each imagine what its crop will be like. Similar charm is 

 offered by the Runners, the scarlet as well as the white. They 

 have clear and solid colors and the crop of beans to be har-

 dwarf ones and take advantage of the many varieties which 

 our seed firms now place upon the market. This vine more

 the coming season, and can we instil more noble ideas into 

 its young mind than to encourage such traits in it ?

 intruder may have spared. 



Of fruit-bearing vines, the

form a group by themselves, and are to play an important 

 part in our kindergarten setting. The berries should be so
