Extra Early Round Pod 

 Red Valentine 



Giant Stringless Green Pod 



Extra Early Round Pod Red Valentine fg'e'r°e''?l 



nothing superior 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, with crease in back, 

 very fleshy, crisp and tender; seed long, of medium size and unsym- 

 metrical in shape, pink marbled with 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 offer in uniformly high quality of 

 pod. We have carefully tested both in trials and in large flelds many 

 difl'erent strains of Valentine 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. 15c; Qt. 25c;

Rlsinlr Val<»r»l-ir»*» ^ very hardy and productive green podded 

 uiaun. V aiciiLiiic g^^.^ ^-^^^^ strong, vigorous vine, a little more 

 spreading and in season a little later than the Red Valentine; the 

 pods are much longer, straighter, less fleshy and rather flat but very 

 handsome. A large crop can be depended on and the product makes 

 a very attractive appearance on the market. Seed black, oblong, 

 slightly flattened. {Sold out) .

Pt. 15c; Qt. 25c; 4 Qts. 75c; Bu. $4.50 



A most valuable addition to our green 

 podded sorts. The vine is vigorous, 

 spreading, and very productive. The pods are larger than those of 

 the Red Valentine but are quite as fleshy, of equally high quality and 

 remain crisp and tender longer. They mature a little later; seed yel- 

 lowish brown. Pkt. 10c; Pt. 15c; Qt. 25c; 4 Qts. 75c; Bu. $5.00 



An exceedingly productive 

 and very handsome sort.

 Pod, are a little longer and the quality is very good. Leaves small 

 and light green. Seed long, slender, light yellowish brown. Pkt. 10c;
