Improved Valentine. This variety 

 has all the good qualities of the old Valen- 

 tine; only it is ten days earlier, a great con- 

 sideration when planted for the market; it 

 has taken the place of the old variety of 

 Valentine. 



Kxtra Karly Refugee. Is an im- 

 provement on the well-known old Refugee. 

 Very early and prolific. Owing to its good 

 (jualities, it has become a favorite with 

 market gardeners for shipping. Pods round 

 and fleshy. 



Improved Prolific Dwarf German 

 Wax. This variety is a great improvement 

 on its parent, the Dwarf German Wax. 

 Pods are longer and more productive. 



Grenell's Improved Rust Proof 

 Golden Wax Beans. An improvement 

 on the Dwarf Golden Wax Beans; the seed 

 is identically the same in color as that kind. 

 The pods are straight, long, and fleshier 

 than Golden Wax, superior in quality and 



positively ""Rust Proofs'''' quite an object 

 with us here in the vSouth, when we often 

 have rainy weather in the Spring, which is 

 injurious to most wax beans. The origina- 

 tor also claims it to be more prolific and har- 

 dier than the ordinary Golden Wax Bean. 



We had this bean thoroughly tried and 

 found it so superior to the ordinary Golden 

 Wax, that we have concluded to drop the 

 last named variety from our list. 



Detroit or Rust Proof Wax 

 Beans. This splendid wax bean is of re- 

 cent introduction; and is very productive 

 and hardy; pods straight, flat and some- 

 what broader than the Dwarf Golden Wax. 

 The beans, when well grown, are of a beau- 

 tiful golden yellow. The originator claims 

 that when tried side by side with the ma- 

 jority of wax beans, it had never '''spotted 

 or ritsted^^ while most of the other varieties 

 were unsalable. Heclaims it to be the best 

 bean for shipping.
