Giant Stringless Green 

 Pod Bean 



This new Giant Podded Bean comes highly rec- 

 ommended. It is a seedling from the well known 

 Red Valentine. It is claimed by the introducer 

 that it is ready for the market with a more pro- 

 lific crop of pods a week earlier than this variety. 

 The pods are one-third larger, averaging five to 

 six inches in length. They are always absolutely 

 stringless, round, full and fleshy. It is very pro- 

 lific, and surpasses other varieties in crispness 

 and flavor. No market or family gardener can 

 afford to miss planting this fine new variety. Per 

 pkt. 5 cts., V 2 pt. 20 cts., 2 for 35 cts., postpaid 

 by freight or express Y 2 pk. $1.75, pk. $3.00. 



This remarkable 

 variety has proved 

 all the introducer 

 claims for it. It 

 surpasses all others 

 in crisp, tender flav- 

 or. The illustration 

 herewith shows the 

 width and thickness 

 of the beautiful 

 straight, green pods 

 taken from nature. 

 When we add that 

 the pods are ready 

 to market EARLIER 

 than the best stock 

 of the Early Yellow 

 Six Weeks which, as 

 all know is valuable 

 only for its extra 

 earliness, being of 

 inferor quality, we 

 are sure that the 

 Stringless Green Pod 

 will supply a long- 

 felt want. It must 

 prove of immense 

 value not only to 

 the market garden- 

 er who wants to 

 make more money 

 but also to the ama- 

 teur who seeks a 

 rare quality early 

 for the home table.

IMPROVED WHITE NAVY. This variety can 

 profitably grow to a much greater extent than 

 is now done as it is of easy culture, and one 

 that certainly pays better than most field crops 

 It ripens early, before any danger from frost in 

 northern bean growing latitudes, and often 

 yields sixty fold with ordinary field culture.

BUSH LIMA BEANS 

 Burpee's Bush Lima Henderson Bush Lima 



This variety is universally conceded to be al- 

 together unique. It is the first and only true 

 bush form of the luscious large Lima Bean. The 

 bushes grow eighteen to twenty inches high, of 

 stout growth and always erect, yet branching so 

 vigorously that each plant develops into a mag- 

 nificent bush. It is an immense yielder, each 

 bush bearing from 50 to 200 of the handsome 

 large pods, well filled with very large beans. 

 Plant when soil becomes warm, in rows 2 feet 

 apart and fully 12 inches between the plants. 

 Pinch out the top when about one foot high 

 which will cause plants to branch more. Per pkt. 

 5 cts., V 2 pt. 20 cts., 2 for 35 cts. postpaid, by 

 freight or express, % pk. $2.00, pk. $3.50. 



This Bush Lima grows in compact bush form, 

 from 15 to 18 inches high, and produces enor- 

 mous crops of delicious Lima Beans, which can be 

 as easily gathered as the common garden bush 

 beans. It is at least two weeks earlier than any 

 of the climbing Limas, and produces continuous 

 crop from the time it comes into bearing until 

 frost and being enormously productve, a very 

 small patch will keep a family supplied with this 

 splendid vegetable throughout the season. The 

 beans are of the size of the Small Lima, and of 

 the same delicious quality as the Pole Lima. A 

 fine variety for market gardeners. Per pkt. 6 

 cts., % pt. 20 cts., 2 for 35 cts., postpaid, by
