HASTINGS' EXTRA EARLY RED VALENTINE BEANS (Round Podded) 
WHY DON’T YOU MEET “GOOD GARDEN LUCK” HALF WAY? 
Yes, you, Mr. Gardner, who have been planting: doubtful quality seeds, why not? Most garden “ba>d luck” comes 
from planting doubtful seeds bought from ‘'boxes” in the stores. You can meet "good garden luck” a little more than 
half way this summer and fall by promptly ordering and planting Hastings’ Seeds. With half a chance they won’t 
disappoint you.

L n "* where in the South at all times of the year. An all right bean when the seed

Hastings’ Stringless Green Pod (No. 6) ^ " beL h jff h an. 
For our personal garden use it is the only green podded bush variety that gets a place in 
our home garden. Not advised for shipping because pods are too large, but for home use 
and near-by markets it has no equal. Pods absolutely stringless from the time they start 
to form until they begin to dry up. Very prolific, a strong, vigorous grower, coming in 
about same time as our Red Valentine. Pods retain their fine flavor and quality to the 
last. If you want bean quality combined with heavy bearing, plant our Stringless Green 
Pod. (This is entirely distinct from the Giant Stringless, which is so inferior in quality 
that we have never catalogued it.) Packet, 10 cents; Ms 
pint, 20 cents; pint, 30 cents; quart, 50 cents; postpaid. 
Not prepaid, peek, $2.00; bushel, $7.50.
