Dwarf Green-Podded Beans 
One pound will plant 100 feet of row; 60 pounds will plant an acre 
Bountiful. The best heaviest yielding, flat-podded variety, with 
light green pods, 6}/^ to 7 inches long, stout, flat, somewhat 
curved, and absolutely stringless, in clusters, making this the 
easiest one to pick. Our strain is very early, vigorous, and pro¬ 
duces a much heavier yield than others. 
Full Measure. The fine stringless medium green pods are straight, 
6 inches long, very fleshy, round, crease-backed, have no neck, 
show depressions around the Bean, and are tender. Of same 
season as Burpee’s Stringless, but a heavy cropper. 
Tendergreen. Early-maturing, with 63^2 to 7-inch pods, quite 
slender, straight, perfectly round, like Full Measure but not so 
productive. They are light green, absolutely stringless, meaty 
and tender, maturing at the same season 
as the original Black Valentine. 
Black Valentine. The original strain, with round, 
straight slim pods, earlier than the Stringless 
strain but having strings. It is very prolific. 
Black Valentine, Stringless. The pods are not quite 
^ so round as in the old type and are somewhat 
I curved, but they are stringless. The yield is 
j slightly lighter than the original Black Valentine. 
Burpee’s Stringless. Very early, productive, hardy 
and vigorous, with dark green pods, 5 inches 
long; straight, stout, round, and crease-backed. 
They are tender, brittle, and strictly stringless. 
French’s Horticultural. The strong, sturdy vines 
are fairly laden with broad, straight, 6 to 7-inch 
pods, heavily splashed with striking bright red. 
The improved strain v/e now offer has better 
length of pod, heavier yield, and more vivid color. 
Grown as a Shell Bean only; very sweet-flavored.

yield of 6b^-inch, deep yellow, thick, brit¬ 
tle, stringless pods, easily picked and rust- 
resisting. Fine quality.

bears enormous crop of translucent pale yellow pods about 
53>^ inches long, somewhat curved, semi-flat, rather slim, but 
fleshy, and of the finest texture and tenderness. Always
