| Plentiful. (New.) For many years Bountiful has been, by far, 
the leading flat-podded green dwarf variety. Plentiful, though 
| 2 or 3 days Jater in maturing, has slightly thicker, darker 
green, and much longer, 8-inch straight pods of better flavor. 
_ Bountiful. The best heaviest yielding, flat-podded variety, with 
light green pods, 61% to 7 inches long, stout, flat, somewhat 
curved, and absolutely stringless, in clusters, making this the 
easiest one to pick. Very early, vigorous, and produces heavily. 
Full Measure. The fine stringless medium green pods are straight, 
6 inches long, very fleshy, round, crease-backed, have no neck, 
show depressions around the Bean, and are tender. Follows 
Bountiful by a few days and is a heavy cropper. 
Tendergreen. This matures early, with 6% 
to 7-inch pods, quite slender, straight, and 
perfectly round. They are light green, 
absolutely stringless, meaty and tender, 
maturing at same season as Full Measure. 
Black Valentine. The original strain, with round, 
straight slim pods, earlier than the Stringless 
strain but having strings. It is very prolific, 
Black Valentine, Asgrow Stringless. The pods are 
quite oval im cross section and are somewhat 
curved, but entirely stringless. The yield is 
slightly lighter than the original Black Valentine. 
Black Valentine Stringless. This strain is be- 
coming very popular in all sections. The 6-inch 
pods are round, quite straight, dark green and 
stringless. They are usually ready for picking 
in 55 days. A fine market variety.

and vigorous, with dark green pods, 5 inches 
long; straight, stout, round, and crease-backed.
