BUSH BEANS

CtTLTURE. — Beans are tender to frost, but it often pays to take some risk for 

 the sake of earliness. Plant in warm, loamy soil at the beginning of settled weather 

 in spring, and at intervals for succession until August. Rows may be made 2 feet 

 apart and the Beans should be planted not over 1 inch deep, several inches apart in 

 the drills; or three or four Beans in hills 6 to 8 inches apart. Cultivate and hoe 

 frequently when the vines are perfectly dry. In hoeing, draw the soil up toward the 

 plants. For String Beans, gather the pods clean when they are fit for use. The plants 

 will bear all the longer. 



Weight of seed Beans by Parcel Post including packing: Pt. 2 lbs., qt. 3 lbs., 4 qts. 9 lbs., 

 pk. 17 lbs. Sow 1 pound of Beans to 100 feet of drill; 60 lbs. to the acre 



Greeii'Podded 



BLACK VALENTINE. Very popular because of its earliness and unusual 

 hardiness. It can be planted very early and marketed at extra-high prices. 

 The round straight pods are about 6 inches long, of medium green color, and 

 are very tender and well-flavored when young. They ship well. 



BOUNTIFUL. An extremely early prolific Bean. The pods are long, flat, tender, 

 and stringless. Splendid variety for the home garden or shipping. 



Burpee's Stringless Green-Pod. Crisp and tender with a luscious flavor 

 i Handsome light green pods are produced 



in great abundance and remain in an edible condition longer than any other 



variety known. 

 DWARF HORTICULTURAL or CHERRY BEAN. A crop of these Beans 



has never failed to pay. The pods are broad, long, flat, meaty and of delicious 



flavor. It also makes a good dried Bean for winter use. 

 EARLIEST RED VALENTINE. (Hopkins Strain.) Matures one week earlier 



than other early green varieties, and produces a very meaty, round, curved, 



rather dark green pod about 4}^ inches long. A good yielder that commands 



high prices in the early market. 

 EARLY STRINGLESS REFUGEE ROUND GREEN-POD. Has pods 



of attractive light green, round, tender, and of a delicious flavor. 

 FULL MELASURE. A very fine round, stringless variety. Pods are long, and 



meaty, borne in great quantities. Very desirable for a late crop. 

 GIANT STRINGLESS. This is a great improvement on the old-time popular 



favorite, Valentine. The pods are fully one-third longer, averaging 5 to 



6 inches in length, 'absolutely stringless, very crisp, round, full, and fleshy. 



It is enormously productive, and is ready for market a few days later than 



old Valentine. We confidently recommend it either for the home garden or 



as profitable for marketing.
