Stokes Seeds Are Standard 



Mary Washington is by 

 fax the most satisfactory 

 all-purpose variety 



Asparagus, Mary Washington 



NORTHERN EUROPE 



Very large, productive, and rust-resistant. 

 The most profitable Asparagus 



Twelve years ago our firm offered the original Wash- 

 ington stock. When the superiority of the Mary 

 Washington strain, named in honor of George Wash- 

 ington's mother, was established we were among the 

 first to ofi"er it. Since that time we have done an in- 

 creasing volume of business with large Asparagus 

 growers, and, in fine with our policy of carrying only 

 the best, we have discarded all other types. In view of 

 1 the prevalence of rust, it is utter folly to plant ad- 

 ditional acreage with the old susceptible varieties.

BEANS 



SOUTH AMERICA 



Stringless Black Valentine 



A completely stringless edition of Black Valentine, and fast 

 replacing that variety 



Days to maturity, 45. This variety has already passed the 

 experimental stage. It is a cross between the old Black Valentine 

 and Pencil-pod Wax. As its name implies, it is stringless. In ap- 

 pearance it resembles very much the original, except that the 

 pods are perhaps slightly more curved. It will prove dependable 

 in cold, dry, or wet seasons. The Bean is of delicious flavor and, 

 in our opinion, will replace Black Valentine. 



Price, Postpaid: Vilb. 15 cts.; Vzlh. 25 cts.; lb. 40 cts.; 5 lbs. 

 at 35 cts. per lb.

Tendergreen Beans 



Early. Fine flavor. Unusually prolific. 

 Completely stringless 



Days to maturity, 42. This new and delicious Snap Bean is a 

 valuable acquisition. It combines unusual vigor with excep- 

 tional table quality. The long, green, straight pods are round 

 like a pencil, of very high flavor and of attractive light green 

 color. We believe this new variety is destined to take an 

 important place in private and commercial Bean production.
