NEM CIMNT GREEN POD STRINGLESS 

 ^HLGNTINS B6HN 



The Round Pod Valentine Bean has long been one of the most popular with market gardeners ; 

 but, outside of improving slightly the existing type, nothing has been achieved to materially better it. 

 We were, therefore, much gratified in being able to offer, in the spring of 1898, for the first time, this 

 distinct new cross-bred variety as one possessing all the merits of the old favorite, which is one of its 

 parents, and having, in addition, the following points, which enhance its value : 



It is ready for market with a more prolific crop of pods a week earlier. 

 * The pods are one=third larger, averaging five to six inches in leng^th. 



They are always absolutely stringless, round, full and fleshy. 

 It is more prolific and surpasses others in crispness and flavor. 



No market or family gardener can afi"ord to miss planting the New Giant Valentine in 1900. It ie 

 the best Dwarf Green Podded Snap Short ever ofl'ered, and is pronounced a wonder wherever it has 

 been tried. Last season the demand was so great that we were sold out of this bean before the season 

 ■waa half over. Prices, large pkt,, 10c. ; pint, 35c.; qt., 60c., by mail, postage paid ; by express or freight. 

 <lt.,45c.; 2 qts.. SOc; peck, $2.50; bush., $9.W.
