Green Podded, Dwarf or Bush Varieties 



CULTURE.— Dwarf Beans may not 

 be safely planted until the middle of 

 April owing to the late frost, but may be 

 planted thereafter as desired, until the 

 middle of August. 



Select high, rich soil, make drills two 

 feet apart, drop beans along the rows 

 and cover with earth. Hoe often to keep 

 earth to the stems. 



IMPROVED EXTRA EARLY RED 

 VALENTINE.— Is the favorite sort for 

 growers who supply the early markets, 

 because its growth is so rapid, and be- 

 cause it stands shipment perfectly. It is 

 a heavy cropper, and ready to pick in 

 about forty days, Pint, 15c. Quart, 25c.

 and straight; of a beautiful green color.
