Our stock is uniform, the vines ripening pods well together and long 
before those of the Refugee or Thousand to One. An excellent snap 
bean for early markets and stands shipment well. Seed long, 
cylindrical, rounded at ends, drab, nearly covered with dark purple 
blotches. Pkt. 10c; Pt. 20c; Qt. 30c; 4 Qt*. $1.00; Bu. $5.50

T? 1 m/f i 1 This sort is so much hardier than the others 
r-arly IVionawK that it can be planted earlier and often will 
furnish beans fit for use before any otner-kind. Vines large, stout, 
with large coarse, dark green leaves. Poos long, six to six and one- 
half inches, straight, coarse, flat, with long tapering points. Seed

*7 . 17 1 D j For sn **ps there is nothing superior to 
HiXtra Jc-arly Kound this variety among the dwarf green pod- 
Pod Red Valentine sorts for th© home and market 
garden and many prefer it to the wax 
to large, erect, with d 
Black Valentine 
varieties. Vines medium to large, erect, with dark gre 
Pods medium length, about four and one-half inches, 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 of this va¬ 
riety 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 care¬ 
fully 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 com¬ 
pared with our stock which combines in the highest degree all the good 
qualities of the sort. Pkt. 10c; Pt. 20c; Qt. 30c; 4 Qt*. $1.00; Bu. $5.50 
A very hardy and productive green podded 
sort with strong, vigorous vines. Pods rather 
flat but very handsome, much longer, straighter, less fleshy than 
the Red Valentine, the plant a little more spreading, and in season 
a little later. A large crop can be depended on and the product 
makes a very attractive appearance on the market. Pods about six 
inches long.' Seed small to medium sized, black, oblong, slightly 
flattened. Pkt. 10c; Pt. 20c; Qt. 30c; 4 Qt*. $1.00; Bu. $6.00 
c*. • i j A very desirable green podded snap 
otnngless ijrecn i od sort for the home garden and largely 
f rown for the market. The vine is vigorous, spreading and pro- 
uctive. The pods are five to six inches long, larger than those of the 
Red Valentine but are quite as fleshy, of equally high quality and re¬ 
main crisp and tender longer. They mature a little later. Seed of 
medium size and length, yellowish brown. Pkt. 10c; Pt. 25c; Qt. 35c; 
4 Qts. $1.25; Bu. $7.00 
.o.* i r*j An exceedingly productive 
Lxiant btrmgless L»reen Jrod and very handsome sort. 
Vines vigorous and spreading. The pods mature a few days later 
than those of Stringless Green Pod, average about one-fourth inch 
longer and more nearly straight. The quality is very good for snaps 
for home use; suitable also for the market. The seea is long, slender, 
yellow. Pkt. 10c; Pt. 25c; Qt. 35c; 4 Qt*. $1.25; Bu. $7.00 
-r, D J This dwarf, early intermediate snap 
I ennessee \jreen JrOu bean, although comparatively new 
to the seed trade, is very popular in some sections of the south and 
wherever known is spoken of in terms of highest praise. Vines 
large, somewhat spreading and prolific; foliage dark green, with 
leaves large and crumpled. Pods very long, often six to seven inches,

shape, bright but rather dar k green and of excellent quality. Seed of medium size, oval. flat, yellowish brown 
in color. w After careful selection we have developed a uniformly true stock of the variety which is giving splendid satisfaction.

r U .. I- | Vines very productive, compact, upright, with large leaves. Pods five to five and one-half inches 
Llwarr Horticultural ill length,'broad and thick, curved, with splashes of bright red on a yellowish ground. They be¬ 
come fit for use as green shelled beans early and in this condition the beans are very large, easily shelled and are about equal 
to the Lima in quality. One of the best sorts for green shell beans for home and market. Seed large, oval, plump, light 
creamy brown splashed with deep red. Pkt. 10c; Pt. 25c; Qt. 35c; 4 Qt*. $1.25; Bu. $6.50
