 smaller and more upright growing and the leaves distinctly lighter colored than 

 those of the late Refugee, though the dry beans are much the same in shape and 

 color. Our stock has beeo selected with great care and is uniform, all the viaes

Extra Early Round Pod Red Valcntinc^^^edo? to'^fh^'s'TaHS? 



among the older green-podded sorts and many prefer it to the wax varieties. Vine 

 erect, with coarse, dark green leaves; pods medium length, curved, cyhndrical 

 with crease in back, very fleshy, crisp and tender; seed long, of medium size and' 

 unsymmetrical in shape, pink, marbled with red. 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 

 m tenderness and high quality of pod. Many different strains of Valentine are 

 offered under slightly varying names, each claiming to be a great and distinct im 

 provement, We have carefully tested a great many strains claimed to be improve- 

 ments 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 afl the good quali- 

 ties of the sort. Pkt. 10c; Pt. 25c; Qt. 35c; 4 Qts. $1.25; Bushel $6.60
