GREEN-POD BUSH BEANS 
Beans are one of the most satisfactory and productive 
vegetables, because they grow so vigorously and bear with 
such wonderful abundance. Plants grow from 15 to 20 in. 
tall. Do not sow seed until the weather is quite warm; in 
the vicinity of Philadelphia, early May is about the right 
time for the first sowing. A warm, well-drained, sandy loam 
ts best suited. The pods are most delicious if picked before 
they have reached full size, and the plants will continue 
bearing much longer. 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 pkt. of seed will 
sow about 25 ft. of row; one lb. 150 ft.; 60 lbs. for one acre. 
10 Burpee’s Stringless Green-Pod O 
Has the Most Delicious Flavor of all Green-Podded Beans 
52 days. The attractive, rich green pods are about 6 in. long, 
slightly curved, and are so thick, even when quite young, as 
to be double-barreled, and when fully grown, the pods are 
meaty and juicy, lacking the faintest signs of any strings. 
Always tender, brittle, and of the finest flavor. The 
plants are medium large, of somewhat spreading growth, 
with dark green foliage, and always of strictly bush form. 
Enormously productive. Noted for their hardiness and 
extreme earliness. Seeds are a dark coffee-brown color. 
This variety has long been considered the standard of 
quality for all Beans, regardless of type. It has been used by 
plant breeders for many years in the development of other 
Beans, but its quality and tenderness have never been dupli¬ 
cated. A favorite for home use. Pkt. 10^; V 2 Ib. 25jzf;
