Burpee’s Stringless 
Green Pod i3 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 ofthe 
beautiful fieshy 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. 
Steckler’s New Calico Bush Butter 
Raising this specialty is strongly recom- 
mended, as it gives universal satisfac- 
tion; it being a very early variety, mak- 
ing strong vigorous vines, branching out 
with many shoots or stems and bearing 
clusters of beans from bottom to top, 
When in full bearing it is easy for one 
picking the beans to gather a handful of 
nice beans at a single grasp. The flavor 
of this bean is excellent;. it is used either 
as a green bean or dry shelling. When 
gathered green it is a beautiful waxy 
white color and at maturity it has a 
mingled color of white, brown and red, 
making it a distinctive calico variety. It 
is especially recommended for summer 
crop, to supply the table in hot weather; 
it will stand the heat of any climate and 
bear profusely all summer, jas it is™very 
prolific. Pyne 
Giant Stringless Green 4} Pod Dwarf. 
With all the merits of its name-sake it 
has in addition larger pods and is more 
productive. Pods of this variety are one- 
third larger than Valentine, and it is 
claimed that it is exrlier; not so early 
as the original Stringless Green Pod, but 
it is desirable to plant with that variety 
for a succession. It retains all the char- 
acteristics and good qualities of its pa- 
rent, but with a very much larger and 
more showy pod. In quality no variety 
surpasses it; gardeners and truckers 
should give it a thorough trial.
