spreading, with dark green foliage; they are of strictly bush form and

the only stringless green-pod bush bean in existence. A great bean 
with a long and respected history, parent of many varieties and still 
unsurpassed for quality, regardless of what others may claim.

Grown mostly as dried beans for winter use; the pods of Dwarf.and French Horticultural may be 
used, when young, as snap beans. The culture is similar to that recommended for green-pod bush 
beans, but shell beans should be left on the vine until the pods are matured. The vines are then 
cut, allowed to dry, and the beans threshed and thoroughly dried out before they are put away for 
later use. One pkt. will sow about 25 ft. of row; one lb. 150 ft. of row.
