The “Wisdom” Stringjless Bean 
GROWN FOR QUALITY AND QUANTITY 
Absolutely Stringless Tremendously Prolific 
The plant is strictly dwarf, very erect while young, 
spreading when laden with fruit, 14 to 16 inches high, 
very vigorous and hardy, will withstand slight frost, 
branches green throughout, flowers light pink, pods 
large somewhat variable, 5 Vi to 6 inches long, dark green, 
making it exceedingly attractive, tremendously prolific 
and absolutely stringless. In this we have at last pro¬ 
duced an absolutely round pod stringless bean. One 
that has become a favorite with the trucker, packer, 
shipper, market gardener and the kitchen gardener. 
We feel that in putting this bean on the market we are 
putting money in the pockets of the trucker and market 
gardener, as it will readily command a higher price in 
the market than any other variety known. It certainly 
has proved a money maker for those who planted it, in 
fact we cannot emphasize its good qualities too highly.

BURPEE’S STRINGLESS GREEN POD is fast be¬ 
coming one of the most popular beans in America. In 
earliness it is in the lead; in quality it is unexcelled, and 
as a cropper it is unrivaled. It is stringless in reality 
as well as in name. It is an abundant cropper, and the 
pods are full, round, fleshy and nearly straight. In 
length of pod it averages a little longer than Valentine; 
light green in color, and extremely handsome on the 
market bench. Quality is all that can be desired, so 
that for home use it is the just thing, and as it is a great 
cropper, market gardeners everywhere are finding it 
very profitable. We earnestly recommend it both for 
market and home use. Pkt. 10c ; pt. 15c ; qt. 25c ; pk.
