Hopkins' Improved Ketl Valentine. 



CJreen Podded Varieties. 



Hopkins' Imp. Red Valentine.— This strain is 

 an improvement over the Improved Red Valentine, for 

 while retaining all the best qualities of this sort, it is earlier 

 and more productive. Vines very uniform, making little or 

 no top growth. It is a cut-short, round-podded green sort, 

 of fine quality and flavor, and one of the best sorts in culti- 

 vation for market gardener and shipper. Quart, 20c.; peck 

 $1.00: bush., $3.75. 



Early Ked Valentine.— The old standard variety; 

 early round pods and very prolific. Quart, 30c; peck, 90c; 

 bush., $3.50. 



White Valentine.— The seed of this Bean being 

 white gives it additional value, as it can be used green as a 

 snap bean or as a winter shell bean. Quart, 20c • peck 

 $1.00; bush., $4.00. 



F-xtra Early Refugee.— The earliest of the green- 

 podded kinds, furnishing a fleshy pod of fine quality. The 

 vines are a little smaller and more upright growing and 

 the leaves distinctly lighter colored than those of the Late 

 Refugee, though the dry beans are of the same shape and 

 color. Quart, 20c.; peck, $1.00; bush., $3.75. 



Refugee, or Thousand to One.— Maturing later 

 than Extra Early Refugee, with larger foliage; very prolific 

 Quart, 20; peck, $1.00; bush., $3.75. 



New Longfellow. —This is a remarkably early 

 String Bean. The pods are G'/z inches long, pale soft green 

 in color, perfectly straight and round. The flavor is very 

 delicious, and retains its beautiful color almost intact when 

 prepared for the table. Quart, 20c.; peck, $1.25; bush., 

 $4.50. Crop very short. 



Dwarf Horticultural, or Cherry.- Pods are of 



medium length, slightly curved or sickle-shaped, and when 

 nearly developed are freely splashed with bright red on the 

 skin. It is one of the best varieties to grow for green shell- 

 beans in cool locations where the Limas do not succeed. 

 The green beans are of good size, tender and of fine flavor; 

 they are highly esteemed when cooked with sweet corn as 

 Succotash. The surplus beans not needed for use during the 

 summer make excellent soup or baking beans for winter. 

 Quart, 20c.; peck, $1.10; bush, $4.00. 



Best of All.— Pods long, very fleshy, succulent,, 

 stringless and rich in flavor; are produced early and abund- 

 antly; one of the most valuable green-podded beans for 

 market or family use. Quart, 15c.; peck, 90c; bush., $3.25. 



The Goddard, or Boston Favorite.- Tall bush 

 or semi-running growth, eighteen inches to two feet in 

 height, producing a large crop of pods. These are flat, five 

 inches in length, one-half inch broad, with a long, slender 

 point. The pods when young are excellent for using as 

 short snap, being brittle, juicy, mild in flavor, and nearly 

 stringless. For winter use the pods should be allowed to 

 ripen on the plants. As the pods attain full size they be- 

 come thickly marked with purplish flakes. Quart 20c • 

 peck, $1.15; bush., $4.00. 



is}ax-Pod Varieties. 



The Wax-Podded Beans are highly esteemed for their mild 

 flavor and handsome appearance, Hnd by many the lighter coloring, 

 when prepared for the table, is preferred. Nearly all the varieties 

 are valuable also tor use as Winter Shell- Beans, but are not so pro- 

 ductive as other varieties offered on the next page,especially for that 

 purpose. Being more tender than the green-podded sorts they- 

 should not be planted until the trees are well out in leaf and the 

 nights quite warm. If planted too early, the growth becomes, 

 checked, and the pods are smaller and not so fine in appearance. 



Pencil-Pod Wax. — An extremely good new Bean, 

 being very early, very prolific and of excellent flavor. The 

 pods are from five to six inches long, thick, fleshy, as round 

 as a pencil and absolutely stringless. A beauty in shape 

 and color of the true waxy type. We call it the "Seek-no- 

 further" of all Wax Beans. Quart, 25c.; peck, $1.50; bus. 

 $6.00. 



Currier's Rust-Proof Golden Wax.— This va- 

 riety is one of the best Beans ever introduced, very pro- 

 ductive, with long, flat pods fully one-third larger than, 

 any other sort; earlier than any other Wax Bean known. 

 Quart, 20c.; peck, $1.50; bus., $5.50. 



Golden Wax. — Very early, tender and prolific. Pods, 

 large, creamy yellow and stringless. Quart, 20c.; peck, 

 $1.25; bush., $5.00. 



Wardwell's Kidney Wax, — Strong, upright bush 

 growth, fifteen inches in height, very productive. Pods 

 straight, fleshy, five inches in length and one-half inch 

 broad. A rich golden yellow, brittle and entirely string- 

 less, even when fullv developed, of mild flavor. Quart 

 25c ; peck, $2.00. bush., $7.00. 



Strong grower with re- 

 markable vigor and free- 

 dom from rust. Pods 

 meaty and well filled, 

 semi-round; rich yellow, fine quality, and entirely strinc- 

 less, even when large enough to shell. If pods are picked 

 as fast as formed the plant is practically everbearing until 

 frost Quart, 20c.; peck, $1.75; bus., $0.50
