BUSH SNAP BEANS 
Beans are sensitive to both cold and wet, so do not plant till the ground is warm. 
To have a continuous supply, plant every two weeks until September; further South 
they may be planted even later. Make the rows 24 to 30 inches apart, drop the beans 
2 inches apart and cover 1% to 2 inches deep. Give frequent but shallow cultivation 
up to blossoming time, not afterward, and never when the plants are wet. Plant in a 
light, loamy soil that warms up quickly. One pound plants 100 feet. 
het PLANTING—In rows 2 feet apart; 1 bushel (60 lbs.) to acre. Ready in 6 or 7 
weeks.

37—IMPROVED EXTRA EARLY RED VALENTINE—(47 days)—A standard 
variety, extra early. The pods are produced in large clusters on erect plants. 
It is very prolific and reliable. The pods are of medium length, and about 4% 
inches long, medium green color, curved, cylindrical, with crease in back, very 
fleshy, crisp and tender. When the young plants have to contend with adverse 
weather conditions, no other dwarf bean is more certain than the Red Valen- 
tine is to set pods. 
40—BURPEE’S STRINGLESS GREEN POD—Our Stock Truly an Improved 
Strain—(47 days)—This special strain stringless and fiberless from the first 
pods until full grown. The pods are longer, straighter, meatier and of better 
flavor than the average Burpee beans on the market. It is also a heavier 
yielder and due to its excellent quality it is unsurpassed for canning. 
41—STRINGLESS BLACK VALENTINE—(43 days)—Definitely stringless. 
It is perfect for the home gardener or trucker. The attractive green pods are 
Stringless Green Pod or Tendergreen nearly round, long, straight, very tender, and of good flavor. This bean is 
early, a vigorous grower, and one of the most prolific; splendid shipper. Due 
to its hardiness can be planted earlier in the spring and later in the fall than 
most other beans. 
42—-NEW STRINGLESS GREEN POD OR TENDERGREEN—Similar to Full 
Measure, but hardier, and a more dependable cropper. Plant medium large, 
erect, somewhat thick stemmed, heavily productive. Pods nearly straight, dark 
green, round, meaty, succulent; absolutely stringless, totally without fiber, of 
outstanding quality. Good variety for canning or shipping. 
44—GIANT STRINGLESS GREEN POD—(54 days)—This is a very desirable 
green-podded variety for the home garden, and also for truckers. The hand- 
some round pods are 6 to 7 inches long, dark green in color, brittle and per- 
fectly stringless. It is one of the most productive sorts and can be picked in 
one-third the time of any other variety. This bean is excellent for near or 
distant markets. 
45—FULL MEASURE—(55 days)—Has every qualification required of a really 
first class bean. It has earliness; it is one of the most abundant bearers, and 
bears for a long season; it is entirely stringless, and the round 6 inch pods are 
very fleshy, firm and tender. For the home garden, as well as for market, it 
is hard to imagine a finer bean. A good variety for canning. 
38—TENNESSEE GREEN POD—(52 days)—A very hardy and healthy bean. 
Desirable for local market and is resistant to adversity. A good yielder of 
large, long, flat pods. Very thick meat with texture and flavor almost equal to 
pole beans. Not entirely stringless, but a very desirable all-purpose bean.
