IMPEOVED BOUND POD EXTRA EARLY VALENTINE BEAN. 



NEW IMPKOVED ROUND POD EXTRA EARLY 

 t BED VALENTINE. This is unquestionably the very best 

 nnd earliest green snap-short bean for the market gardener. 

 It is at lea-stten days earlier than the Early Red Valentine, 

 and ^s 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, stringles.s and very thickly set, remaining 

 green and tender a long time after they are fit to pull. The 

 strain we offer will lie found unusually prolific, and to hold 

 the pods well up from the ground. Vines very uniform, 

 making little orno top growth, setting its fruit all low on the 

 bush, ripening very uniformly, and producing enormously.

 press, pint, 17c.; qt., 30c.; peek, $1.25; bush., $4..50.
