Extra Early Round 

 Pod Red Valentine 



For snaps there is nothing superior to 

 this variety among the dwarf green pod- 

 ded sorts both for the home and market 

 garden and many prefer it to the wax 



varieties. Vines medium to large, erect, with dark green leaves. 



Pods medium length, about four and one-half inches, of medium 



green color, curved, cylindrical, with crease in back, very fleshy, 



crisp and tender. Seed long, of medium size and unsymmetrical in 



shape, purplish pink splashed with pale buff. 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 fields 



many different strains of Valentine oft'ered 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. 25c;

flat but very handsome, much longer, straighter, less fleshy than 



the Red Valentine, the plant a little more spreading, and in season 



a little later. A large crop can be depended on and tlie product 



makes a very attractive apjjearance on the market. Pods medium 



dark green, about six inches long. Seed small to medium sized, 



black, oblong, slightly flattened. Pkt. 10c; Pt. 20c; Qt. 30c;

wart rlOrtlCUltUral leaves. The mature pods are about five to five and one-half inches in length, broad and thick, 



curved, with splashes of bright red on a yellowish ground. They become fit for use as green shelled beans early and in this 

 condition the beans are very large, easily shelled and are about equal to the Lima in quality. This is one of the best sorts for 

 green shell beans for home and market. Seed large, oval, plump, pale buff splashed with deep red, Pkt. 10c; Pt. 25c;
