Plant every two weeks from April to August, at the rate of 4% pound 
to a 50-foot row. Sow Beans 3 inches apart, 14% to 2 inches deep, in 
rows 2 feet apart. Cultivate frequently but never when the plants 
are wet. 
Burpee’s Stringless. 54 days. Pods 5 inches long, slightly curved, 
round, dark green and fleshy. Very popular especially for canning. 
Burpee’s Tenderpod. A white-seeded, green-pod Bean which we 
added to our list last year, at the request of a number of our cus- 
tomers. As the name implies, it isa tenderpod Bean. Very popular 
among those who prefer a white Bean with green pods. 
Dwarf Horticultural. Snap pods 53 days; green shell Beans 60 days. 
Plant medium small, thrifty and productive. 
Giant Stringless Green-Pod. 56 days. Excellent for market gar- 
deners, shippers, and canners. Pods round, 6 inches long, entirely 
stringless. 
Streamliner. 50 days. A new variety for this section. Has enjoyed 
increasing popularity in other areas for several years. Flat to thick 
flat stringless pods. Bush medium size and prolific. Seeds medium 
size, oval, white. 
Stringless Red Valentine. 54 days. A standard early variety. 
Pods green, round, 5 inches long, stringless. 
Tendergreen Stringless. 48 days. An excellent early sort for home 
and market-garden use. Pods round, fleshy, stringless, with many 
brown seeds which’ are mottled with light fawn. Plants strong, 
upright in habit, and yield freely. 
Tennessee Green-Pod (Case-knife). 52 days. Pod the largest, 
longest, and broadest of any green-pod Bean; not entirely stringless. 
Topcrop. 52 days. Introduced last year as 1950 All-America winner. 
It was well received and proved to be an excellent Bean for home 
consumption or nearby marketing or canning. Not a good shipping 
Bean, as pods are too easily damaged.
