The pods and green beans are as large as those of the King of the Garden Lima and of better quality, a decided improve- ment in large Limas and cannot fail to become a favorite. Pkt. 10c, pt. 30c., qt. 45c, pk. $2.00. Old Homestead. An excellent green podded variety: enormously productive, t*he long pods hanging in great clusters along the entire vine, and are en- tirely stringless; they cook very tender and melt- ing. Pkt. 10c, pt. 30c, qt. 45c, pk. $2.00. Early Golden Cluster Wax. The finest of all the wax podded -pole beans. It bears profusely its long golden-yellow pods in clusters of three to s'ix from bottom to top of pole, and continues in bearing from the middle of July till the vines are cut by frost. In all the points requisite to a good bean for market this variety excels. It is distinct in its white seed, in color and habit of growth. The pods retain their tenderness long after the beans have attained a large size. Pkt. 10c, pt. 30c, qt. 45c.; pk. $2.00. Scarlet Runner. Chiefly grown for its brilliant scar- let flowers, which are borne in long racemes from July to October. Pkt. 10c, pt. 30c, qt. 50c Large White Lima. The old standard variety, early and productive; beans very large and of good flavor. Pkt. 10c, pt. 30c, qt. 45c, pk. $1.75. BROCCOLI. Purple Cape. The best variety for our climate. It produces large heads of brownish purple color, very close and compact. Pkt. 5c, oz. 35c
