Stringless Green Pod. 
The Stringless Green Pod is now one of the most pop- 
ular bush beans in America. In point of earliness it 
ranks among the first, in quality it is excelled by none, 
and in bearing ability it stands without a rival. It is 
unquestionably one of the greatest green pod beans to 
date. As to brittleness of pod, the point suggested by its 
name, its merit is so high that its enthusiastic friends 
claim it is the only stringless bean. 
The pods are round, fleshy and nearly straight; are 
borne in abundance through a long season, beginning 
early. They are 514 to 644 inches in length, light green 
in color, very tender, and of highest and best flavor. 
They remain long in edible condition, and the plant or 
bush bears continuously for weeks. This bean is unex- 
celled for home use, and will be found very profitable for 
\ market. It has already taken great hold with market 
) gardeners, on account of its heavy cropping ability.
