r? . r 1 n e An extremely early, green podded sort 



£.Xtra Larly KerUgee furnishing round, fleshy pods slightly 



curved, of medium size, about five inches long and of fine quality. 



Vines a little smaller, more upright, and leaves a little larger than 



those of the late Refugee; seed much the same in shape and color. 



Our stock is uniform, the vines ripening pods well together and long 



before those of the Refugee or Thousand to One. An excellent snap 



bean for early markets and stands shipment well. Seed long, 



cylindrical, rounded at ends, drab, nearly covered with dark purple 



blotches. Pkt. 10c; Pt. 20c; Qt. 30c; 4 Qts. $1.00; Bu. $5.50

Wrnvt^A Rminrl PnA Weeks in size or general appearance 

 rOVea J\OUna roa of vine, pods are shorter, about four 

 and one-half inches, much thicker, fleshier and mature earlier. Seed 

 medium sized, round, light yellow with slightly darker marking about 

 the eye. Pkt. 10c; Pt. 20c; Qt. 30c; 4 Qts. $1.00; Bu. $5.50 



Early Yellow Kidney Six Weeks very^efe^f 'and^quYte 



Eroductive, with large leaves. Pods long, about six inches, straight, 

 at, handsome, rather light green and when young are of good 

 q^uality for snaps. Early maturing and a fine shipper. Seed medium 

 sized, long, kidney shaped, light yellow with small brownish circle 

 about the eye. Pkt. 10c; Pt, 20c; Qt. 30c; 4 Qts. $1.00; Bu. $5.50

tarly MonawK that it can be planted earlier and often will 

 furnish beans^t for use before any other kind. Vines large, stout,

 half inches, straight, coarse, flat, with long tapering points. Seed

|-i , 1? 1 D J ^'^^ snaps there is nothing superior to 



HiXtra Ciarly KOUna this variety among the dwarf green pod- 



Pr»rl Rorl VsalAntiriA ded sorts both for the home and market 



r%fu fXCU vaicilLinc 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, curved, 

 cylindiical, 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 va- 

 riety 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 care- 

 fully tested both in trials and in large fields many different strains of 

 Valentine offered under slightly varying names, each claiming to be 

 a great and distinct improvement and have found none that com- 

 pared with our stock which combines in the highest degree all the good 

 quahties of the sort. Pkt. 10c; Pt. 20c; Qt. 30c; 4 Qts. $1.00; Bu. $5.50 



T>| I \r 1 M.* ^ "^ei*? hardy and productive green podded 



DiaCK V aientine sort with strong, vigorous vines. Pods rather 



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 the product 



makes a very attractive appearance on the market. Pods about six 



inches long. Seed small to medium sized, black, oblong, slightly 



flattened. Pkt. 10c; Pt. 20c; Qt. 30c; 4 Qts. $1.00; Bu. $6.00 

 C- . I ^ D J -^ very desirable green podded snap 



OtringleSS L»reen rod sort for the home garden and largely 



grown for the market. The vine is vigorous, spreading and pro- 

 ductive. The pods are five to six inches long, larger than those of the 



Red Valentine but are quite as fleshy, of equally high quality and re- 

 main crisp and tender longer. They mature a little later. Seed of 



medium size and length, yellowish brown. Pkt. 10c; Pt. 25c; Qt. 35c;

 g^» M. Cm. ' 1 O DJ -^^ exceedingly productive 



Vaiant OtringleSS Lsreen roa and very handsome sort. 



Vines vigorous and spreading. The pods mature a few days later 



than those of Stringless- Green Pod, average about one-fourth inch 



longer and more nearly straight. The quality is very good for snaps 



for home use; suitable also for the market. The seed is long, slender, 



yeUow. Pkt. 10c; Pt. 25c; Qt. 35c; 4 Qts. $1.25; Bu. $7.00 

 rp i^ D J ^^^^ dwarf, early intermediate snap 



1 enneSSee Lireen jroa bean, although comparatively new 



to the seed trade, is very popular in some sections of the south and 



wherever known is spoken of in terms of highest praise. Vines 



large, somewhat spreading and prolific; foliage dark green, with 



leaves large and crumpled. Pods very long, often six to seven inches, 



flat, irregular in shape, bright but rather dark green and of excellent quality. Seed of medium size, oval, flat, yellowish brown 



in color. After careful selection we have developed a uniformly true stock of the variety which is giving splendid satisfaction.

rx ^ 14 J.* 1* 1 Vines very productive, compact, upright, with large leaves. Pods five to five and one-half inches 



LIWaiT rlOrtlCUltUral in length, broad and thick, curved, with splashes of bright red on a yellowish ground. They be- 

 come 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. One of the best sorts for green shell beans for home and market. Seed large, oval, plump, light 

 creamy brown splashed with deep red. Pkt. 10c; Pt. 25c; Qt. 35c; 4 Qts. $1.25; Bu. $6.50 



I ^ A C A A A ^^^6S large, erect and vigorous. Pods large, long, about six inches, flat, straight or sometimes 



iniprOVea vsOuuairCl curved, green when young, but as they mature are splashed and striped with crimson. Green 



Giant Stringless Green Pod 



beans very large, splashed with red and of fine quality as a midseason green shell sort, 

 longer and much larger. Pkt. 10c; Pt. 20c; Qt. 30c; 4 Qts. $1.00; Bu. $6.00 



Seed like Dwarf Horticultural but 



If beans are order-ed by mail or express prepaid add 10 cents per pint, 15 cents per quart for charges.
