Perfect Gem Squash. 



Thi? remirkable variety, after a thorough trial, has proved to be most 

 valuable and di.stinct. It is found to be equally desirable either as a sum- 

 mer or winter Squash, as it possesses the best features of both classes. It 

 is a strong grower and a large yielder, as many as 24 Squashes having 

 been produced from a single vine. The Squashes are from 4 to 6 inches in 

 diameter, of a cieamy white, with thin, smootii shell, slightly ribbed. The 

 Hesh, cooked, is dry, sweet and rich in flavor and free from the strong taste 

 often found in winter sorts. It is a splendid keeper, and in a cool, dry 

 room, free from frost, it may be kept until spring. 



5 cts. per pkt. ; 15 cts. per oz. ; 50 cts. per J lb. ; $1.50 per lb. 



Newer Sorts of Bush Beans. 

 Ivory Pod Wax Beans. 



We made a very thorough trial of nearly all known bush beans in 

 cultivation last season, and of the entire lot we considered this one of the 

 most distinct and best. It is certainly a week earlier than the Black Wax, 

 and the pods are long and almost of a transparent waxy white color, and 

 entirely stringless. In tenderness it excels almost all other sorts. The 

 beans when ripe are medium size, white and oval. It is an excellent 

 shelled bean for winter use. 



15 cts. per pkt. ; 40 cts. perqt.; $3.00 per peck. 



PEKFECT Gem squash. 



Canadian Wonder Beans. 



Produces very large pods, which are borne in the greatest abundance, very fleshy and exceedingly tender when ;,^ 

 cooked. Excellent as an exhibition variety. 15 cts. per pkt. ; 40 cts. per qt ; $3.00 per peck. ' 



Golden Refugee Beans. 



An improvement on the old Refugee. Pods perfectly round and of a very light color. It is particularly well 

 suited for pickling. The seed of this variety in appearance is quite distinct from the old Refugee. 



15 cts. per pkt. : 40 cts. per qt; ; $3.00 per peck.
