reen-Pod BUSH BEAN 
Stringless 
were known as string beans and this name, unfortunately, seems to remain in many 



Before the introduction of stringless bush beans, green and yellow podded varieties _ 
Burpee’s localities. Now that strings and tough fiber have been bred out of:these varieties, we 
Tender Pod are referring to them as snap beans. Take a pod, green or © 
gel a yellow, break it quickly and see how it snaps. Pods are 






most delicious, raw or cooked, if picked when quite 
young and tender. They have more vitamins then, 
are better for you, and, they taste better. —

How to Grow BUSH SNAP BEANS 
Plant seed when danger of frost is past and the soil is quite warm, in rows 18 to 
30 in. apart for hand cultivation or 2% to 3 ft. apart for field cultivation. Make 
furrows about 2 in. deep and space the beans 2 to 3 in. apart in the row. Cover — 
with fine soil and firm the soil over the seed with your foot or the back of a rake ° 
» 
to insure good germination. When plants are 2 or 3 in, high, thin to stand 4to6 . 
in. apart in the row. For a contiruous supply of tender pods, make additional | 
sowings when the preceding planting is up and growing; allow plenty of time for 
the last sowing to bear before frost. Plants grow 15 to 20 in. tall and will bear 
more pods if you pick them when young. A pkt. of seed will sow about 25 tt. of ao 
tow; one Ib., 150 ft. . Bountiful
