GREEN- POD BUSH BEANS © 
Since the earliest years of our business we have been known for our remarkably fine stocks of beans. 
Each new introduction, whether it was our own or not, received serious consideration; and if it was 
worthy it was included with the others. When new varieties rendered old ones obsolete, we kept faith 
with you by eliminating the kinds that were no longer the best in their class. On this and all other 
pages we list both old and new varieties, but it is our strong belief that we have chosen the best out of 
many for you. The same cultural directions apply to Green-Pod as Yellow-Pod bush beans. These 
directions will be found on page 10. 
14 BURPEE’S STRINGLESS GREEN-POD % 
Absolutely stringless and the most delicious flavored of all (48 days) 
Some varieties of vegetables remain on our list for years just because no new varieties have been brought 
out. But Burpee’s Stringless Green-Pod has been sold for half a century and remains the most popular 
of all, in spite of sharp and constant competition from newly developed beans. 
The large, attractive, rich green pods are round, extremely fleshy and slightly curved, about 6 in. long, 
and always tender, brittle, of the most delicious flavor; entirely stringless even when fully matured. 
Matures early, is quite hardy and very productive. Its unusual quality and its ability to produce good 
crops under adverse conditions have made it the country-wide favorite of home gardeners everywhere.
