A FEW SPECIALTIES IN 
VEGETABLE SEEDS—For Forcing. 
oe sa fg ge & 4 a : New Dwarf Forcing Bean. 
TRIUMPH OF THE FRAMES. 
After a second year’s trial of this variety we are convinced 
that it has gained a very high position among the green flageolet 
type. It is very prolific, very dwarf, and produces a mass of 
beautiful pods of rich green and as tender as butter. ‘The pod is 
flat and long, and when dry the shelled beans retain their pale 
green color, which is a very desirable feature. This variety is 
particularly adapted to forcing. It bears its crop in one solid 
mass beneath the foliage and can be picked quickly. Being very 
dwarf, it can be sown in hot-beds for forcing, and can also he 
grown in a small space. In large European establishments for 
the cultivation of vegetables under glass, this sort is grown en- 
tirely in pots. By this means they take up little room, and in 
the conservatory where the temperature does not fall below 55° 
~ \they can be produced during the winter and early spring months 
_gwithout much trovble. Pkt. 15 cts., pint 85 cts., qt. 60 cts., $

Radish “Dreer's Karliest White Globe 
Forcing,” 
The earliest white Radish in existence, bear- 
ing a beautiful oval-shaped Radish, with trans- 
parent ivory-white skin, very small root, also 
small top; flesh white, tender, and crisp. After 
two years’ thorough trial, we are convinced of 
the superior quality of this sort, being one of 
\itthe most attractive varieties of an early forcing type. It is particu- 
| larly adapted to forcing in greenhouse or hot-bed, thus giving a supply 
i through the winter and early spring months; is the quickest maturing 
j sort for open ground during the spring, summer, and fall. The 
\\|] illustration is from a bunch from open ground 18 days after sowing.
