-pj -j , ^ -i TTT >J This is an ideal Snap Bean. Pods are 4}4 inches long, soft green, perfectly straight and round. 



.DU.C.KD6G S HiPj.T I V* OUClGr Free from that wooly inner lining of tough skin which we associate with old beans; what little 



•J string exists is not developed until pod is quite old. B'lavor is most delicious; it has the pecu- 



liarity of preserving its delicate color almost intact when prepared for the table. Remarkably early, ready for use four days in advance of any variety of 

 merit. Its bearing qualities are unexcelled, and it matures its crop very regularly, even under adverse conditions. pt. 15c; pt. 25c; qt. 40c 



N©W Dwarf Horticultural— Vines compact, upright and very productive. Pods medium length, cylindrical and curved, with splashes of bright 

 red on a yellowish ground. The ripe Beans are large, plump, oval and neatly covered with splashes of bright red. Oneof the best varieties for use shelled 

 green, and when in this condition the Beans are very large, easily shelled and about equal to the Lima in quality. % pt. 10c; pt. 18c; qt. 35c 



Early RKok&wftc— This sort is so much hardier than the others that it can be planted earlier, furnishing Beans fit for use before any other kind. 

 Vines large and stout, with large leaves which will stand a slight frost. Blossoms large, purple; pods long, straight, with long tapering point. Beans long, 

 kidnev-shaped. variegated with drab, purple, brown. In favor for forcing; matures quickly, carries good weight of long, large pods, J . pt- 10c;

Hest of All — This vine is very hardy, vigorous and healthy, producing an abundance of very straight, handsome pods, which, when fit for use as 

 snaps, are round, very brittle and of a peculiar deep green color. As the pods mature they become lighter in color and splashed with bright red. When 

 fit for use as green shelled, the Beans are large, mottled with red; very tender and of t he best quality. The dry Beans are mottled in two shades of red. 

 One of the hardiest a;id be-t of all. *.j pt. 10c; pt. 18c: qt. 35c

New AVhit** Valentine — This variety presents improvements of a different kind entirely, and at the same time is distinctly superior to its parent 

 the Early Red Valentine. The plant is considerably larger than the Karly Valentine, though it may be planted at exactly the same distance. It preserves 

 all the characteristics of its parent, particularly in the absence of stringiness. The pods are borne in enormous quantities close to the center of the plant, 

 and are not only longer, but much thicker and more meaty than any of this type. Another advantage which will recommend it to all is that the Beans 

 retain their tenderness much longer than any other variety we know of. M pt. 12c; pt. J55Jc*; qt. 35c

leaves and large white blossoms. Pods medium length, curved, cylindrical, with crease in back; very fleshy, crisp and tender. Beans medium size, Jong, 

 irregular, pink, marbled with red. Among green podded varieties there is none, we think, that can compare with our stock of Valentine in fleshiness and 

 high quality of pod. Many different strains cf Valentines are offered under slightly varying names, each claiming to be a great and distinct improvement. 

 We have carefully examined them all, both in trial and large yield, and have found none which we were willing to substitute for our stock, which combines 

 all the good qualities. Hi pt. 12c; pt. 20c; qt. 35c 



Meritorious Green-Podded Bush Beans 



New Stringless Green Pod— Is most happily named, as it is 

 quite unique — the only absolutely stringless green-podded bean in t he 

 market. Pod is round, full, larger and srraighter than those of most 

 varieties. Quality is most superior. The Michigan State Agricultural 

 College Experiment Station writes: "Plants of medium growth. Pod 4 1 ; 

 to 5H inches long, nearly round, slightly curved, light green, flesh tender 

 and of best quality. Pods remain long in edible condition; even when the 

 beans are large, the pods are not stringy. Valuable for good quality and 

 lack of stringiness." You will make no mistake by planting this splendid 

 new variety either for family or market purposes. K pt. 12c; pt. 

 20c; qt. 35c 



New Karly Round Pod Yellow Six Weeks— White this 

 variety does not differ from the Early Long Yellow Six Weeks in size or 

 general appearance of the vine, the pods are shorter, very much thicker, 

 more fleshy and quite stringless. Moreover, while retaining the vigor and 

 hardiness of the old sort, it is fully one week earlier. Dry Hean color of 

 ordinary Six Weeks, but much shorter. ?; pt. 1 Oc; pt. 18c; qt. .'55c
