CULTURE—Plant about May 1st for early beans, or as soon as the ground becomes warm, in light 
loamy soil. Large seeded beans require warmer weather to germinate than small beans. Coyer from lVz 
to 3 inches deep, according to weather conditions. Never cultivate or hoe beans when the foliage is damp 
from dew or rains, as it will produce rust. 
PRICES ON BEAN SEED—Unless otherwise 
stated, prices are uniformly as follows: Pkt. 10c; 
V4 lb. 20c; lb. 30c; postpaid. E. or F., lb. 25c; 5 
lbs. @ 18c. Write for prices on larger quantities.

sort with pods six inches long, nearly round and 
of fine quality. The pods are long and straight, 
making a fine bean for market gardeners.

pods. A few days later than Burpee’s Stringless 
but more productive and with longer, straighter

and of finest quality. The pods are bright waxy 
yellow, long and round and entirely free from 
strings. Desirable for home or market and very 
valuable for canning. 
♦IMPROVED BURPEE’S STRINGLESS GREEN 
POD—Considered the best early bush bean. The 
pods are green, of good length, entirely stringless, 
tender and brittle and remain so until ripe. This 
brown-seeded bean is both early and hardy and 
one of the richest flavored beans of all. A popular 
market or garden bean and desirable for canning.

bean with round, tender, green pods. Very high 
quality and producing heavy yields of pods about 
6 inches long. It matures early. Splendid for home
