^^sa mmm H E N D E R= SON'S BUSH Lin A.—This is a small dwarf Lima that gives you the first beans of the season;the qual- ity is very good, though not the best; in produc- t i v e n e s s. I doubt if it has an epual; it commences to bear teu days ahead of any other variety that I knoAV and remains full until killed by frost. Pkt. 10c; pt. 25c; qt. 45c; postpaid. By express, 4 qts. $1.00; peck $1.50. DREER'S BUSH LIHA, OR POTATO BEAN.—This is a great market variety. The gardeners around this sec- tion for several years have been planting largely of this variety to«ship green to the New York market, and for the first of the crop often receive as much as $1.00 per half barrel basket. This is a bean of rather pe- culiar shape, being thick and plump rather than flat and oval; it is a very meaty bean, of excellent flavor and high table quality; the vine has the Lima habit of growth and it is very productive of pods always well filled; when green they nearly equal the ordinary large Lima bean in size, but are thicker, sweeter, and more tender; they remain green in the pod a long time after maturing; the beans are easily shelled and are in wide favor; the pods are crammed so full that a basket of, green pods will shell half the quantity of shelled beans. Pkt. 10c; pt. 30c; qt. 50c, postpaid. By express or freight, pk., $1.75; half bu. $3.40: bu. $6.50. BURPEE'S STRINGLESS GREEN POD.-Positively stringless; ripens earlier than Valentine and remains crisp and tender a long time after maturing; pods are pale green, long and straight, perfectly round and meaty. This is an excellent variety that will give satis- faction every time. Pkt. 10c; pt. 30c; qt. 50c, postpaid. By express, 4 qts. $1.00; peck $1.75. EARLY MOHAWK.—This variety can be planted very early. It produces large strong vines which bear profusely; it is the hardiest of the early varieties and is a well known green podded sort of established merit. Pkt. 10c; pt. 25c; qt. 40c postpaid. By express, $1.50 per pk. IMPROVED GOLDEN WAX.—Pods rather flat, about four inches ih length and one half inch broad; of light clean yellow, quite brittle with only slight strings when young; plants stiffly erect, bearing large crop of fine pods held well above the soil. Pkt. 10c; pt: 30c; qt. 50cA postpaid. By express, 4 qts. $1.00; peck $1.75. CURRIE'S RUST PROOF WAX.—There has been much attention given to the improvement of the old fashioned wax bean, and this variet3' seems to be one of the best; it is absolutely rust proof: pods great long, flat, and tender and of the finest quality; it is early* productive, and a good all around bean. Pkt. 10c; pt, 30c; qt 50c, postpaid. By express. 4 qts. $1.00; peck $1.75.

CAULIFLOWER, ALLEN'S DWARF FIRST EARLY.—The type cauli- flower most generally planted for market is Allen's Dwarf First Early, of which there has been developed a number of selections showing increased earliness, dwarf short stem growth, with larger finer heads and sure heading tendency; we think our strain of this is un- doubtedly the best. This seed was grown forme in Den- mark where all the finest, best cauliflower seed are pro- duced. I could get cauliflower seed grown on the Pa- cific Coast that I could sell for Jess than half, but feel that it is to my interest to offer only the very best, and consequently we arc offering no cauliflower seed except the best Danish grown. This strain has given splendid results wherever tried, and I can conscientiously recom-
