1 BOUNTIFUL 



Flat, Green-Podded, Stringless 

 Popular Throughout the Nation 



Introduced by us thirty years ago, this superior, 

 stringless bush bean is in greater demand today 

 than any other variety in cultivation. The plant is 

 very vigorous, almost immune from disease, hardy, 

 early and prolific. It bears rich green pods, of im- 

 mense size, thick, broad, extra long, very uniform 

 in shape, solid, meaty, and of high quality, melt- 

 ingly tender and having a delicious flavor exclusively 

 their own. The pods are stringless and entirely free 

 from any tough, membranous lining when young, 

 and this tender "snap brittle" quality is retained 

 even into maturity. Ready in 48 days.

 15 lbs., S5.25.

 but not quite as wide and slightly darker green, 

 straigfit, fiat, entirely stringless, and of the highest
