GREEN-PODDED BUSH BEANS 
Bountiful 
Stringless Beans 
How to Grow Beans. Plantings commence in the 
Lower South during January; in our latitude, February 
and March. Sow 1 Yl to 2 inches deep, 3 to 4 inches apart, 
in rows 2^ to 3 feet apart. Cultivate often until plants 
blossom. Deep cultivation when in bloom will cause 
many flowers to fall, and cultivating when vines are wet 
with dew may cause rust and spread anthracnose if it is 
present. Beans are more delicious picked before the pods 
reach their full size. Frequent picking insures a pro¬ 
longed bearing season. Two pounds will sow 100 feet ol 
row; 60 pounds (bushel), an acre.

rich flavor will delight you. The medium-green pods are 
6 to 6)4 inches long, fully rounded, very fleshy, brittle, 
fine-grained, and deliciously tender. The sturdy plants

market, and canning. Pkt. 10c; y 2 lb. 20c; lb. 30c;

Black Valentine 
48 days. (Asgrow.) A per¬ 
fectly stringless edition of the 
old and reliable Black Valen¬ 
tine. The beautiful soft green 
pods are 6 to 7 inches long, 
nearly straight, meaty, very 
tender, of the finest flavor, but 
not quite so round as those of 
the old type. It is not over¬ 
sensitive to cold or wet weather, 
and will stand earlier planting 
than most Beans. The plants are 
large, erect, and heavy yielding. 
Well adapted for home-garden 
and early commercial use. Re¬ 
tains color and texture in ship¬ 
ping long distances. We predict 
for it a distinguished career.

insect-injured Beans should be discarded to 
obtain top market prices.

46 Burpee’s Stringless 
52 days. One of the finest Snap Beans in 
cultivation. Enormously productive and 
extremely early and hardy. The attractive, 
rich green pods are of medium length (5 to 
6 inches), slightly curved, and are so thick, 
even when quite young, as to be double- 
barreled. Even when fully grown, the 
superb pods are meaty and juicy, lacking 
the faintest signs of any strings. Always 
tender, brittle, and of fine flavor. The 
strong and vigorous plants are medium 
large, of somewhat spreading growth, and 
always of strictly bush form. Of greatest 
value for the home-garden or near-by mar¬ 
kets where quality, combined with heaviest 
yields, is desired. Fully two-thirds of the 
crop is harvested at the first picking, 
and in this respect it excels all other 
varieties. Pkt. 10c; V 2 lb. 20c; lb. 30c; 
2 lbs. 50c; 5 lbs. $1.00. Not prepaid: 
15 lbs. (pk.) $2.00; 60 lbs. (bus.) $7.50;

shipper. Plants are large, hardy,
