tfat SNAP BEANS all season long 
Tender Stringless - - 
Finest Flavor 
One pound will plant 100 feet of drill; 90 lbs. 
of seed per acre. 
INOCULATE THIS SEED for earlier, bigger 
yields, and to enrich the soil. 
Culture: Plant as soon as danger of frost is 
over; placing the seed 2 to 3 inches apart and 
about 2 inches deep. The rows should be 2 
feet apart. Keep the pods from touching the 
ground. Most beans should be picked when 
about 4 inches long. Frequent pickings insure a 
more prolonged bearing season. Avoid jerking 
the plant, as this frequently disturbs young feed¬ 
ing roots. Do not pick when bushes are wet. In 
green podded sorts, Giant Stringless and Burpee’s 
Stringless are the leaders.
