GREEN-PODDED BUSH BEANS 
7 "Tendergreen" Stringless. 52 days, a dis¬ 
tinct green-podded bush bean, enormously pro¬ 
lific, entirely stringless, and bearing a profusion 
of finely flavored beans that are more tender 
than any other variety. The pods are 6 to 7 
inches long, round as a pencil, very meaty, 
smooth, and of a lovely dark-green color. The 
erect vines are exceptionally strong and vig¬ 
orous, producing an enormous yield of straight, 
beautiful pods, entirely without strings and fibre 
at all stages of growth. This excellent, early- 
maturing type is becoming increasingly popular with mar- 
• ket gardeners and commercial shippers. Produces heav¬ 
ily over a short season. The long, green, 
straight, round pods make a handsome 
• appearance on any market and sell at top 
prices. Tender-green is a bean of real 
merit, combining productiveness, hardi¬ 
ness and rust-resistance. The greatest 
and most valuable Bean introduction in a 
i quarter century. Vi lb. IOc; Vp. lb.

How to Grow Beans. Plantings 
commence in the Lower South during 
January; in our latitude, February 
and March. Sow 1% to 2 inches 
deep, 3 to 4 inches apart, in rows 
2 V 2 to 31 / 2 feet apart. Cultivate 
often until plants blossom. Deep cul¬ 
tivation when in bloom will cause 
many flowers to fall, and cultivating 
when vines are wet with dew may 
ca'use rust and spread anthracnose if 
it is present. Beans are more deli¬ 
cious picked before the pods reach 
their full size. Frequent picking in¬ 
sures a prolonged bearing season. 
Two pounds will sow 100 feet of 
row; 60 pounds (bushel), an acre.
