SUPERIOR BEANS GROWN AT OUR WESTERN STATION 
3 
BUSH BEANS—Green Pods Continued 
Giant Stringless Green Pod—56 Days. Color of 
seed, yellow. Long, cylindrical. Height of vine, 
13 to 15 inches. Foliage resembles Full Measure, 
but is yellowish green. Not so early by 2 or 3 days 
as the Stringless. Pods round, meaty, similar to 
Stringless, slightly straighter and narrower. A 
showy pod, about 6 inches long, containing 6 or 7 
beans. 
LANDRETHS’ STRINGLESS GREEN POD—54 
Days. This bean was propagated from an individ¬ 
ual plant Trial Ground selection from the Burpee’s 
Stringless Green Pod. We made the selection years 
ago from one individual plant and have propagated 
it ever since, so that our stock is the product of this 
plant. The color of the seed is brown, kidney 
shaped; does not show the seed in the pod as the 
old Stringless; vine is more erect with a darker 
foliage and a longer slimmer pod than the old type 
of Burpee’s Stringless; pods and vines stay green 
longer than the original type; pods six to eight 
inches long do not turn yellow, slightly curved, 
meaty, absolutely stringless and free from fibers. 
This is undoubtedly the best round podded bean 
in the market today for home garden, market 
gardeners, or canners. It is greatly superior to the 
Giant Stringless. The vine is 17 to 18 inches high 
with 7 or 8 beans in a pod. For Canner’s use will 
produce 10% to 15% more pods in weight than 
any other bean. We can say justly it is the best, 
most disease resistant and most productive Bean 
in existence today. 
All Landreths’ planting stock Bean seed is grown 
from individual plant selections made on our 
breeding grounds from year to year. 
Landreths’ Stringless Green Pod 
Lowe’s Champion or Dwarf Red Cranberry—56 
Days. Height of vine, 11 to 13 inches. Foliage, 
dark green. Almost round, crimson seed. Pods 
5 inches long, flat, deep green, stringless, broad, 
almost straight, very tender. 5 or 6 beans to the pod. 
An excellent bean for canning. Also used as a Shell 
Bean. 
New Stringless or Tendergreen—54 Days. Color 
of seed resembles Refugee Stringless. Height of 
vine, 17 inches, not quite as dark foliage as Lan¬ 
dreths’ Stringless. Pods 6 inches long, round, 
almost straight, meaty, 5 or 6 beans in a pod. Not 
as productive as Landreths’ Stringless. Resembles 
Full Measure, but hardier and more dependable. 
LANDRETHS’ EXTRA EARLY STRINGLESS 
RED VALENTINE—54 Days. This is an “old 
bean in a new pod,” as the Extra Early Red Valen¬ 
tine was catalogued by the Landreths first in 1832. 
After most diligent work in our trial grounds, we 
have produced a bean the same color, not so curved, 
the same size, in all respects as the old Extra Early 
Red Valentine, except it is stringless and will fill a 
long felt want, as the Extra Early Red Valentine is 
one of the best known beans cultivated in the United 
States and considered by many growers to be of 
superior flavor to any other bean in the market. It 
is productive, round podded, curved, stringless, free 
from fibers, and of excellent quality. It is in every 
way equal to the old type Red Valentine and better 
because it is stringless. 
Red Valentine Extra Early—54 Days. Color of 
seed, red mottled. Foliage, resembling Black Valen¬ 
tine, of a yellowish green. Height of vine, 14 to 15 
inches. Pods, 4 \ inches long, almost round, curved, 
cylindrical with a crease in back, light green, semi¬ 
transparent, and stringy, averaging 5 or 6 beans in a 
pod. One of the old standbys of good flavor, still 
very popular for family and market gardeners.
