Wtn. N. Craig, gardener to Mrs. F. L. Ames, writes : — 1 am very much pleased with your new Bean " Triumph oftlie Frames." 1 

 Having tried it as a forcing variety both in pots and frames, I haie found it prolific and from a weektote?i days earlier than otlier varieties 

 grown. Outdoors it also does extremely well, and we were able to pick from it several days in advance of such standard sorts as ' ' Mohawk 

 and Valentine. ," Beine: of very dwarf habit, it can be sown as close as 15 inches between the rows. My employers pronounced this variety 

 the most tender and delicious String Bean they have tasted.

Gentlemen : — It gives me great pleasure to testify to the splen- 

 did results I liave derived from " Triumph of the Frames' 1 '' as a 

 forcing Bean in tJie Greenhouse. It is by far superior to the old 

 varieties. Early Valentine, Mo/iawk, Negro and otlier varieties I 

 have tried in I lie last nine years ; being seven days ear Her, far more 

 prolific and very dwarf. The Bean is a beautiful gree?i color, very 

 tender and flavor first-class. For the frames in the spring it is the 

 only Bean to use. 



Yours very tndy, ERA NK LEITH ,

PE=TSAI, OR CHINESE CABBAGE. 



This plant bears a loose, lettuce-like head of crisp leaves with 

 pure white stalks, which are used like cabbage. It succeeds best in 

 a rather cool, moist soil. Pkt., .05; oz., .20. 



L 



DANISH BALLHEAD CABBAGE. 



The favorite winter cabbage. It is hard as a rock, and a small 

 head will weigh as much as a large head of any other variety. The 

 leaves lap over and make a head in which there is no waste. This 

 is one of the hardiest Cabbages in cultivation and en- 

 dures both irost and drought that would destroy other 

 varieties. Plants, rather long stemmed, but compact; the leaves 

 are very smooth, but thick ; the head is of medium size, round and 

 very solid, being the hardest heading cabbage we know of 

 and of the very best quality. Matures quite late, keeps well 

 and is considered by many the best cabbage to hold over. Our stock 

 is imported direct from Denmark. Inferior strains are sometimes 

 sold as; "Solid Emperor," "German Export," " Hollander," 

 "Amager," etc. Pkt.. .10; oz.,.30; ilb.,*1.00; lb., *3.00.
