SUPERIOR VEGETABLE SEEDS 



Burpee's Stringless Improved 



BUSH BEANS 



1 pint to 100 feet of drill; 1 to 1^ 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 workinc 

 them while the vines are wet. Beans grow best in a warm, well-drained, sand^ 

 loam. For succession plant every two weeks until about August 15th. 



ROUND GREEN PODDED VARIETIES 



AcnrniD (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. 



Rlnflc Vnlt>ntinP Sitrinnlp^fi (Round Pod')— Produces strictly round, 

 DiatK Vaieniine Oiringifit>i> 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) ^^^\l''lrll\^h4 



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. 



NfiJtJ Stfrtnnlpftft QrPPn Pnd "^^^^ "®^ highly productive strain has 

 lyKlV OirinyiKUti irrt^cn ruu 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.

Dwarf Horticultural or Dwarf CherrU °"® °* ^^^ ^^^^ dwarf sorts for green shell beans for the home

 inches long, stout, flat and stringless. They are green at first changing as they mature to yellow splashed with carmine.

 entirely stringless and free from runners.
