Burpee’s Green 
Green-Pod 
Beans are one of the most satisfactory and productive vegetables because 
they grow so vigorously and bear with such wonderful abundance. Plants of 
the Bush Beans range from 15 to 20 in. tall. Seed cannot be sown until the 
weather is quite warm. In the vicinity of Philadelphia, early May is about the 
right time for the first sowing of Bush Beans. A warm, well-drained, sandy 
loam is best suited. The beans are most delicious if they are picked before they 
have reached full size, and the plants will continue bearing much longer. The 
early varieties mature in from 45 to 65 days. To provide for a continuous 
supply, seed should be sown every 10 to 14 days up to August 10th. Plant in 
rows not less than 18 in. apart, cover with 2 in. of soil, and firm the surface to 
assist germination. One pound of seed sown thinly fills a row 250 ft.' long; 
usually 90 lbs. of seed are sown per acre.

The Finest Green-Pod Bush Bean in Cultivation 
Accepted for years as unequaled by any other Green-Pod Bush 
Bean. The attractive, rich green pods are about 6 in. long, 
slightly curved, and are so thick, even when quite young, 
as to be double-barreled. Even when fully grown, the 
pods are meaty and juicy, lacking the faintest signs 
of any strings. Always tender, brittle, and of very 
fine flavor. The plants are medium large, of some¬ 
what spreading growth, with dark green foliage, 
and always of strictly bush form. Enormously pro¬ 
ductive. Noted for their hardiness and extreme 
earliness. Seeds are a dark coffee-brown color.
