CLEVELAND’S IMPROVED VALENTINE. 
—I can with confidence recommend this bean as a 
decided improvement on that old favorite among 
= = 
For the last two years the demand for this new 
field bean has been SIMPLY ASTONISHING. 
It grows about twenty inches high, branching out 
in all directions, AND IS THE MOST PROLIFIC 
VARIETY IN CULTIVATION. Yields as high 
as 150 to 250 pods to the vine and 1175 beans 
have been counted from a single hill. Ona 
small plot they have yielded 116 bushels, and 60 
bushels per aere is no uncommon yield. It is very 
white, resembling thecommon Navy Bean some- 
what, but cooks in less time and is of a better flavor. 
Plant in rows 2 to 24% feet apart and 15 to 20 inches 
apartin the row. Don’tlet them crowd each other. 
Half a pint will make over 1100 hills. ‘They are 
certainly worthy of a trial, but we only offer 
them in small quantities until entirely assured of 
their permanent value. Some planting them have 
not found them come up to their expectations, but 
others return the most enthusiastic reports, 
one man counting almost 500 pods on one vine. We 
give below a few reports received from those who 
Saat seed of us last Spring. FROM THESE

PROVED VALENTINE IS TEN DAYS 
EARLIER THAN THE REGULAR ROUND 
POD VALENTINE. Market gardeners please 
consider this. Then consider that it is more prolific 
and still retains in the greatest perfection all the 
points that have made theEarly Red Valentine so 
popular. Pods are remarkably tender and fleshy 
and remain an unusual time on the plants without 
becoming hard. Pkt., 15 cts.; pint, postpaid, 45cts.;

C. W. Friend, Watson, Ind. ‘“‘The Tree Bean beats 
anything in the bean line Eeversaw. I planted them 
244 feet in rows by 18 inchesin the rows. They are a 
solid mat. I never saw so largea bush; I counted 156 
pods on one. I believe ifthey had been planted farther 
apart, it would have been better.” 
Geo. H. Thomas, Marstons Mills, Mass. ““New Pro- 
lific Tree Bean is all you claim it to be; itis one of the 
best beans I ever raised, shall keep all of the seed to 
plant next year. Silver King beats anything I ever 
saw. Wish I had got a pound of seed. ‘I wanted to 
save some. so I could send you a big one, but the folks 
Kept coming after them, so I sold them all.” 
Louis D. Parkhurst, Danielsonville, Conn. “I 
think the New Prolific Tree Bean the best [ever raised. 
The White Binesaae Squash, I think one of the best 
in eultivation, both for productiveness, superior flavor, 
gd. unusually thick flesh, I pronounce it simply 
perfect.’
