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 thé 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. It is the best, most disease re- 
sistant and most productive Bean in existence today. 
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.
