35 Bansei productive and will produce crops in nearly any section 
of the country. The plants are erect, bush-like and literally loaded with 
pods, each containing 2 or 3 oval-shaped, bright green beans which are 
delicious cooked as green shelled beans. When’ fully matured, the dried 
-beans are yellow and may be cooked similarly to lima beans. Suitable for 
freezing. High in proteins and vitamins. Pods are short, fuzzy, not edible, 
and borne high in the plants which are rigid, upright and grow 2 to 2% ft. 
tall. Immune to practically all diseases and insects which commonly 
attack garden beans. Stands heat and drought and will even do well on 
poor soil. For use as green beans, use seeds as soon as they are fully formed.

BUSH BEANS—POLE BEANS 
~ In each of these groups, there are two distinct types of pods, — 
flat and round. Those flattened oval in cross-section are de- 
scribed as flat, and those circular in shape as round, while those 
in between are known as semi-round. The shape and color of the 
pod, green or yellow, depends on the 
preference of the individual. Many 
persons plant both green- and 
yellow-pod beans so as to have the 
two always on hand; this makes for 
a nicé change when serving at the 
table. In bush beans, green-pod, we 
highly recommend Tender Pod 
(round) and Bountiful (flat); for 
yellow-pod, Burpee’s Brittle Wax 
(round) and Surecrop Stringless 
Wax (flat). Round-podded varieties ¢ 
are the most desirable for home 
canning and freezing.

Bush Bean 
90 days. Oval, dark green pods 
2 and French Horticultural may be used, when young, as snap beans. 
The culture is similar to that recommended for bush beans on 
page 58, but shell beans should be left on the plants until the pods 
are matured. The bushes are then cut, allowed to dry, and the 
beans threshed and thoroughly dried out before they are put away 
for later use. A pkt. will sow about 25 ft. of row; one Ib. 150 ft. of 
row. Many varieties of pole beans, listed on page 61, are also 
desirable as shell beans.
