IMPROVED ROUND POD ESTEA EARLY VALENTINE BEAN. 

 NEW IMPROVED ROUND POD EXTRA EARLY 

 RED VALENTINE. This is unquestionably the very best 

 and earliest green snap-short bean. It is at least ten days 

 earlier than the Early Red Valentine, and is usually ready 

 topick thirty-five to forty days from the time of planting. 

 The habit of the vine is dwarf, the pods are smooth, round, 

 stringless and very thickly set, remaining green and tender 

 a long time after they are fit to pull. The strain we offer 

 ■will be found unusually prolific, and to liold the pods well up 

 from the ground. Vines very uniform, making little or no 

 top growth, setting its fruit all low on the bush, ripening 

 very uniformly, and producing enormously. Pkt., lOc; pint, 

 25c.; qt., 45c., post-paid. By freight or express, pint, 17c.; 

 qt., 30e.; peck, $1.50 ; bush., $5.50. 



Emm mK^^LD'REFfe 



NEW EXTRA EARLY REFUGEE. This entirely 

 distinct new bush beau has all the first-rate qualities of the 

 well-known Kefugee, but will be ready for tlie market or 

 table at least ten days earlier. One of our most extensive 

 market gardeners near New York City says he has planted 

 it in the spring, gathered the ripe crop, and again planted it 

 in time for fall pickling. It is an immense yielder and sure 

 to produce a crop in either a ■wet or dry season. Pkt., 10c.; 

 pint, 25c.; qt., 45c.; peck, $1.40 ; bush., $5.25. 



NEW UNION WHITE VALENTINE. Perhaps no 

 greater improvement in dwarf beans has ever been accom- 

 plished than iu this variety. It originated in Jetlersoii 

 County, N. Y., with one of our largest bean growers, and, as 

 its name implies, is a complete union of all good qualities 

 necessary to make a dwarf green-pod bean perfect. It is 

 much earlier and of a dwaifer habit than the old AVhite 

 Valentine, the pods being rounder, smoother, plumper and 

 more meaty and entirely strinyless. Among many others it 

 possesses the peculiar and valuable quality of remaining in 

 a tender cooking condition longer than any other green- 

 podded variety. This, together with its extreme earliness — 

 being tit topick in thirty days from time of germination — 

 makes it an exceedingly valuable sort for spring or fall plant- 

 ing. The beans, when ripe, are pure white, thus enabling 

 the grower to sell tliem as shelled beans at a profitable figure 

 in case he cannot sell them in the green state. Pkt., 10c.; 

 pint, 25c.; qt., 4.5c.; peck, $1.50; bush., $5.50. 



Early China Red Eye. Of good quality, used as a 

 string or shell bean. Pint, 20c.; qt., 40c. 



BEST OF ALL, This newly introduced dwarf bean is, 

 as its name indicates, one of the best. It originated in Ger- 

 many, with long glossy pods about twice .is long as those of 

 the Valentine, very tender and succulent and an enormous 

 producer, very popular in the South. Pint, 25c.; qt., 45c.; 

 peek, $1.40; bush., $5.00. 



Broad Windsor. An English bean, valuable from its 

 habit of ripening unequally, some pods being full while 

 others are in various stages of filling. Pint, 35c.

 pods that are long, round and of a golden yellow color. It 

 is suitable for early or late sowing, and for a wet or dry 

 season. If sown in spring, it will give seed in time for a

 35c ; qt. , 60c. 



NEW SPECKLED WAX. The bestlate wax podded 

 bean. Its long, cylindrical, waxy yellow pods are tender, 

 crisp, and of the best quality when in condition to use for

 superior. For those who wish to plant but one variety, this 

 is the best. Pkt., lOc; pint, 30c.; qt., 50c.
