 Red Valentine 



C* . 17 l d j For snaps there is nothing superi- 



ILXtra Harly KOUnd or to this variety among the dwarf 



Pod Red Valentine gl ' een P° dded sor ts both for the 

 iroa rveu v aienune home and market garden and 



many prefer it to the wax varieties. Vines medium to large, 

 erect, with dark green leaves. Pods medium length, curved, 

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

 der. Seed long, of medium size and unsymmetrical in shape, 

 purplish pink splashed with pale buff. 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 offer in un- 

 iformly 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 compared with our stock which combines in the highest 

 degree all the good qualities of the sort. Pkt. 10c; Pt. 20c;

 depended on and the product makes a very attractive appear- 

 ance on the market, Seed small to medium sized, black, ob-
