EARLIEST I3IPROVED ROUND POD VALENTINE. — After all, 

 the Valentine Bean, although many years old, is still the best early dwarf 

 green pod bean to be had, no matter what claims may be made to the con- 

 trary bv varioii* seedsmen, who may be interested in pushing some particu- 

 lai \aiiet\ I ha^ e examined in all sections of the country beans said to be 

 eqinlh is good as the \ alentine, but on looking into the matter, I have not 

 as \ Lt been able to hnd the superioi of this improved Valentine, which I 

 take iiltasuie m otTeiing m> customeis ior a period of almost ten years I 

 hi\eleen breeding up the old ^ alentine, until to-day in the improved 

 stiam I offer I ha\e a bean that is fiilh ten days earlier than the old Valen- 

 tine, with full, louud nieit\ pods, that when placed on sale in the market or 

 on the table, alwa^s excite fa\oiable comment, on account of the beauty of 

 the pods oi their tender and sui)eiioi flavor. They are often ready to 

 PR k from ^3 to i3 da^s fiom time of planting. I have not, I know, made a 

 mist ike m g\\ ing a w hole page to this, the best of green podded snap shorts,

 unextelled, and no leadei will make a mistake by including both varieties

MAULE'S BUTTER V\ AX. During the last few years there has been 

 quite << uunibLi of ^\axBe^ns biought before the notice of the American 

 publu, so many \aiieiies, in f ict, that I certainly would have hesitated 

 ibout idding another to the aliead\ long list. For the last Ave years, how 

 t-\ei I h i\e been steadih booming Butter Wax as the best of all. Butter 

 \\ ax IS unquestionabh the earliest W ax Bean, while its beautiful, trans 

 piient golden \ ellow pods aVsoiuteU contain more meat than any othfr 

 \ iiiet\ ^hedl^ beans are w hit e, with au irregular brown eye, as it comes 

 from an accidental tioss between the Golden Wax and Dwarf Black Wax 

 Being entiieU stiinglc-s, Maule s Buttei Wax can be used as a strint, 

 beau until nearly ripe , m fart, longei than any other sort, anci is less liable 

 lo sDot than anj other Four caidmal points may be given why it should 

 he id the li=t of all other ^\ ax \aricties Fust, quality, which is unexcelled 

 Second, stiiuglessness, as the\ are absolutely without strings. Third, earli 

 ne--s foi m this lespect the\ aie not sui passed by any other wax bean in 

 culiuation Bouith, 'olid me it, for a pith\ or hollow pod cannot be found. 

 Maule s Butter Wax with Da\is Kidnej Wax make a pair impossible for 

 any seedsin in m \meiica to beat Ptc ket, 10 cts.; pint, SO cts.; quart, .50 cts.
