 ing to the late frost, but may be planted 

 thereafter as desired, until the middle of 

 August.

IMPROVED EXTRA EARLY RED 

 VALENTINE.— Is the favorite sort for 

 growers who supply the early markets, be- 

 cause its growth is so rapid, and because it 

 stands shipment perfectly. It is a heavy 

 cropper, and ready to pick in about forty 

 days. Pint, 15c. Quart, 30c. Peck, $1.75. 

 Bushel, $6.50.

 all the merits of the Red Valentine, and in 

 addition has other valuable points. The 

 pod is fully one-third longer than the Red 

 Valentine and is perfectly round and 

 straight; of a beautiful green color. Quart, 

 30c. Peck, $2.00. Bushel, $7.50. 



EXTRA EARLY REFUGEE.— The pods 

 are flashy and of fine quality; very hardy. 

 Qt., 30c. Pk., $1.75. Bushel, $6.50.

 Bush Bean, which comes into bearing very 

 early and continues almost throughout the 

 season. Absolutely stringless; good shell 

 bean for winter use. Quart, 30c. Peck, 

 $2.00. Bushel, $8.00. 



BURPEE'S STRINGLESS GREEN 

 POD. — This new bean produces a vine simi- 

 lar to Red Valentine, but develops pods to 

 edible condition two or three days earlier 

 than Valentine; that is to say, in thirty to 

 thirty-one days from germination, which extraordinary maturity for table at once advances the Stringless 

 Green Pod to the first rank among table beans. Quart, 30c. Peck, $2.00. Bushel, $8.00. 



DWARF HORTICULTURAL. — Large, green pods, splashed with carmine. Excellent either as snaps 

 in the green state, or shelled green or dry. In this neighborhood is one of the very best selling beans on 

 the market. Quart, 30c. Peck, $2.00. Bushel, $7.00. 



WHITE PEA OR NAVY.— Boston Baking Bean. Price per quart, 20c. Peck, $1.50. Bushel, $4.50. 



WAX SNAP OR BUSH BEANS 



PENCIL POD BLACK WAX. — Pencil Pod Black Wax grows a taller, stronger and more vigorous bush 

 than the Improved Prolific Black Wax, which is one of its parents. The other parent is the Round Pod 

 Refugee or Thousand to One, and from this latter source the Pencil Pod Black Wax gets much of its vigor, 

 hardiness and productiveness. Quart, 30c. Peck, $2.00. Bushel, $8.00. 



Wardwell's Kidney Wax. — Strong, upright bush growth, 15 inches in heighth, very productive. 

 Pods straight, fleshy, 5 inches in length, one-half inch broad. A rich golden yellow, brittle and entirely 

 stringless, even when fully developed, of mild flavor. Quart, 30c. Peck, $2.25. Bushel, $8.00. 



Dwarf German Wax. — One of the finest Snap-shorts, and the oldest of the wax varieties; pods trans- 

 parent, waxy yellow, and snap like pipe-stems; boil as rich as butter, and when highly seasoned are 

 luscious; they are thick and very tender, entirely stringless, and fully as early as the Valentine. Quart, 

 30c, Peck, $2.00. Bushel, $8.00. 



Improved Golden Wax. — (Rust proof.) — This variety, the pods of which are of a dark, rich golden- 

 yellow color, is rapidly surpassing the famous Golden Wax, which has been the most popular and most 

 desirable of all Wax varieties. Quart, 30c. Peck, $2.00. Bushel, $8.00. 



Currie's Rust-Proof. — Pods long, flat and straight, of a beautiful golden color. Price per quart, 30c. 

 Peck. $2.25. Bushel, $8.50. 



Hodson Wax. — A n ew and distinct type of wax bean; strong, healthy growth, and resists rusts and blight 

 to a remarkable degree. Remarkably prolific, the plant being loaded with long, straight, handsome pods, 

 resembling the Wardwell's Kidney Wax, but plumper, straighter and longer. Quart, 30c. Peck, $2.25. 

 Bushel, $8.00. 



If beans are ordered by mail or express prepaid, add 10c. per pint, 15c. per quart, for charges.
