BEST OF ALL. 
EARLIEST IMPROVED ROUND POD VWALEN- 
TINE.—My improved strain of this famous old reliable 
green podded bush bean is ready for the basket in 35 to 38 
days. As now perfected it has full, meaty pods, which pos- 
sess beauty, tenderness and superior flavor. It is an ideal 
snap short bean, and one that always sells well in the mar- 
ket. My Earliest Improved is now the most prolific and 
rofitable bean of its kind on the American market.

BEST OF ALL. — This green pod bean is very largely 
grown in the South, in the vicinity of New Orleans and else- 
where, and is also grown with success and profit in more 
northern latitudes. It has very long, glossy pods, almost 
twice the length of the old Valentine. The pods are fleshy, 
succulent, stringless and of good flavor. It is medium 
early and very prolific. Packet, 10 cents; pint, 25 cents; 
quart, 40 cents, postpaid. Peck, $1.25. 
IMPROVED EARLY YELLOW SIX WEEKS.—A 
standard favorite variety. The pods are green. The seeds, 
when fully ripe, are yellow, whence the name. It is string- 
less until the pod attains full size. Pod thick and meaty.
