Dwarf or Bush Varieties 
CULTURE —These plants are very tender and susceptible to frost. Seed 
should be sown after all danger from frost is over and the ground is sufficiently 
warmed to promote good growth. Sow the seed in hills 2 to 3 feet apart each 
way, 5 or 6 seeds to the hill, or if sown in rows 3 feet apart the seeds should 
set about 3 inches apart in the row. 
BURPEE’S BUSH (78 days)—Plant large, spreading, hardy, mid-season, and 
productive. Pods 434 to 5 inches long, containing 3 to 4 beans which are 
as large as in the pole sorts, flat and white. 
BURPEE’S IMPROVED BUSH (76 days)—Both beans and pods will 
average larger than in the old type. The pods usually 534 to 6 inches in 
length and containing 6 beans of greater thickness.
