Johnson & Stokes' Specialties for Market Gardeners. 



Uew Impraved Raund Fad Extra Early Red Valentine. 



This is unquestionably the very best and earliest green snap-short bean for the market gardener. 

 It is at least ten days earlier than the Early Red Valentine, and is usually ready to pick thirty-five to 

 forty days from the time of planting. The habit of the vine is dwarf, the pods are smooth, round, 

 stringless and very thickly set, remaining green and tender a long time after they are fit to pull. The 

 strain we offer will be found unusually prolific, and to hold the pods well up from the ground. Vines 

 very uniform, making little or no top growth, setting its fruit all low on the bush, ripening very uni- 

 formly, and producing enormously. Per qt., 25c.; peck, f i.oo ; bush., |;4.oo ; 10 bush., I35.00. 



Improved Rust Franf Balden Wax Bean. 



NOAV OFFERED FOR THE FIRST TIME. 



From our trials of this splendid new variety, which is accurately shown in the above illustration, we 

 believe that it must, when fully known, entirely take the place of the well-known Golden Wax. It 

 originated with Mr. Fred. Williams, one of the largest bean growers of New York State and from whom 

 we have obtained our seed. Descriptive of this new bean, we can hardly do better than quote the 

 following, from a letter written us by Mr. Williams, October 9, 1889 : 



"The Improved Rust Proof Golden Wax is the handsomest and hardiest of all the Wax Beans. 

 The pods are straight, long, and thicker than the Golden Wax, much superior in quality and absolutely 

 rust proof. It outyielded the Golden Wax two to one this season, and I think it will become the most 

 popular of all Wax Beans." 



Every claim made in the above was fully substantiated the past seasons, not only in our own trials 

 but in those made by several of our best market gardeners to whom we gave it out for trial last spring. 

 We hope no progressive gardener will omit planting it this season. Perqt., 35c.; peck, $2.25 ; bush.,|8.oo. 



Yaaemite Mammpth "HTax Bush Bean. 



This splendid new bean has been so named on account of its enormous size. The pods frequently 

 attain a length of ten inches, with the thickness of a man's finger. The pods are nearly all solid pulp, 

 the seeds being very small, when the pods are fit for use. Pods are a rich golden color and absolutely 

 stringless, cooking tender and delicious. It is enormously productive, as many as fifty of its monster 

 pods having been counted on one bush. Pkt., loc; Yz pint, 60c.; pint, $1.00 ; qt., $1.50.
