet of drill; 1 to 14% 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 warm, well-drained, sandy loam. 
For succession plant every two weeks until about August 15th. 
ROUND GREEN PODDED 
VARIETIES 
Asgrow Stringless Black Valentine ¥™"'y a 
ardy 
and early as the original 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. 
Tendergreen—see new stringless green pod.

Burpee’s Stringless Green Pod (Improved ) 
Very popular and can be profitably grown by either trucker 
or home gardener. It combines vigor, earliness and produc- 
tiveness. The pods are produced in abundance and are hand- 
some 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. 
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. 
Dwarf Horticultural or Dwarf Cherry 0°20! the best qual- 
ity dwarf sorts for

shelled bean it is equal to the lima in quality while any surplus crop can be kept 
for winter use. The pods are 5 inches long, stout, flat and stringless.
