Burpee's Stringless Green-Pod Bean
This famous bean, first named and introduced by us twenty-two years ago, is still unequaled as a first-early! It combines unusual hardiness, extreme earliness, and wonderful productiveness with handsome appearance and finest quality of pods. Extra early plantings may be made to produce the earliest crop, and eve with later plantings Burpee's Stringless is the quickest to produce pods. By repeated plantings pods may be had in constant succession from spring until cut off by heavy frosts in the fall. Combined with the extra hardiness and early maturity, the pods are of a rich green, very round and straight, five inches long, broad and solidly meaty; they are deeply saddle-backed, caused by the rounded swell of the fleshy sides. The pods are tender, brittle and of finest flavor, being entirely stringless even when fully matured. In a word, planters now agree that Burpee's Stringless is only equaled in quality by the new Fordhook Favorite! We could fill many pages with testimonials and enthusiastic reports, did space permit. Pkt., 10c; ½ pt., 25c; pt., 40c; by mail, postpaid. qt., 50c; 4 qts., $1.60; peck, $3.00
