Full Measure 
FIVE SUPERIOR 
GREEN-PODDED BEANS 
BOUNTIFUL 
A most desirable sort for either the home or market garden. Very 
early, hardy, vigorous and productive, with long, thick, fiat and 
slightly curved pods; entirely stringless and light green in color. 
FULL MEASURE 
One of the best and most satisfactory of the stringless, green-podded 
snap beans. A very early, productive, high quality variety, with long, 
straight, fleshy, round pods and entirely without strings; excellent for 
either market or home garden. 
BURPEE’S STRINGLESS GREEN POD 
This is also a very excellent round-podded, stringless variety and a 
popular favorite. The pods are not as long as Full Measure but are 
equally desirable. 
GIANT STRINGLESS GREEN POD 
Somewhat similar to Burpee’s Stringless, but the pod is longer, 
straighter, more slender and slightly lighter in color; early, hardy, 
and of the highest quality. 
STRINGLESS BLACK VALENTINE 
Pods not so rounded as old type; it is almost as early and pods 
are free from strings.

STANDARD GREEN-PODDED DWARF BEANS 
Black Valentine. A very vigorous sort with beautiful 
long, slender, round, straight pods of a dark green 
color. Highly recommended as an extra early 
gardener’s variety, but not desirable for the home 
garden because of its stringiness.

grown largely as a field variety for the dry seed.

what longer and more round; seeds darker in color.

shaped field bean; one of the best sorts for baking.

because of its stringless character is now the most
