NEW STRINGLESS 



GREEN POD BUSH BEAN. 



A TRUCKER'S TREASURE. 



The New Stringless Green Pod is now one of the most popular bush 

 beans in America. In point of earliness it ranks among the first; in 

 quality it is excelled by nothing, and in bearing ability it stands with- 

 out a rival. As to brittleness of pod, the point suggested by its name, 

 its merit is so high that its enthusiastic friends claim that it is 



The Only Really Stringless Green Pod Bean in Cultivation. 



The pods are full, fleshy and nearly straight, and are borne in abund- 

 ance through a long season, beginning early. They are 53^ to C>£ inches 

 in length, light green in color, very tender, and of highest and best 

 flavor. They remain long in edible condition, and the plant or bush 

 bears continuously for weeks. 



This bean is unexcelled for home use, and will be found very profitable 

 for market, on account of its heavy cropping habit. The testimony in 

 regard to it is all in one direction and all highly flattering.

NEW GREEN POD 



BUSH 

 BEAN 



INEXHAUSTIBLE. 



This new bush bean is everbearing; that is, it goes right on producing 

 pods indefinitely all through the season, if picking is continuous and 

 thorough. The variety is of French origin, and has been sold under the 

 name of Everbearing. 



Inexhaustible has very dark green foliage and pods. The leaves are 

 somewhat crumpled or savoy-like. The first pods are produced low, in 

 the manner common to bush beans, but at length the bearing shoots or 

 branches are thrown out from the heart of the plant above and beyond 

 the foliage. The pods should be picked when young, at which time they 

 are stringless, sweet and brittle. They attain a length of 4 or 5 inches, 

 and become somewhat tough if allowed to remain too long on the bush. 

 Indeed, they are best when not fully grown. The pod is about half an 

 inch broad in the middle, tapering toward the ends; dark green skin. 



This bush bean is of a new and distinct type, and my Briar Crest trials 

 convince me of its high value, especally as to quality and availability 

 during a long season, and I therefore recommend it. 



Packet, 10 cents; pint, 80 cents; quart, 50 cents, postpaid. 



"he particular attention 



of my friends is directed to 



the fact that this year all 



■ my packets of vegetable 



seeds contain full and explicit directions for culture, written by Mr. 

 T. Greiner, and revised by myself. This will be found a matter of 

 great convenience to all planters of Maule's Seeds. They are so 

 plainly written that there is no reason why the most inexperienced 

 gardener should not have a most successful garden, and they will 

 also prove of great value even to the experienced planter. 



BEAN.
