BEANS-Green Podded Dwarf or Bush Beans 



Hopkins Improved Red Valentine. 



Extra Early Red Valentine. — The standard 

 green podded Dwarf Snap Bean, for the 

 trucker and shipper, it being the surest crop- 

 per of any vine erect, with coarse, dark- 

 green leaves; pods medium size and very 

 tender, of dark-green color; fully ten days 

 earlier than the Early Red Valentine, and is 

 usually ready to pick in forty-five days from 

 time of planting; very hardy and productive. 

 We know of no stock of Red Valentine which 

 can be compared with that we offer. Qt. 20c. ; 

 pk. $1.25; bush. $4.50. 



Hopkins Improved Red Valentine. — This 

 strain is an improvement over the Extra 

 Early Red Valentine, for, while retaining all 

 the best qualities of this sort, it produces 

 pods fully ten per cent, larger, which assures 

 a larger crop. Vines very uniform, making 

 little or no top growth. The seed is long, 

 of medium size and unsymmetrical in shape; 

 the color is very distinct, pink marbled with 

 deep red. It is a cut short, round podded, 

 green sort, of fine quality, and one of the best 

 varieties for market gardeners and shippers. 

 Qt. 20c. ; pk. $1.25 ; bush. $4.50. 



Black Valentine, New Early May Queen. — 

 Possesses all the merits of the Red Valentine, 

 and in addition has other valuable points. 

 The pod is fully one-third logger than the 

 Red Valentine and is perfectly round and 

 straight; of a beautiful green color. It is 

 suitable for early and late planting. Qt. 30c. ; 

 pk. $2.00; bush. $7.00. 



Extra Early Refugee.— The pods are fleshy 

 and of fine quality ; very hardy. Qt. 20c. ; pk. 

 $1.00; bush. $3.75. 



One quart will plant 100 feet of drill; 1 to 1Y2 bushels to 

 the acre. 



Plant as soon as the ground is warm and dry in drills 

 two and one-half feet apart, and drop the beans three 

 inches apart. For a succession sow every three weeks 

 until the 15th of August. Hoe often, but never when 

 wet ith dew or rain, as earth will rust the leaves and 

 injure the crop. 



Burpee's Stringless Green-Pod. — A very early variety, 

 having long, straight, round and fleshy pods, free from 

 strings. The dry beans are oval, of a chocolate brown 

 color. Qt. 30c; pk. $1.75; bush. $6.00. 



Giant Stringless Green-Pod. — This has a much 

 larger pod than Burpee's Stringless, or about one-third 

 larger than the Valentine — average five inches long. 

 Full and fleshy, extremely crisp and absolutely string- 

 less ; very early and prolific. Qt. 30c. ; pk. $1.75 ; bush. 

 $6.00. 



New Bountiful — A new green-pod Bush Bean, which 

 comes into bearing very early and continues almost 

 throughout the season. Pods beautiful rich green, very 

 thick, broad, long and uniform; meaty, tender, fine 

 quality; absolutely stringless; good shell bean for win- 

 ter use. A splendid market variety. Qrt. 25c. ; pck. 

 $1.75 ; bush. $5.00. 



(New) Stringless Cylinder Podded Refugee. — This new 

 variety, offered to the trade for the first time, is a suc- 

 cessful cross between the Schuyler's Wax and Refugee, 

 retaining all the fine crisp and succulent qualities of the 

 former and the hardness and productiveness of the latter. 

 The long round stringless pods, which are entirely free 

 from rust, will make them a favorite with the trucker 

 and canner. Pint 20c; qrt. 35c; pck. $2.50.
