8tringle8s Green Pod 
Extra Early Round 
Pod Red Valentine f c e - "ZJn ^ 
many prefer it to the wax varieties. Vines medium to large, 
erect, with dark green leaves. Pods medium length, curved, 
cylindrical, with crease in back, very Meshy, crisp and ten¬ 
der. Seed long, of medium size and unsymmetrical in shape, 
purplish pink splashed with pale buff. Lack of symmetry in 
the seed of this variety is an indication of superior fieshiness 
and good quality in the pods. We know of no stock of Red 
Valentine which can be compared with that we offer in un¬ 
iformly high quality of pod. We have carefully tested both 
in trials and in large fields many different strains of Valen¬ 
tine offered under slightly varying names, each claiming to 
be a great and distinct improvement and have found none 
that compared with our stock which combines in the highest 
degree all the good qualities of the sort. Pkt. 10c; Pt. 20c;

ance on the market. Seed small to medium sized, black, ob¬ 
long, slightly flattened. Pkt. 10c; Pt. 20c; Qt. 30c;
