Stringless Black Valentine is one of the most delicious table varieties 

 ever introduced 



No. 5, Stringless Black Valentine 



A completely stringless edition of Black Valentine 

 and now largely replacing that variety 



Days to maturity, 48. Associated Seed Growers are sponsors for this new 

 variety which came from their breeding-grounds in Idaho in 1930. It is the 

 result of a cross between Pencil-pod Wax and Black Valentine. The improve- 

 ment as here offered is due to the elimination of the stringy character of Black 

 Valentine. In season it is the same as that variety and is well adapted for 

 market-garden use and for early shipping. The plant is large, erect, and pro- 

 lific. Its very attractive oval pods are nearly straight, dark green in color and 

 of fine quality and delicate flavor. It can be shipped long distances. The seed 

 is jet-black. This was originally offered as Asgrow Valentine.

No. 6. Fordhook Bush Lima 



The most popular of all Dwarf Lima Beans, prolific, easily grown and 

 usually profitable 



Days to maturity, 75. This Bean was discovered by Henry Fish of Santa 

 Barbara County, California. He found it as a single plant sport in a field of 

 Challenger Pole Limas in 1903. The selection was later developed by Burpee 

 who introduced it in 1907. It is generally conceded to be a heavier cropper 

 than the Dreer Lima. This factor, together with the fact that it is compara- 

 tively free from prostrate growth, has given it an important place in the vege- 

 table industry. It is decidedly upright and erect and is almost entirely free 

 from the willowy runners and side branches characteristic of other varieties. 

 The pods and seeds are inclined to be slightly larger and very plump. All of 

 these points contribute to the prominent position now occupied by the variety. 

 Color of seed greenish cream.
