No. 4. Burpee’s Stringless 
Green Pod

is still unequaled as an early stringless green 
pod variety. It is stringless, ripens early, and 
remains crisp and tender long after maturing. 
The vines bear long, round, thick and very 
meaty pods, about 5 inches long, entirely free 
from strings. The attractive deep green color 
and unusual quality of these green pods has 
placed them in high favor. It has given en¬ 
tire satisfaction everywhere.

Not prepaid, lb. 20c; 5 lbs. 90c. 
No. 5. Tennessee Green Pod 
(45 Days).—This well known variety is al¬ 
most as early as the Red Valentine. The pro¬ 
ductive plants bear handsome flat pods of dark 
green color, almost stringless, and of excep¬ 
tionally fine flavor and quality. Unlike most 
early beans, the quality remains good through¬ 
out its bearing season. The hardy and exceed¬ 
ingly prolific tendencies of the Tennessee Green 
Pod accounts for its popularity as an early 
bunch bean. 
Postpaid, Yz lb. 15c; lb. 30c; 5 lbs. $1.10.

CULTURE —Beans are very sensitive to 
both cold and wet. For the earliest crop, 
plant just as soon as the weather gets warm 
' —in this section about the first of April. 
To have a succession, plant every two weeks 
throughout the summer until the middle of 
August. Make the rows 2 to 3 feet apart, 
drop the beans 3 inches apart and cover 1% 
to 2 inches deep. Give frequent but shallow 
cultivation up to blossoming time, not after¬ 
ward, and never when the plants are wet. 
Plant in a light loamy soil that warms up 
quickly. Use plenty of fertilizer. Inoculate 
this seed with Stimugerm. 
One pound will plant 60 feet of drill; 100 
pounds to an acre in drills. 
No. 6. Extra Early Red 
Valentine 
, (45 Days).—A very hardy, extra early and 
productive standard variety. Pods 4J4 inches 
long, round, medium green, slightly stringy 
and of good quality. The extreme hardiness 
of this bean accounts largely for its great 
popularity as it germinates in colder ground 
than do other varieties. Recommended es¬ 
pecially for first planting in the spring and 
last planting in August.
