GREEN-POD 
BUSH 
14 Burpee’s Stringless Green-Pod * 
Idaho certified free of seed-borne blight (48 days) 
The countless thousands of gardens in which this grand variety has been a 
mainstay for two generations prove its unfailing dependability. 
The plant is a true bush type, vigorous, and resistant to unfavorable growing 
conditions. The pods are 6 inches long, slightly curved, medium green, very 
fleshy, tender, and wholly stringless. Young pods develop quickly to a useful 
size, and even when quite small they are meaty and flavorful. The strain is 
well adapted to both commercial and home canning. The seed is medium size 
and dark brown. 
Our stock is grown in the irrigated Rocky Mountain region and is free of the 
seed-borne blight that is carried by much of the eastern grown seed. All bush 
beans are compared with Burpee’s Stringless Green-Pod in judging their value, 
and while some other varieties are preferred for special purposes, the public 
favor rests with this old favorite. 
Pkt. 10¢; 12 lb. 25¢; Ib. 40¢; 2 lbs. 75¢; 5 Ibs. $1.75; 10 Ibs. $3.00. 
Larger quantities at still lower prices.

We received more letters praising Tender Pod last year than any other kind of 
seed we sell. This new variety easily surpasses all other beans in desirability, 
and we sincerely regret not being able to offer it in unlimited quantities this 
season. 
Tender Pod has earliness, extremely heavy yield, long bearing season, distinc- 
tive rich green color, and superlative tenderness. 
Tender Pod plants are dwarf, dark green, and long-lived: The pods are just 
41% to 5 in. long, slightly curved, velvety in texture, and without a trace of 
strings. Their flavor is mild and certainly equal to any other variety. The 
seed is white, with red dots on either side of the eye. Last year our supply 
melted so fast that thousands of gardeners had to be disappointed. This year 
we believe there'll be some for everybody. Pkt. 15¢. 
48 Stringless Tendergrecn ss 
Idaho certified free of seed-borne blight (52 days) 
This fine variety has gained widespread recognition in competition with 
Burpee’s Stringless Green-Pod during the past ten years. It has practically 
straight, 6 in. pods of an attractive dark green color. The flavor is particularly 
outstanding, and is the feature which has contributed most to its popularity. 
In addition to good taste-appeal, Tendergreen possesses tenderness, a plump 
roundness, and entire freedom from strings. 
The shape of the pods and dark green color make this variety superior for 
canning purposes, while its very high yield makes every foot of space count. 
Seeds are colored fawn, mottled with dull purple, and are wholly free of blight. 
Pkt. 10¢; 14 lb. 30¢; Ib. 50¢; 2 Ibs. 90¢; 5 Ibs. $2.00; 10 Ibs. $3.50.

10 Mammoth Stringless 
Green-Pod 
Certified blight-free seed (50 days) 
This variety resembles Burpee’s 
Stringless Green-Pod, but is a selec- 
tion from Red Valentine. It is larger, 
both in pod and plant, than Burpee’s, 
and only 2 or 3 days later. Pods are 
medium green, round, 6 to 6% in. long 
and so fleshy as to appear to be double 
barreled. The yield is very heavy, the 
quality is excellent, and the pods are 
absolutely stringless. Seeds are light 
brown. 
Pkt. 10¢; 14 ab: 25¢; lb. 45¢; 2 Ibs. 80¢; 
Ibs. $1.75; 10 Ibs. $3.00. 
Larger quantities at still lower prices.

8 Black Valentine 
Certified blight-free seed (51 days) 
Black Valentine is not the fanciest 
quality bean available, but it is prob- 
ably the most vigorous and deter- 
mined producer in the bush bean 
family. It is versatile, adapting itself 
readily to varying conditions. The 
pods are stringless, dark green, nearly 
round, somewhat curved, tender, and 
meaty. They retain their color well 
after picking. The seeds are jet black, 
and like most bush varieties offered 
by Maule, they are grown in Idaho, 
and are state certified free of seed- 
borne blight so common to seed grown 
in eastern areas. 
Pkt. 10¢; 14 lb. 25¢; lb. 45¢; 2 Ibs. '80¢; 
5 lbs. $1.75; 10 Ibs. $3.00.

12 Bountiful * 
Idaho certified blight-free seed (48 days) x 
The most popular large, flat, green-podded bush bean; 
unexcelled in its adaptability to various climates and 
soil types. The plants are hardy, light green, prolific, 
and continue to bear their crop for many weeks. The 
large, broad, flat pods are 6 to 7 in. long, slightly 
curved, meaty, tender, stringless, and of excellent 
quality. The pod color is light green; the seed is 
straw-yellow. This variety is favored by market 
gardeners because of its very high yield, good ship- 
ping qualities, and very large pods. It is especially 
popular in the South for early shipment to the North. 
Bountiful shows some resistance to rust spots on the 
pods, a characteristic which adds to its desirability. 
Pkt. 10¢; 14 lb. 25¢; Ib. 40¢; 2 Ibs. 75¢; 
5 Ibs. $1.75; 10 Ibs. $3.00.

13 Mixed Green and Yellow Pod 
Idaho certified blight-free (48 to 54 days) 
Gardeners whose space or requirements are small 
often find themselves wanting to plant more than 
one kind of beans, and yet they are reluctant to buy 
full size packages of each because they then have 
more than they need. This mixture includes some of 
each of the best green-pod and yellow-pod varieties, 
so in a single purchase you can obtain a good trial 
of several kinds. Since bean seeds are distinctively 
colored it is easy to separate the varieties, if you 
wish, and to identify them by their catalog descrip- 
tions. This is a good opportunity to become ac- 
quainted with several types at a reasonable price. 
Pkt. 10¢; 1% Ib. 25¢; Ib. 40¢; 2 Ibs. 75¢.
