BEANS 



Stringless Green Pod 



King of the Earlies 



Dwarf or Bush, Green Pod (Sufa so^en) 



One quart will plant 100 feet of drill. 

 Culture. — The varieties of this class are tender and will not bear much cold. Plant about the first of April 

 if the ground is warm and the season favorable, and at intervals throughout the season for a succession, finishing 

 about the 15th of August. The best mode of culture is in rows, 2 feet apart, and the Beans 2 inches apart, and 2 

 inches deep in rows. Keep well hoed and draw the earth up to the stem, but only when dry; working them when 

 wet with rain or dew will cause them to rust and injure the crop. 



Beans. — If wanted by mail, add, for postage, 4c. per pt., 8c. per qt. 



(Burpee's.) Posi- 

 tively stringless ;

 green, long and straight, perfectly round and meaty.

Valentine Improved Early Red 



For snaps there is nothing superior to this variety 

 among the green-podded sorts, and many prefer it 

 to the wax varieties. Vine erect, with coarse, dark 

 green leaves. Pods medium length, curved, cylin- 

 drical, very fleshy, crisp and tender. We know of 

 no stock of Red Valentines which can be compared 

 with that we offer in uniformly high quality of pod. 

 Pkt. 5c. and 10c, pt. 15c, qt. 25c, 4 qts. 90c, pk. 

 $1.75, bus. $6.50. 



This variety can be 

 planted fully a week 

 earlier than any other green Bean, as the dry Bean 

 will stand considerable cold wet weather, while 

 other varieties at the same time will rot in the 

 ground. The main feature of this Bean is its 

 earliness. The pods are usually ready to pick at 

 least 5 days ahead of Red Valentine, and are a 

 beautiful green color, extra long, almost straight, 

 round, thick, meaty, tender and in flavor unsur- 

 passed. Pkt. 5c. and 10c, pt. 15c, qt. 30c, 4 qts.
