Bountiful has been the most consistent money-maker in the large eastern markets 



BEANS 



No. 2. Bountiful 



Acknowledged to be the earliest and best in quality of the strictly stringless, flat, green-podded type 



Days to maturity, 48. Henderson secured this variety from D. G. Burlingame, Bean-breeder of 

 Genesee County, New York. Abel Steele, of Ferguson, Ontario, won a $25 premium for giving it 

 the name Bountiful. It was said to be a selection from Long Yellow Six- Weeks. For its season it is 

 not approached by any other variety in vigor, productiveness, appearance, and quality. Although 

 introduced 25 years ago, it is only recently that Bountiful has reached its pinnacle of popularity. 

 Now it has forged ahead of all green-podded Beans for market use. It can be planted early or late, 

 and because the pods remain in good condition for a long time after picking, it has become very 

 popular as a variety to grow for shipment. Synonyms include Breck's Boston Snap, Improved 

 Six-Weeks, and Sutton's Plentiful. Seed is fawn-color when harvested, changing to dark straw- 

 yellow as it ages.

No. 3. Tendergreen 



New. Early vine. Completely stringless. Round, green pod 



Days to maturity, 53. Introduced by Henderson in 1922. Apparently the parentage is unknown. 

 This excellent early-maturing type is becoming increasingly popular in market gardens. Plant 

 characteristics resemble those of Full Measure in many ways, especially in size and shape of the 

 leaflets, which are also much larger than found in other green-podded varieties. The plant will grow 

 to a height of about 15 inches, entirely without runners, of great vigor, and will produce heavily over 

 a short season. The long, green straight pods are round like a pencil, of high flavor and of attractive 

 green color. Seed brownish black, mottled with light fawn.

No. 4. Giant Stringless 



For 35 years the standard stringless, round, green-podded variety 



Days to maturity, 53. This popular Bean was originated by N. B. Kenney & Son, Leroy, N. Y., 

 and introduced in 1898 by Johnson & Stokes. It is said to be a selection from Black Valentine, but 

 the precise parentage remains unknown. It could well have been of hybrid origin from any one of the 

 many varieties developed at that time. It has the good qualities necessary for packing high-quality 

 cut Beans and is used for canning, for shipment, and for local market production on a very large 

 scale. The pods are larger, longer, straighter, and characteristic with inch-marks more prominent 

 than with Burpee's Stringless Green-Pod. It is very similar in general characteristics to Full Measure. 

 Seed light brown.
