(/Hopkins' Earliest Red Valentine Beans 



ARE the earliest and most prolific round green podded Beans 

 that have ever been placed in the growers' hands. We secured 

 this very superior stock from a farmer in the State of New 

 York, by name of Hopkins, who, after years of greatest effort and 

 determination, produced what he has since termed Hopkins' Val- 

 entine. It comes into bearing earlier than the old stock of Valen- 

 tines, is a wonderful producer and a perfect shipper. It will remain 

 in a perfect condition for nearly two weeks after picking. We have 

 secured almost the entire stock of this wonderful Bean, which we 

 offer you at very reasonable prices in order to introduce and adver- 

 tise it in your locality. Pt., 15c. ftt., 2oc. Gal., 75c. Pecfe.

'XEW GIANT PODDED STRINGLESS VALENTINE. 



Is 'the earliest round podded green Bean in cultivation. Pods are 

 very large, meaty and tender. They are absolutely stringless, unus- 

 ually crisp, round, full and fleshy, a decided acquisition and one of 

 the best that has ever been placed in the hands of the grower. Our 

 stock is true, having been grown from seed obtained from the orig- 

 inator. Large truck- 

 ers and growers are 

 frequently shy of any- 

 thing new. But they - -I 

 need not have the '^ ^"'' 

 slightest apprehension 

 to plant this most val- 

 uable Bean.

BURPEE'S- NEW STRINGLESS GREEN POD BEANS.— Without 

 any exception, this Bean surpasses all other green pod Beans in its 

 crisp, tender, luscious flavor, lis handsome light green pods are ready 

 to marKet TWO WEEKS EARLIER than the earliest Red Valentine. 

 The pods are full and. fleshy, nearly straight and are produced in 

 great abundance. They remain long iu an edible condition, which 

 makes them especially desirable for the shipper and truck grower. 

 Persons who have planted it for their home kitchen garden have with 

 extreme delight widely spread its fame. Canners prefer it and will- 

 ingly pay higher prices for it in the green state, on account of saving 

 them the severe expenses of stringing. Our stock was secured from 

 the- originator, and we believe is as pure as can possibly be obtained.

DWARF HORTXCLLTLRAL, OR CHERRY BEAN— A Crop of 

 tliese Beans lias never failed to pay. — This is a broad, long, flat, 

 meaty Bean, very productive; delicious flavor. Our stock is so superior 

 that growers who have used it have found it to be such a certain 

 money-maker for them that they willingly give outside figures to 

 secure the same, often giving their order months in advance of plant- 

 season. It also makes a good dried Bean for Winter.

W^HITE NAVY, OR JUNE BEANS.— Grown largely to save as a 

 dried Bean for Winter use. It has been an excellent paying crop the 

 past several seasons.

iXTRA EARLY YfcLLOW SIX WEEKS.— A distinct and new type 

 of the grand old Bean from which it is a selection. The seed are/den-

ticaJ in color. It has the advantage of being two weeks earlier, 

 more productive apd entirely stringless, which fact makes it 

 of supreme value as a canning and market variety, causing 

 it to bring the highest market prices in the green and canned 

 state. Our stock has given splendid satisfaction.

REFUGEE, OR THOUSAND TO ONE.— An exceedingly 

 productive variety for medium and late use. The young pods 

 are tender and of fine flavor, while the color is distinct, being 

 of a silver green. In shape the pods are • round and slim. 

 This type of Bean is one of the most popular in the market 

 of all the large cities, and our strain of this variety was 

 never finer or truer than it is today.

/ LONGFELLO\*^ GREEN PODDED BUSH BEANS.— Long 

 green pods, exceedingly prolific, always solid. Delicious 

 flavor, remarkably early. We believe this Bean will please 

 the one who grows for the kitchen garden, but we cannot 

 specially recommend it to the truck grower. It would not be 

 a bad plan for him to test it in a small way. Pkt., 5c.

CULTURE OF BEANS. 



TO AFFORD a regular succession of crops throughout the 

 season, plant every two weeks, from the middle of 

 Spring to the end of Summer; but not until the soil be- 

 comes warm, as they are very sensitive to both heat and cold. 

 Plant In rows, 18 inches apart, 2 inches deep: cultivate fre- 

 quently, but only when dry, as the scattering of earth on the 

 foliage or pods, when moist, will cause them to become 

 damaged with rust. This crop will flourish between the 

 ridges of Celery, rows of Corn or Cabbage, when they are 

 first planted, as the Beans would be ready for the table 

 ijefore the other crops attain any size.
