 Beans.

 not strictly a wax bean. Very desirable for 

 snaps or pickles. Vines large, spreading, 

 very productive, baviag many runners, pro- 

 ducing pods in pairs throughout their whole 

 length. Blossoms small, yellowish-white; 

 pods greenish-white, short, 

 curved, round or thicker than 

 wide,with crease in the back, 

 very fleshy and brittle. Ripe 

 beans small, oval, white.

SCARLET FLAGEOLET 



WAX. This variety seems to 

 do especially well at the 

 South, and is a favorite with 

 many truckers. The large, 

 strong growing and erect 

 vines produce very long, flat, 

 rather coarse,but beautifully 

 wax-like pods, which though 

 often ciu-ved and twisted, are 

 always handsome. Dry 

 beans large, flat, bright red.

VIOLET FLAGEOLET WAX. 



Known also as "Perfection Wax." 

 Plant very large, with large, light 

 green leaves. Pods very long and 

 large, being longer than those of the 

 Scarlet Flageolet Wax, also more 

 twisted. When well grown it is one of 

 the most showy of wax beans. The 

 pods are a little later in coming into 

 use than the Scarlet Flageolet.

EXTRA EARLY REFUGEE. The earliest of the green podded kinds furnishing a 

 fleshy pod of fine quality. The vines are a little smaller and more upright growing and 

 the leaves distinctly lighter colored than those of the late Refugee, though the dry beans 

 are of the same shape and color. Our stock has been selected with great care and is ex- 

 tremely imiform, all the vines ripening their pods well together and long before those of 

 the common Refugee are usable. Pkt. 10c; Pt. 15c; Qt. 20c; 4 Qts. 60c; Bushel $3.00 



Extra Early Round Pod Red Valentine 



For snaps there is nothing superior to this 

 variety among the green podded sorts, and many 

 prefer it to the wax varieties. 



Vine erect, with coarse, dark green leaves, and large, 

 white blossoms; pods medium length, curved, cylin- 

 drical, with crease in back, very fleshy, crisp and ten- 

 der; beans medium sized, long, 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 of Valentine are offered 

 under slightly varying names, each claiming to be 

 a great and distinct improvement. We have care- 

 fully examined them all, both in trials and in large 

 yields, and have found none that we are Tvihing 

 to substitute for our old stock, which combines in 

 a high degree all the good qualities of the sort.

BEST OP ALL. The hardy, vigorous 

 I vine produces an abundance of very 

 k straight, handsome pods which, when fit 

 " for use as snaps, are very brittle 

 and of a peculiar deep green color. V 

 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 fine quality. 

 The dry beans are mottled in two shades 

 of red. One of the hardiest and best of the 

 green podded varieties. Pkt. 10c; Pt. 15c; 

 Qt. 20c; 4 Qts. 60c; Bushel $3.00 

 Best of all Beans.
