HENDERSON’S 
Black Valentine 
GREEN-PODDED BUSH BEAN 
4 Possesses all the merits of our old favorite Red 
Valentine, and the pod is fully one-third longer. In addi- 
_ tion it has other valuable points. ‘The pods are extra long, 
round, straight and tender, and of a beautiful soft green 
color. It is also equally early, but has another advantage 
in that it is more suitable for late planting. In a test of 
the Extra Early Refugee, Henderson’s Earliest Red 
“Valentine and Black Valentine, conducted in the fall, we 
found that Black Valentine was fully as useful as Extra 
_ Harly Refugee, being equally as hardy in every respect as 
the Refugee, while the beans were produced in enormous 
quantities. -For any purpose, or at any time of the year, 
this bean will be found exceedingly valuable to all classes 
of growers. (See engraving.) Price, 10c. pkt., 35c. pt. 
60c. at.» ae for half peck.

Red Valentine, as it is very much earlier, and remains fit for use 
for a long time, The healthy, vigorous plants are unusually hardy, 
successfully withstanding early frosts; it may therefore be planted 
very early. It will always yield-a large crop of handsome, long, 
round, fleshy pods, rich green in color and of unsurpassed tenderness 
when gathered young, when it is practically stringless. It is the 
' Standard Snap Bean, not only for the earliest, but for successive 
plantings, bearing up to frost. Price, 10c. ne 35c. pt, soc qt.,

in four weeks’ time. My peas, too, are very jine, and they will be ready to eat on 
June 16th (Sunday), Sue weeks and one dan since planting, and that on poor soil.’’
