CULTURE.— Sow in April or May, in rows 1 foot apart, 

 and L:eep clean by frequent hoeing. When two years old 

 transplant into permanent beds, which should be well and 

 deeply manured, and trenched to the depth of 18 inches. On 

 the approach of winter, cover with manure or compost; fork

 kainit at the rate of 600 lbs. an acre. Cut for use the sec- 

 ond year after planting. 



This very handsome va- 

 riety, obtained by selec- 

 tion from seedlings of the Giant Dutch Purple Asparagus, 

 forms the greater part of those fine bundles which are 

 so much admired in the Paris markets in the spring. The 

 shoots are notably thicker than those of the parent plant, 

 the head is slightly pointed, and the scales with which it 

 is covered are very closely set, overlapping each other.

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 favor- 

 able, 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 the rows. Keep well hoed and 

 draw^'the earth up to the stem, but only when dry; working them when wet 

 wiiii rain dew will cause them to rust and injure "the crop. 



For snaps there is nothing su- 

 perior 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, cylindrical, very 

 flQshy, crisp and tender. I know of no stock of Red Valentine which can be 

 compared with that I offer in uniform.ity, high quality of pod. Price, packet, 

 .'t; cts.; pt., 10 cts.; qt.. 20 cts.; gal., 50 cts.; peck, 90 cts.; bushel, .$3.50.

strongly as an extra-early green-podded Bush Bean, to come in at the same 

 time as the Six Weeks or Mohawk. The plant is of remarkably handsome 

 and thrifty growth, and is practicall.y rust-proof. It is very hardy, extremely 

 early, very prolific, and bears continuously for several weeks. The pods are of 

 large size, thick, broad, extra long, very uniform in shape, solid, meaty and of 

 high quality, and have a delicious flavor exclusively their own. Desirable both 

 for home use and market. Pkt. 5 cts.; pt; 25 cts.; pk. $1.40; bus,

Vine very productive, compact, upright with large 

 leaves. Pods medium length, cylindrical, curved, 

 with splashes of bright red on a yellowish ground. They become fit for use as 

 green shelled beans very early, and in this condition tlie beans are very large, 

 easily shelled, and are about equal to the Lima in quality. Packet, 5 cts.; pt., 

 15 cts.; qt. 25 cts.; gal. 85 cts.; peck $1.50.
