Black Valentine 



A New Round, Green-Podded Variety 



Among the dwarf edible, green-podded or snap Beans, the Valentine family is probably the most extensively 

 grown and generally popular type, and in consequence, extensive culture, selection and breeding for seed purposes 



have brought forth several yarieties of merit, among which we consider' 

 our new Black (Seeded) Valentine unqualifiedly the best and a most 

 valuable introduction. It possesses all the merits of the favorite Red 

 Valentine, and, in addition, has other desirable qualities; the plants are 

 of compact but vigorous growth, very hardy, with a capacity for resisting 

 unfavorable weather and disease, thus especially adapting this variety 

 for very early as well as for very late planting; in fact, it is most reliable 

 and satisfactory for sowing in succession at any season, being thrifty 

 and enormously productive even under adverse conditions. Beautifiil 

 pods, soft green color, extra long, almost straight, round, very thick, meaty 

 and tender, without string, Pkt. iO cts., pt. 20 cts., qt. 35 cts., 

 postpaid; by freight or express, qt. 20 cts., peck $1.25, bus,
