BEAN. Crystal White Wax. 



A beautiful and distinct variety of Bush Bean, of recent 

 Introduction. It produces pods of fair size, of exceedingly 

 ricli and tender flavor; in color wa.xy wlilte, and almost as 

 transparent as glass. It is a strlngless variety, very product- 

 ive, and the pod.s, tliough qukl; to develop, are slow to hard- 

 en, and thus retain their tenderness on the bush for a long 

 time.

BEAN. Gallega (Or Large Refugee). 



For many years the well-known Refugee Bush Bean has 

 been a standard sort, whether grown for market or lor pri- 

 vate use. This variety Gallega (or as we should prefer to call 

 it. Large Refugee) is an improved form of the parent variety, 

 being not only much more prolific, but both pods and beans 

 are ranch larger in size than In the old sort.

CORN, Stiuantum Sugar. 



A variety of Corn in great favor with the well-known Squan- 

 tum Club, of Silver Spring, R. I., and used almost exclusively 

 by them in their famous clambakes. It is about as early as 

 the Moore's Concord, tlie ears being the same size. Us qual- 

 ity is of the best. Very sweet, and wonderfully productive, 

 producing 4 to 5 ears on a stalk.

CABBAGE. Early Jersey Wakefield. 



This variety (shown above) was originated over 35 years ago 

 by one of our New Jersey market gardeners, who held almost 

 a monopoly of it until our work " Gardening for Profit " was 

 published in 1S06. From that time it has been ditfused over 

 every part of the Union, and in nearly every section Is classed 

 as being the best Early Cabbage in cidtlvation. The stock we 

 ofl'er is grown by one of the original cultivators of it, and it is 

 undoubtedly one of the best strains existing. (See Special 

 J^zes for best Vegetables in Introductory.)

 It forms a rather curious, novel-looking fruit, the lining oi 

 which is sometimes utilized as a dish-cloth.

PEA, Culverwell's Telegraph. 



A very valuable new variety, so distinct in appearance as 

 to appear as a new type. It is a second early variety, a cross 

 between Veitch's Perfection and Laxton's ProliSc, a strong 

 grower, producing large pods, containing 10 to 11 very large 

 peas in each pod; the peas are often so close together as to 

 look like forming a double row In the pod; height 5 feet; the 

 peas cooked are a deep green color, and of very fine flavor.
