Henderson’s Earliest Red Valentine. 
This variety is at least 10 days earlier than the Early Red Valentine, and is usually ready to

way from the Early Red 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 
Rhode Island Dwarf Caseknife. A continual bearer during 
10 days earlier than any other stock. Sold only in sealed packages. (See cut.)
