PLANT LANDRETHS’ STRINGLESS GREEN POD 
37 
BUSH BEANS—Green Pods Continued 
Giant Stringless Green Pod—56 Days 
Color of seed, yellow. Long, cylindrical. Height 
of vine, 13 to 15 inches. Foliage resembles Full 
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 showy pod, about 6 inches 
long, containing 6 or 7 beans to the pod. Our 1935 
crop for this seed proved nearly a total failure.

LANDRETHS’ STRINGLESS GREEN POD- 
54 Days 
This bean is from an individual plant Trial Ground 
selection from the Burpee’s Stringless Green Pod. 
We made a new selection eleven 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 slimmer 
pod than the old type of Burpee’s Stringless; pods 
and vines stay green 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 twenty bushels per 
acre of seed beans in Idaho with us when Bountiful 
did not average one on account of blight. The most 
blight resistant Bean on the market today. For 
Canner’s 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 resistant and most pro¬ 
ductive Bean in existence today. 
Longfellow or French Lead Pencil—56 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—56 
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. 
New Stringless or Tendergreen—54 Days 
Color of seed resembles Refugee Stringless. 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.
