NEW WHITE SEEDED STRINGLESS GREEN POD BUSH BEAN. 



New White Seeded Striegless Green Pod Bush Bean 



Here is a new bean of remarkable merit and offered by 

 me this year for the first time. It is such a decided exception 

 to the usual run of novelties that I predict for this bean a 

 popularity in the next few years that will outdistance any 

 bean of its type on the market. It is a green pod bean, per- 

 fectly stringless, but white seeded. The seed can be used for 

 soup or baked beans all winter where the ordinary green bean 

 would be useless. The bush grows from 18 to 20 inches high, 

 with bright dark green foliage, which is not so heavy but

that the life of the plant is forced into the production of an 

 enormous yield of beautiful meaty pods. The pods so fleshy 

 as to be almost round, grow from 5J to 6^ inches long and 

 about J inch thick, are juicy, brittle and above all positively 

 stringless at all stages of its growth, also entirely free from 

 fibre. The bean matures with the early sorts and for 

 market gardeners as well as the home garden this variety 

 will be found to be one of the very best green podded bush 

 beans obtainable.
