Extra Early Round 
For snaps there is nothing superior to 
this variety among the dwarf green pod- 
Pnrl in** ded sorts both for the home and market 
a ivcu v didiLiuc garden and many prefer it to the wax 
varieties. Vines medium to large, erect, with dark green leaves. 
Pods medium length, about four and one-half inches, of medium 
green color, curved, cylindrical, with crease in back, very fleshy, 
crisp and tender. Seed long, of medium size and unsymmetrical in 
shape, purplish pink splashed with pale buff. Lack of symmetry in 
the seed or this variety is an indication of superior fleshiness and 
good quality in the pods. We know of no stock of Red Valentine 
which can be compared with that we offer in uniformly high quality 
of pod. We have carefully tested both in trials and in large fields 
many different strains of Valentine offered under slightly varying 
names, each claiming to be a great and distinct improvement and 
have found none that compared without’stock which combines in the 
highest degree all the good qualities of the sort. Pkt. 10c; Pt. 25c;

dark green, about six inches long. Seed small to medium sized, 
black, oblong, slightly flattened. Pkt. 10c; Pt. 20c; Qt. 30c;

Giant Stringless Green Pod
