GREEN PODDED SORTS 
The green podded dwarf sorts are perhaps the most important class of garden beans and are probably more extensively 
used for snaps than the wax podded varieties, although the latter are considered by many as the more attractive in appear- 
ance. The green podded sorts are as a rule the more productive, being less sensitive to unfavorable conditions of soil and climate 
and of late years have been less susceptible to bean diseases. 
An extremely early, green podded sort furnishing round, fleshy, light green pods which are slightly 
Early Refugee curved, of medium size, about five inches long and of fine quality. The plants are a little smaller, more 
upright, and the leaves a little larger thanthose of the late Refugee, and the seed much the same in shape and color. Our 
stock is uniform, the vines ripening pods well together and long before those of the Refugee or Thousand to One. Seed long, 
cylindrical, rounded at ends, drab, nearly covered with dark purple blotches. ‘This is an excellent snap bean for early 
markets and stands shipment well. Pkt. 10c; Lb. 55c; 2 Lbs. $1.00 postpaid; 10 Lbs. $3.70

Bountiful of much better quality. Thevines are vigorous and productive. The pods are very long, six to seven 
inches, straight, broad, flat, light green, of handsome appearance and 
absolutely stringless for snaps. They are tender and brittle, much 
longer than most sorts. The pods are longer, broader and have much 
longer tips than those of Long Yellow Six Weeks. Seed medium sized, 
kidney shaped, light yellow with brownish circle about eye. Bountiful 
is a most desirable early sort for snaps for the home garden. Pkt. 10c;

° For snaps there is nothing superior to this variety 
Red Valentine among the dwarf green podded sorts both for the 
home and market garden and many prefer it to the wax varieties. The 
plants are of medium size, erect with dark green leaves. The pods are 
of medium length, about four and one-half inches, medium green color, 
curved, cylindrical, with crease in back, very fleshy, crisp and tender. 
Where the young plants have to contend with adverse conditions, no 
other dwarf bean is more certain than the Valentines are to set pods. 
Seed long, of medium size and unsymmetrical in shape, purplish pink 
splashed with pale buff. We know of no stock of Red Valentine which 
can be compared with that we offer in uniformly high quality of pod. 
Our strain combines in high degree all the good qualities of the sort.

é ° Avery hardy and productive green podded sort

nearly round or slightly flattened, medium size, of dark green color 
and about six inches long. The pods hold their attractive appearance

poorest quality for table use. Not recommended for a home garden 
variety. Seed small to medium sized, black, oblong, slightly flattened.
