Green Podded Sorts. 
EXTRA EARLY REFUGEE. 
The earliest of the green pod- 
ded kinds furnishing a fleshy 
pod of fine quality. The vines 
are a little smaller and more 
upright growing and the leaves 
distinctly lighter colored than 
those of the late Refugee, 
though the dry beans are of 
Our stock has been selected 
with great care and is extreme- 
ly uniform, all the vines ripening their pods 
well together and long before those of the 
common Refugee are usable. Pkt. 10cts.; 
Pt. 15cts.; Qt. 20cts.; 4 Qts. 60cts.; Bu. $3.00. 
EXTRA EARLY ROUND POD RED VALENTINE. 
For snaps there is nothing superior to this variety 
among the green podded sorts, and many prefer 
it to the wax varieties. Vines erect, with coarse, 
dark green leaves, and large,white blossoms; pods 
medium length, curved, cylindrical, with crease 
in back, very fleshy, crisp and tender; beans me- 
dium size, long, irregular, pink, marbled with red. 
Among green podded varieties there is none, we think, that can 
compare with our stock of Valentine in fleshiness and _ high qual- 
ity of pod. Many different strains of Valentine are offered under 
ve slightly varying names, each claiming to be a great and distinct 
LY improvement. We have carefully examined them all, both in 
He trials and in large yields, and have found none which we were 
2s 7) FS willing to substitute for our old stock, which combines in a high 
ie ~ degree all the good qualities of the sort. Pkt. 10cts.; Pt. 15cts.; 
LE Qt. 20cts.; 4 Qts. 60cts.; Bushel $3.00. 
BEST OF ALL.—The vine is very hardy, vigorous and healthy, producing an abund- 
ance of very straight, handsome pods, which, when fit for use as snaps, are very brittle 
and of a peculiar deep green color. As the pods mature 
they become lighter in color and splashed with bright red. 
When fit for use as green shelled the beans are large, 
mottled with red, very tender and of fine quality. The 
dry beans are mottled in two shades of red. One of the 
hardiest and best of the green podded varieties. Pkt. 10c.; 
Pt. licts.; Qt. 20cts.; 4 Qts. 60cts.; Bushel $3.00. 
ROUND YELLOW SIX WEEKS, IMPROVED ROUND 
-—While this variety does not differ from the Early 
Yellow Kidney Six Weeks in size or general appearance 
of the vine, the pods are shorter, very much thicker, more 
fleshy and quite stringless. Moreover, while retaining the 
vigor and hardiness of the old sort, it is fully one week 
earlier. Dry bean, color of ordinary Six Weeks, but much 
shorter. Pkt. 10cts.; Pt. 15cts.; Qt. 20cts.; 4 Qts. 60cts.; 
Bushel $3.00. 
EARLY YELLOW KIDNEY SIX WEEKS._vines large, 
vigorous, branching, productive, with large leaves and 
lilac blossoms; pods long, straight, narrow, handsome, 
and when young, of good quality; beans long, kidney- 
\ shaped, yellowish-drab, with darker marks about the eye.

EARLY MOHAWK. This sort is so much hardier than 
the others that it can be planted earlier and often in this 
way will furnish beans fit for use before any other kind. 
\ Vines large, stout, with large, coarse leaves which: will 
‘stand a slight frost; blossoms large, purple; pods long, 
straight, coarse, with long, tapering point; beans long, 
kidney-shaped, variegated with drab, purple and brown. 
This variety is much in favor for forcing under glass, as 
it matures quickly and carries a good weight of long, 
large pods. Pkt. 10cts.; Pt. 15cts.; Qt. 20cts.; 4 Qts. 60cts. ;
