HENDERSON'S EARLIEST RED VALENTINE. This variety is at least 10 days earlier 

 than the Early Eed Valentine, and is usually ready to pick in 45 days from time of planting. 

 On account of its great earliness it is largely grown by market gardeners, but, except in the 

 characteristic of extreme earliness, it differs in no other way from the Early Eed Valentine 

 described below. By a competitive test made by one of the highest authorities on the subject in this 

 country, Henderson's Earliest Red Valentine was proven to be 10 days earlier than any other stock. 

 Sold only in sealed packages. (See cut.) 10c. % pt., 20c. pt., 30c. qt., $1.75 peck, $5.00 bush. 



LONGFELLOW. (See Novelties and color edplate, pages 10 & 11.) 15c. pkt.,4 pkts. 50c. , 10 pkts. $1.00. 



ROUND EARLY SIX WEEKS. A decided acquisition, being an improved form of the old 

 favorite Long Yellow Six Weeks. It is slightly shorter in the pod but round, and is almost 

 destitute of string at all stages of growth. We can recommend it either as a string or 

 shelled bean. 10c. y n pt., 15c. pt., 25c. qt., $1.25 peck, $4.50 bush. 



RHODE ISLAND DWARF CASEKNIFE. A continual bearer during the summer. Ex- 

 ceedingly early, and when young the beans are tender and of very fine flavor. 10c. ^o pt., 

 20c. pt., 30c. qt., $1.75 peck, $6.00 bush. 



REFUGEE, OR THOUSAND TO ONE. A very productive medium or late variety. The 

 young pods are tender and of fine flavor. Is extensively grown for pickling. Seeds dull 

 yellow speckled with purple. 10c. ^ pt., 15c. pt., 25c. qt., $1.25 peck, $4.25 bush. 



LONG YELLOW SIX WEEKS. Early, very productive and of excellent quality. Pods 

 often eight inches long. Seeds, when ripe, yellow or dun color. 10c. % pt., 15c. pt., 25c. qt.,

 ripe, salmon speckled with purplish rose. 10c. % pt., 15c. pt., 25c. qt., $1.25 peck, $4.25 bush. 



Dwarf Horticultural. A bush variety of the well-known Horticultural Pole Bean. 10c. % pt., 

 15c. pt., 25c. qt., $1.25 peck, $4.25 bush. 



EXTRA EARLY REFUGEE. It is similar in every respect to the ordinary Refugee, but is 

 nearly two weeks earlier. It is enormously prolific, and from its earliness is almost certain 

 to produce a crop, no matter how unfavorable the season. The favorite sort with Southern 

 truckers and planters as it matures equally early with the Eed Valentine, and has that beau- 

 tiful silvery green color in the pods that is so much desired. In 

 quality it is unexcelled, being exceptionally free from string, and 

 meltingly tender at all stages of its growth. Our stock of this 

 variety has been specially selected and improved, and we recom- 

 mend it. 10c. % pt., 20c. pt., 30c. qt., $1.50 peck, $5.00 bush. 



EARLY MOHAWK. Very early and will stand more cold than 

 most of the bush varieties. This variety is largely grown in the 

 Southern States for Northern markets. The pods are from five 

 to six inches long ; the seeds, when ripe, drab with purple spots. 



10c. % pt., 15c. pt., 25c. qt., $1.25 peck, $4.25 bush. 



NEW G^EEfi BUSH BERN, 



"Flageolet "Victoria." 



It is a giant among green podded Bush Beans, forming a large, 

 robust plant, covered with long, thick, flat pods somewhat similar 

 in shape to the well-known Mohawk, but nearly twice as large, fre- 

 quently measuring nine to ten inches in length by three-quarters 

 p of an inch wide and one-half inch thick. It is much later than 

 the Mohawk and of similar quality. It is a good shipper, and both 

 market gardener and amateur requiring a prolific late string bean 

 growing immense, handsome pods, would do well to grow some of 

 this. The largest and most handsome green pod bean of strictly 

 bush form which we know of. 10c. pkt., 20c. % pt., 30c. pt., 50c. qt.

WHITE VALENTINE. 



$6.00 bush. 



EARLY WARWICK. This is a variety that came under our 

 notice five years ago, and which has proven itself to be one of 

 the earliest, if not the earliest Green Bush Bean that we have. 

 The pods may be said to be stringless until they reach a stage 

 at which they are past maturity for marketing. As this Bean 

 is so remarkably early and likewise suitable for shipping long 

 distances, we believe it will be found to be a valuable acquisition, 

 especially to the Southern trucker, to whom it is of the utmost 

 importance that he get something that will come in ahead of 

 existing sorts. 



It is a heavy cropper, producing an abundance of pods which 

 average about 5^ inches in length. 10c. V> pt., 20c. pt., 30c. qt., 

 $1.75 peck, $6.00 bush. 



Large White Kidney. Excellent as a shell bean. 10c. % pt, 

 15c. pt., 25c. qt., $1.25 peck, $4.25 bush. 



Early China. An old standard variety that is very early. 10c. ^ 

 pt., 15c. pt., 25c. qt., $1.25 peck, $4.25 bush. 



WHITE MARROW. The variety so extensively grown for sale 

 in the dry state. It is also valued as a string bean. Seeds are 

 ivory white. 10c. % P*-> 15c - P*-. 25 c qt., $1.25 peck, $4.25 

 bush.
