BUSH BEANS 
DWARF GREEN-PODDED 
One pound will plant 100 feet of row; 60 pounds will 
plant an acre 
BOUNTIFUL. This is the best flat-podded, stringless 
variety. The light green pods are 6 V 2 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 fin¬ 
est flavor and quality, and strictly stringless. The 
plants are medium large, of somewhat spreading 
growth, with dark green foliage. 
FULL MEASURE. The fine stringless medium green 
pods are straight, 6 inches long, very fleshy, almost 
round, crease-backed, have no neck, showing de¬ 
pressions around the Bean, and are tender. About 
same season as Burpee’s Stringless, but more pro¬ 
ductive. 
LONGFELLOW. Moderately early and productive, 
ready in 52 days. The dark green pods grow 6 
inches long, slender, straight, round, nearly string¬ 
less, tender and fine-grained. 
BLACK VALENTINE. 53 days. Well adapted for 
shipping, but too tough and fibrous for home gar¬ 
dens. In California this bean is usually called 
‘‘French String.” It is grown by the market gar¬ 
deners for the earliest bean and used when the pod 
is about the size of a thick shoe-string. 
REFUGEE OR 1000 TO 1. Very popular canning and 
picking sort. Plant large, hardy, extremely produc¬ 
tive. Pods medium green; very uniform, 5 to 514 
inches long, % inch thick, round; stringy at later 
stages; very fleshy, brittle, and fine grained. 
TENDERGREEN. A new, early-maturing, round- 
podded variety. The pods are 6!4 to 7 inches long, 
quite slender, straight, perfectly round, and close¬ 
ly resemble an improved Full Measure. They are 
light green, absolutely stringless, meaty, tender, 
and of very high quality. The vines are very vigor¬ 
ous, strong, and productive, maturing the pods in 
great profusion at the same season as Black Valen¬ 
tine. 
MASTERPIECE. (Sutton’s.) One of the best dwarf 
Beans. Extra early and perhaps the best for forc¬ 
ing. Plant robust in constitution and the long pods 
are straight, handsome, and tender—unusually pro¬ 
ductive. 
RED VALENTINE. One of the most dependably pro¬ 
ductive for home and market garden, unexcelled in 
quality for snaps.
