VEGETABLE SEEDS 



BIT^H RFAN^^^ ^^^ VALENTINE, Earliest (Henderson's) 

 ^ ^ -n. MJ Ej /V IM O Full, Round, Meaty Pod. Remains Long Fit foi 



GREEN PODDED 



for Use 



This grand variety is a great improvement over the original Red Valentine, as it is 

 very much earlier, and remains fit for use for a long time. The healthy, vigorous plants 

 are unusually hardy, successfully withstanding early frosts; it may therefore be planted 

 very early. It will always yield a large crop of handsome, long, round, fleshy pods, rich 

 green in color and of unsurpassed tenderness when gathered young, when it is practically 

 stringless. {See illustration.) 



Price, pkt. 10c; pt. 40c; qt. 75c; 4 qts. S2.50; peck $4.75; transportation paid. 



25 REFUGEE or 1000 to 1 



Very Prolific. 



Popular for Pickling^ 



The extremely productive nature of this bean accounts for its extensive cultivation 

 for canning and pickling purposes. Many thousands of bushels are grown annually to 

 supply the demand for the popular German schnitzel beans. The plants grow about 

 15 inches high. The pods are light green in color, long and slim but slight string. An 

 ideal fall cropping variety. {See illustration.) 



Price, pkt. 10c; pt. 35c; qt. 65c; 4 qts. S2.25; peck $4.25; transportation paid. 



27 STRINGLESS BLACK VALENTINE (Novelty) 



There are few beans that have achieved the universal popularity of the old Black 

 Valentine, because there are none more dependable, in cold, dry or wet seasons. Its only 

 objection especially for the home gardener was that these beautiful beans developed 

 strings. Years of effort were spent to develop a bean possessing all of the good qualities 

 of Black Valentine, but stringless. We are now happy to offer a perfectly stringless type 

 of this splendid bean, but possessing all of the other good qualities of its progenitor. A 

 sturdy constitution, beautiful, straight soft green pods, produced in abundance. String- 

 less Black Valentine is also a good forcing variety. 



Price, pkt. 20c; pt. 80c; qt. SI. 50; transportation paid. 



19 LONGFELLOW 



Elxtra Early, Fine Quality, and of 

 Delicious Flavor 



An ideal Snap Bean, producing a fine 

 crop of round, straight, solid, fleshy pods 

 averaging 6 }/2 inches long, wonderfully 

 tender and brittle, without a trace of 

 tough interlining, and having no string 

 when broken, excepting when the pods are 

 quite old. The flavor is most delicious, 

 while the delicate green color of the pods 

 is retained after cooking, adding to its 

 attractiveness when served. The plants 

 are of robust, compact habit, unexcelled 

 in bearing qualities, maturing the crop 

 very regularly. It is extra early, the pods 

 ■ being fit to pick four days before other 

 varieties of approximate size. 



Price, pkt. 10c; pt. 45c; qt. 80c; 

 4 qts. $3.00; peck $5.50; transportation paid.
