EXTRA EARLY ROUND 
POD VALE did A oe io 
RPS ten days earlier than the old Red Val- 
Ss entine, and in it we have probably the 
best green podded variety for market 
, gardeners, as it combines earliness, 
\— productiveness, hardiness, together 
with a desirable size and shape. It is 
B.. remarkably prolific ; pods being tender 
& and fleshy and remaining on the plants 
SS along time before becoming hard; in 
fact, in this respect it is superior to 
S almost every other sort. Pkt., 10 cts.; 
pint, 25 cts.; quart, 45 cts.; post-paid. 
IMPROVED EARLY YEL- 
LOW SIX WEEKS.—After the 
Valentine, I believe this Bean is the 
next best extra early green pod. It is 
absolutely stringless until it attains full 
size. It is extra early, very productive, 
and always makes a good, thick, meaty

FE tion. I regret I have no seed to offer 
pod. Pkt.,10c.; pt., 25¢.; qt.,45c, postpaid. EXTRA Sess ROUND Pop 
VALENTINE. PEt. 10 cts. 
Z ROUND PODDED REFU- 
\ GEE.—This old well-known variety 
has lately been greatly improyed by 
one of our most celebrated bean grow- 
ers. It is somewhat later than either 
of the above, but still it is wonderfully 
prolific, of excellent shape, and in 
every way desirable ; has always been 
largely grown for pickling. Pkt., 10 cts.; 
pint, 25 cts.; quart, 45 cts., post-paid. 
EARLY MOHAWK.—A hardy, 
early sort,of old-established reputation. 
A ~ . 4 el 5 - Pkt., 10 ets.; pint, 25 cts.; quart, 45 cts. 
A SECTION OF MY TRIAL GROUNDS. BEST OF ALL.—Pods are long, 
very fleshy, succulent and stringless, 
of good flavor. They are produced 
medium early and abundantly. Market 
gardeners in the neighborhood of New 
Orleans have long considered them 
the best ofall. Although only known 
in the North to a limited extent, all 
planting them agree they well deserve 
the name. Pkt., 10e.; pt., 25c.; qt., 45¢e. 
WHITE KIDNEY.— Popular 
either green or ripe, and isone of the 
very best for Winter use. Pkt., 10 
cts.; pt., 25 cts.; qt., 45 cts. 
LARGE WHITE MAR- 
ROWFAT.—This has_ always 
been a popular variety in field cul- 
ture, and a most profitable market 
sort. Pkt., 10c.; pt., 25¢.; qt., 45c. 
PROLIFIC TREE,—This 
is a small, very white bean, resem- 
bling the old-fashioned Navy 
Bean, but cooks in Jess time and isi 
of better flavor. They should be 
planted in rows 214 feet apart, andq 
20 inches apart in the rows, s0 as 
to secure a large yield ; they should 2 
not be allowed to crowd each g@g 
other. In competition for a $25™23 
premium, M. B. Puryear, Linwood, 
Ark., raised a vine containing -711 
pods. Mr. Thompson, of North 
Andover, Mass., a plant containing 
612 pods. From this statement some 
idea can be had of their wonderful 
productiveness. Pkt. 10 cts.: pint, 
25 ets.; quart, 45 cts., postpaid.
