BUSH BEANS 
The Garden Bean was probably first cultivated in Western Asia and was known in Rome about 
2000 years ago. Average height of vine 15 inches. Two pounds will plant 109 yds.; 80 ibs. per 
acre. Seed breaks ground in 6 days. One inch high in 9 days under most favorable circum- 
stances in greenhouse. We suggest planting only stringless types. Beans are one of the most 
desirable and easily cultivated vegetables that can be raised in the family garden. 
= Green Pods 
Black Valentine, Stringless—50 days. Color of seed black, shape 
long, slim, purple blossoms, vines 16 to 18 inches tall, pods half round 
to round. Slightly curved, absolutely stringless. Six to 63 inches long, 
color medium green, averaging 6 or 7 beans to the pod. Very prolific, 
extremely desirable for early planting, very hardy, productive, a most 
excellent shipper; a decided improvement over the old style stringy 
Black Valentine. 
Bountiful—50 Days. Vines 16 inches high, bushy and erect. Color 
of seed light yellow with brownish color about eye. Pods large, flat, 
6 to 63 inches long containing 6 or 7 kidney shaped beans. Color of 
pods light green, absolutely stringless, slightly fibrous, always tender. 
One of the best for both market and private gardens. The earliest and 
most tender of the strictly flat stringless pods. 
Dwarf Horticultural, Speckled Cranberry, or Ruby—56 Days.

French Horticultural—70 Days. Later than the Dwarf Horticul- 
tural. Color of seed cream mottled purple. Height of vine 22 inches. 
Pods flat, straight to slightly curved, fibrous stringy as they grow old. 
Vines all show a running tendency, making a wild appearance; therefore, 
much more vigorous than Dwarf Horticultural, but not as productive. 
Pods all green until quite ripe, when they are dashed with a brilliant red. 
Valuable as a shell bean, averaging 6 or 7 beans to the pod. Pods 64 
to 7 inches.

vine 14 to 16 inches. Average 6 beans to pod. Foliage slightly larger 
than Landreths’ Stringless Green Pods, and more of a yellowish green. 
Pods average 6 inches long, more curved than Stringless Green Pods, 
absolutely stringless, possibly more green in color. Pods round, not so 
large in circumference as Landreths’ Stringless Green Pods, nor as hardy. 
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
