14 BURPEE’S STRINGLESS GREEN-POD 
Idaho certified free of seed-borne blight (48 days) 
The countless thousands of gardens in which this grand variety has been a 
mainstay for two generations prove its unfailing dependability. 
The plant is a true bush type, vigorous, and resistant to unfavorable growing 
conditions. The pods are 6 inches long, slightly curved, medium green, very 
fleshy, tender, and wholly stringless. Young pods develop quickly to a useful 
size, and even when quite small they are meaty and flavorful. The strain is 
well adapted to both commercial and home canning. The seed is medium size 
and dark brown. 
Our stock is grown in the irrigated Rocky Mountain region and is free of the 
seed-borne blight that is carried by much of the eastern grown seed. All bush 
beans are compared with Burpee’s Stringless Green-Pod in judging their value, 
and while some other varieties are preferred for special purposes, the public 
favor rests with this old favorite. 
Pkt. 10¢; 14 Ib. 20¢; lb. 35¢; 2 Ibs. 65¢; 5 Ibs. $1.50; 10 lbs. $2.70.

18 TENDER POD % 
The most tender podded bean grown (48 days) 
Introduced to our customers last year, this new variety has jumped into a 
favored position in just one season. Of all its fine qualities, its wonderful tender- 
ness is the characteristic most often mentioned in the letters we have received 
from gardeners who tried it in 1942. 
Tender Pod has earliness, extremely heavy yield, long bearing season, distinc- 
tive rich green color, and superlative tenderness. 
Tender Pod plants are dwarf, dark green, and long-lived. The pods are just 
4¥% to 5 in. long, slightly curved, velvety in texture, and without a trace of 
strings. Their flavor is mild and certainly equal to any other variety. The 
seed is white, with red dots on either.side of the eye. We're very sorry that 
our seed crop was almost completely ruined this-season, making only packets 
available for sale. Pkt. 15¢. 
48 STRINGLESS TENDERGREEN ¥% 
Idaho certified free of seed-borne blight (52 days) 
This fine variety has gained widespread recognition in competition with 
Burpee’s Stringless Green-Pod during the past ten years. It has practically 
straight, 6 in. pods of an attractive dark green color. The flavor is particularly 
outstanding, and is the feature which has contributed most to its popularity. 
In addition to good taste-appeal, Tendergreen possesses tenderness, a plump 
roundness, and entire freedom from strings. 
The shape of the pods and dark green color make this variety superior for 
canning purposes, while its very high yield makes every foot of space count. 
Seeds are colored fawn, mottled with dull purple, and are wholly free of blight. 
Pkt. 10¢; 14 Ib. 25¢; Ib. 45¢; 2 Ibs. 80¢; 5 Ibs. $1.75; 10 Ibs. $3.00.

12 BOUNTIFUL &% 
Idaho certified blight-free seed (48 days) 
The most popular large, flat, green-podded bush bean; 
unexcelled in its adaptability to various climates and 
soil types. The plants are hardy, light green, prolific, 
and continue to bear their crop for many weeks. The 
large, broad, flat pods are 6 to 7 in. long, slightly _ 
curved, meaty, tender, stringless, and of excellent 
quality. The pod color is light green; the seed is 
straw-yellow. This variety is favored by market 
gardeners because of its very high yield, good ship- 
ping qualities, and very large pods. It is especially 
popular in the South for early shipment to the North. 
Bountiful shows some resistance to rust spots on the 
pods, a characteristic which adds to its desirability.

16 Fordhook Favorite 
White seeded, stringless (52 days) 
Plants grow 18 to 20 in. high and produce a heavy 
crop of beautiful medium green pods 5 to 6 in. long, 
¥% in. thick and ¥% in. wide. Very brittle, meaty, 
juicy, almost round, and above all positively string- 
less at all stages of growth. The pods are only slightly 
curved. The seeds are pure white, and if allowed to 
ripen are useful for soup or baked beans during the 
winter. This variety was discovered in a planting of 
Burpee’s Stringless Green-Pod, and it resembles that 
strain closely except for the white, kidney-shaped 
seed.
