SCARLET FLAGEOLET WAX This variety seems to do especially well in 

 The South, and is a favorite with many truck farmers. The large, strong growing and 

 erect vines produce very long. flat, rather coarse, but beautifully wax-like pods, which 

 though often curved and twisted, are always handsome. Dry beans large, flat, bright 

 red. Sold out.

Early Yellow Kidney Six Weeks 



Extra Early Round Pod Bed Valentine 



For snaps there is nothing superior to this variety among the older 

 green podded sorts, and many prefer it to the wax varieties. Vine 

 erect, with coarse, dark green leaves, and large, white blossoms: pods medium 

 length, curved. cyUndrical. with crease in back, very fleshy, crisp and tender; 

 beans medium sized, long, irregular, pink marbled wth red. We know of no 

 stock of Red Valentine which can be compared with that we offer in tenderness 

 and high quality of pod. It is as early as the earliest. Many different strains of 

 Valentine are offered under slightly varying names, each claiming to be a great 

 and distinct improvement. We have carefully examined them all. both in trials 

 and in large fields, and have found none that we are willing to substitute for our 

 old stock, which combines in a high degree all the good qualities of the sort.

 BEST OF ALL. The hardj', vigorous vine produces an abundance of verj- straight, 

 handsome pods which when fit for use as snaps are very 

 brittle and of a peculiar deep green color. As the pods mature 

 they become lighter in color and splashed with bright red. 

 AVhen fit for use as green shelled, che beans are large, mottled 

 with rp<l, very tender and of fine quality. The drj- beans are 

 mottled in two shades of red. One of the hardiest and best 

 of the g-reen podded varieties.
