Bountiful Flat Green Pod Bush 
Bean 
(see cut) The plant is of re- 
markably handsome and thrifty 
growth, being practically rust and mildew proof. It is very hardy, ex- 
tremely early, very prolific and bears continuously for several weeks, it 
is the first to give pods fit to pick in the spring, and the last to yield 
edible pods in the fall; in fact, frost usually finds mid-summer-sown 
plants still in pod and blossom; moreover, the pods are absolutely 
stringless and entirely free from any tough membraneous lining not 
only when young, but this tender, "snap brittle" quality is retained 
even into maturity. In addition it is most excellent shelled after it is 
ripe for winter ese. 1 his variety, while unrivalled in its class for the 
home garden, is also coming into great demand among the truckers.
