Measure, but is yellowish green. Not so early by 
2 or 3 days as the older Stringless. Pods round, 
meaty, similar to Stringless but slightly straighter 
and narrower. A more show}’ pod, about 6 inches 
long, containing 6 or 7 beans to the pod. Very 
popular with Canners. 
LANDRETHS’ STRINGLESS GREEN POD- 
64 Days 
This bean is from an individual plant Trial Ground 
selection from the Burpee’s Stringless Green Pod. 
We made a new selection ten years ago from one 
individual plant and have propagated it ever since, 
so that our stock is the product of this plant. The 
color of the seed is brown, kidney shaped; vine is 
more erect with a darker foliage and a longer «limmer 
pod than the old type of Burpee’s Stringless; pods 
and vines stay greener longer than the original type; 
pods six to eight inches long do not turn yellow, 
slightly curved, meaty, absolutely stringless and 
free from fibers. This is undoubtedly the best 
round podded bean in the market today for home 
garden, market gardeners, or canners. It is much 
superior to the Giant Stringless. The vine is 17 to 
18 inches high with 7 or 8 beans in a pod. 
This year it averaged over thirty bushels per 
acre of seed beans in Idaho with us when Bountiful 
did not average ten. For canners’ use will produce 
10% to 15% more pods in weight than any other 
bean. We cannot recommend Landreths’ Stringless 
Green Pod too highly. In sections where we have 
grown this bean it has produced an average of five 
bushels to the acre more dry beans than any other. 
We can say justly it is the best, most disease re¬ 
sistant and most productive Bean in existence today. 
Longfellow or French Lead Pencil—66 Days 
Color of seed, like a faded Red Valentine, same 
shape. Height of vine, 16 to 17 inches. Pods longer 
and rounder than Black Valentine. Medium green, 
superior to Black Valentine. Pods about 5 inches 
long, stringy, containing 6 or 7 beans. Very pro¬ 
ductive. 
Low’s Champion or Dwarf Red Cranberry—66 
Days 
Height of vine, 11 to 13 inches. Foliage, dark green. 
Very large, almost round, crimson seed. Pods 5 
inches long, flat, deep green, stringless, broad, 
almost straight, very tender, 5 or 6 beans to the pod. 
An excellent bean for canning. Also used as a Shell 
Bean. 
Masterpiece—66 Days 
A bean of European origin. Popular with gardeners 
from the Old Country. Color of seed and shape like 
Bountiful. Pods resemble Long Yellow Six Weeks. 
Stringy when old. We cannot recommend it as highly 
as Bountiful, which we consider vastly superior. 
New Stringless or Tendergreen—64 Days 
Color of seed resembles RefugeeLStringless. Height 
of vine, 17 inches, not quite as dark foliage as 
Landreths’ Stringless. Pods 6 inches long, round, 
almost straight, meaty. 5 or 6 beans in a pod. Not 
as productive as Landreths’ Stringless. Resembles 
Full Measure, but hardier and more dependable. 
Will undoubtedly take the place of Full Measure 
with Market Gardeners and Canners.
