BEANS-Continued. 
■around New Orleans, this is the first time the 
seed has been offered for sale in the North. The 
pods are long, very fleshy, succulent, stringless 
and of rich flavor ; they are produced early and 
abundantly. Altogether, we regard this as one 
of the most valuable green-podded b'^ans for 
market o»" family use that we know. The dry 
beans are of good size, and would doubtless 
also prove excellent for winter shell beans.

door plantins. Pkt., 10 pt.. 30a.

The Round Pod Red Valentine Bean is culti- 
vated for its tender and very fleshy pods, which 
remain long on the plants, witliout becoming 
hard and tough. They make an excellent, 
brittle pickle, and when cooked are not excelled 
by any other dwarf variety. Pkt., 10c ; pt., 25c.

bean, and as a string

equals. It is abundantly 
productive, pods are 
large, long and hand- 
some, and the bean,

Jones' Atlantic.— J. Boon to Bean Growers. 
This variety comes from the originator 
of the famous Ivory Pod Wax Bean and 
by these facts alone it comes recoumiended. It 
is described by the grower as being the pro- 
duct of a cross between the Large Red and the 
White Kidney, and retains the shape and size 
of its parents, with a marked improvement 
over both in productiveness, as it has pro- 
duced at the rate of 115 bushels an acre, a most 
wonderful crop. The color when I'ipe is white 
with a beautiful pink blotch around the eye. 
The vines are strong and vigorous, and it is 
strictly a bush bean, free from runners, with 
dark thick foliage, free from scald or blight, 
bearing its pods, which are long and well filled, 
well off the ground. This variety will even- 
tuallv take the place of the Red Kidney, as it 
produces fully double the crop and the quality 
is better. It'is valuable for a green shell bean, 
and we recommend market gardeners to try it.
