21 Robust Pea or Navy Field Bean 



60 days. The Standard Sort for Winter Use 



This improved strain of white field bean, vv^hich was introduced by

 Burlingame Medium field beans. We recommend New^ Robust Pea 

 Bean to our customers on account of its heavy yielding and disease- 

 resistant qualities. The strong, upright plant carries the pods well 

 above the ground, which keeps them from getting injured by wet 

 weather before harvesting. Ripens its crop of medium size, dry, pearly 

 white beans in about 60 days, and all at once, making it easy to 

 harvest and thrash.
