 habit of vine very productive. Q.t. 30c. Pk. $1.75.

 and from its earliness is almost certain to produce a crop, no matter how 

 unfavorable the season. Is rapidly becoming a favorite sort, as it ma- 

 tures e<iually early with the Red Valentine, and has that beautiful silvery 

 green color in the pods that is so much desired. Q.t. 25c. Pk. $1.50.

 tered location.
