HOPKIN'S EARLIEST RED VALENTINE BEANS. Are the earliest and most prolific round green podded Beans that have ever 

 been placed in the grower's hands. We secured this very superior stock from a farmer in the State of New York, who, after years 

 of greatest effort and determination, produced what has been since termed Hopkin's Valentines. It comes into bearing earlier than 

 the old stock of Valentines, is a wonderful producer and a perfect shipper. It will remain in perfect condition for nearly two 

 weeks after picking. Packet. 15 cents; quart. 25 cents; gallon 70 cents; peck, $1-25; bushel, $4.50.
