The White Seeded Stringless Green-Pod Bean
this is the best green-podded bush bean yet produced! The original Burpee's Stringless Green Pod, so long famous as unequaled, matures from three to five days earlier, however, and for first-early will remain as popular as ever. Most gardeners, to whom a few days do not matter, will probably prefer this New White-Seeded Stringless Green-Pod. The bushes grow eighteen to twenty inches high, are very vigorous and remarkable for their prolific character. The leaves are bright dark green, quite heavy, but not overabundant; the strength of the plant is concentrated upon the production of an enormous crop of handsome pods. The pods measure from five and one-half to six and one-half inches long; they are one-half inch wide and and half an inch thick, so full and fleshy that they are almost perfectly round. They are brittle, juicy, free from tough fibre, and entirely stringless at all stages of growth. The handsome light-green pods will please all who seek both quality and quantity. The seed, being white, can be used for dried beans in the winter. Pkt., 15c; ½ pt., 25c; pt., 40c;, mail, postpaid. qt., 60c; 2 qts., $1.10; 4 qts., $2.00; peck, $3.75
