 late green-podded beans. The

 bulbs of beautiful shape, being a deep blood-red in color ; the 

 flesh has alternate rings of dark and oright red, of the finest 

 quality, tender and sweet at all times. They are of good size 

 and very uniform ; never become tough and stringy with age.

 rapid growth makes it also valuable. Per pkt., 5 cts.; oz., lO
