Burpee s 
Stringless 
Green- 
Pod 
Beans are one nf the most satisfactory and productive vegetables, because they 
grow' so vigorously and bear with such w’onderful abundance. Plants grow from l.S 
to 20 in. tall. Do not Sf>w seed until the weather is quite warm; in the vicinity of 
Philadelpliia, early May is about the right time for the first sowing. A warm, well- 
drained, sandy loam is best suited. The pods are most delicious if picked before 
they have reached full size, and the plants will continue bearing much longer. They 
will be ready to use in from 47 to 70 days, depending on variety. To provide for a 
continuous supply of tender beans, seed should be sown every 2 weeks up to .August 
10 . Plant in rows not less than 18 in. apart; space seed 2 to 3 in. apart in the row, 
cover with 2 in. of soil, and firm the surface to assist germination. One pound of seed 
sown thinly fills a row 150 to 200 ft. long; usually 90 lbs. of seed are sown per acre.
