It is more robust and vigorous growing 

 than either Conover's Colossal or Palmet- 

 to, producing stronger sprouts of a 

 creamy white color and more tender than 

 any other variety. It is claimed that as 

 the sprouts are white and tender it is 

 not necessary to be planted as deep as 

 the Colossal, but this is a mistake; all 

 varieties must, in order to get tender 

 sprouts, be planted the same depth, that

is, the crowns of the plants must be at 

 least from 8 to 10 inches below the 

 surface of the ground. 



Palmetto. Another good variety, es- 

 pecially adapted to the South. The 

 sprouts are strong, of vigorous growth, 

 very tender and not bitter. We recom- 

 mend this variety highly, knowing it to 

 be one of the best for our climate.

CULTURE — Place in rows eighteen inches apart; drop a bean every two or 

 three inches. Plant from end of February, and for succession, every two or 

 three weeks to May. Bush Beans planted in this latitude during June and July 

 will not produce much. August and September are good months in which to 

 plant again; they will produce abundantly until killed by the frost. Do not 

 cover the seeds more than two inches. 



B u r p e e's Stringless 

 Green Pod is most happily 

 named, as it is quite 

 unique — the first stringless 

 green pod Bush Bean. 

 The illustration herewith, 

 taken from nature, shows 

 the handsome, straight 

 green pods; all are abso- 

 lutely stringless and of the 

 beautiful fleshy appear- 

 ance shown. The pods 

 ready to market two weeks 

 earlier than the best stock 

 of Improved Valentines. 



White Kidney. A good 

 strong growing variety, 

 should be planted more 

 extensively. 



Red Kidney. A kind 

 largely planted for the 

 New Orleans .market. It is 

 a coarse growing variety, 

 and much used for shelling 

 when the pods turn yellow, 

 so that the beans are well 

 developed, but yet soft.
