NEW UNION WHITE VALENTINE. This variety 

 is a complete union of all qualities necessary to make a 

 dwarf green-pod bean perfect. It is much earlier and of a 

 dwarfer habit than the old White Valentine, the pods being 

 rounder, smootlier, plumper, more meaty and entirely 

 Btringless. It possesses the peculiar and valuable quality of 

 remaining in a tender cooking condition longer than any 

 other green-podded variety. This, together with its ex- 

 treme earliness, makes it an exceedingly valuable sort for 

 spring or fall planting. The beans, when ripe, are pure 

 white, thus •enabling the grower to sell them as shelled 

 beans at a profitable figure. Pkt., lOc; pint, 25c.; qt., 50c.;
