Extra Early Round Pod Red Valentine 



^T/Hff^''^''' 



Extra Early Round Pod 

 Red Valentine 



For snaj)s there 

 is nothing su- 

 perior to this variety among the green podded sorts and many prefer it to the 

 wax varieties. Vine erect, with dark green leaves: pods medium 

 length, curved, cyhndrical. Avith crease in back, very fleshy, crisp and tender: 

 seed long, of medium size and unsymmetrical in '^shape, 

 pink, marbled Avith red. Lack of symmetry in the seed 

 of this variety is an indication of superior fleshiness and 

 good quality in the pods. We know of no stock of Red 

 Valentine which can be compared with that we ofl:er in 

 uniformly high quality of pod. We have carefully tested 

 both in trials and in large fields many different strains of Valen- 

 tine offered under slightly varying "names, each claiming to be a 

 great and distinct improvement and have found none that 

 K compared with our stock which 



l^j. combmes in the highest degree all the good qualities
