BOUNTIFUL. This is the best flat-podded, stringless va¬ 
riety. The light green pods are 63^ to 7 inches long, stout, 
flat, somewhat curved, absolutely stringless, very slightly 
fibrous, attractive, and of very fine quality. It is very early, 
vigorous, and produces a very heavy yield. 
Burpee’s Stringless. Very early, productive, hardy and 
vigorous; the dark green pods average about 5 inches long; 
straight, stout, round, and crease-backed. They are tender, 
brittle, of the finest flavor and quality, and strictly string¬ 
less. The plants are medium large, of somewhat spreading 
growth, with dark green foliage. 
Dwarf Horticultural. Tender, absolutely stringless, slightly 
curved, 5 inches long, greenish yellow, speckled carmine. 
French’s Horticultural. Vine is compact, with a tendency 
to throw short runners. The 7-inch pods are broad, stringy, 
fibrous, and marked with crimson. 
FULL MEASURE. The fine stringless medium green pods 
are straight, 6 inches long, very fleshy, almost round, crease- 
backed, have no neck, showing depressions around the 
Bean, and are tender. About same season as Burpee’s 
Stringless, but more productive. 
Giant Stringless Green-pod. Somewhat similar to Burpee’s 
Stringless, but pod is a little longer, straighter and more 
slender, more depressed between Beans and slightly lighter 
in color; early, hardy and of highest quality. 
Longfellow. Moderately early and productive, ready in 
52 days. The dark green pods grow 6 inches long, slender, 
straight, round, nearly stringless, tender and fine-grained. 
Low’s Champion. Pods deep green, about 5 inches long, very 
flat, extremely straight, stringless, and tender. 
Stringless Black Valentine. The pods are not quite so 
round as in the old type and are somewhat curved, but they 
are stringless. This yields lighter than Black Valentine. 
TENDERGREEN. A new, early-maturing variety. The 
pods are to 7 inches long, quite slender, straight, per¬ 
fectly round, and closely resemble Full Measure. They are 
light green, absolutely stringless, meaty and tender. The 
vines are very productive, maturing the pods at the same 
season as Black Valentine.
