\ Pride of Newton. This is a robust, 

 strong growing bean with long flat pods, 

 which are light green. It is quite early 

 and productive. The bean is similar to the 

 Yellow Six Weeks in color, but much 

 hardier. 



Early Mohawk Six Weeks. A leng 

 podded variety, and very hardy. It is used 

 to a large extent for the market for the first 

 planting; very productive. 



Early Yellow Six Weeks. This is 

 the most popular sort among market gar- 

 deners. Pods fiat and long; very good 

 bearer, but not so good for shipping as the 

 Mohawk or Valentine. 

 ^ White Kidney. A good strong grow- 

 ing variety, not much planted. 



Red Kidney. A kind largely planted 

 for the. New Orleans Market. It is a coarse 

 growing variety, and much used for shelling 

 whe'1 the pods tarn yellow, so that the 

 beans are well developed, but yet soft. 



Best of All- A variety from Germany 

 ot great merit, introduced by the late 

 Richard Frotscher. It is green podded, 

 long and succulent; very prolific and well 

 flavored. Excellent for shipping and fam- 

 ily use. Although not quite so early as 

 the Mohawk, it is of superior quality for 

 shipping, and therefore almost the only 

 kind planted here for that purpose. The 

 cut is a good representation as it grows; it 

 shows only two-thirds of its natural size. 

 Cannot be too highly recommended. 



Improved Valentine. This variety has 

 all the good qualities of the old Valentine; 

 only it is ten days earlier, a greit consider- 

 ation when planted for the market; it has 

 taken the place of the old variety of Valen- 

 tine. 



Extra Early Refugee. It is an iru- 

 provement on the well known old Refugee. 

 Vary early and prolific. Owing to its good 

 qualities it has become a farorite with 

 market gardeners for shipping. Pods 

 round and fleshv.
