NEW UNION TTHITE VALENTINE. This variety 

 is a complete union of all qualities necessary to make a 

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

 dwarfer habit than the old Wliite Valentine, the pods being 

 rounder, smoother, plumper, more meaty, and entirely 

 stringless. 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., 10c.; pint, 25c.; qt., 50c.; 

 peck, SI .75 ; bush. , $fi.50. 



NEAV IMPROVED ROUND POD EXTRA EARLY

 and earliest green snap-short bean. It is at least ten days 

 earlier than the Early Red Valentine, and is usually ready 

 to pick tliirty-five to forty days from tlie time of planting. 

 The vine is dwarf, the pods are smooth, round, stringless and 

 very tliickly set, remaining green and tender a long time 

 after they are fit to pull. Vines, very uniform, making little 

 or no top growth, and producing enormously. Pkt., 10c

 earlier, or about the time the ordinary Refugee is in flower.

IMPROVED RT3ST-PROOP GOLDEN WAX BEAN. 



IMPROVED RUST-PROOF GOLDEN WAX. 



Grennell's Strain. {See illuslralion.) From our own crops 

 of this splendid new variety, and the high opinions of gar- 

 deners who have thus far grown it, we believe that it must 

 eventually take the place of the well-known Golden Wax, 

 which has for many years been a great favorite with both 

 market gaideners and private planters. It originated with 

 Mr. W. H. Grennell, a large bean grower ofNew York State, 

 ancl from whom we originally obtained our seed. Itis among 

 the earliest and hardiest of all the Wax Beans. Thepodsare 

 straight, long and thickerthan the Golden Wax, much supe- 

 rior in quality and absolutely rust-proof. On our Jefferson 

 County Bean Farm, the past two seasons, it has outyielded 

 theGcilden Wax two to one. Pkt., lOc; pint, 25c.; qt., 50c.;

 less, cooking tender and delicious. It is enormously produc- 

 tive, fiflv of its monster pods having been counted on one
