NEW DWARF FORCING BEAN 



Triumph of the Frames. 



As a forcing variety this sort is entitled to first place. 

 The plant is very dwarf and compact and can be planted 

 closely together ; it is wonderfully productive, the pods 

 growing in an almost solid mass beneath the foliage, of ex- 

 ceptional flavor and very tender. Mr. W. F. Massey, of 

 the N. C. Experiment Station-, writes us under date of 

 March 11, 1897: "Triumph of the Frames Beans now 

 ready for use and fine crop. Sion House sown same day 

 in same house just in bloom. Yellow six-weeks sown same 

 day in same house just showing flower." Pkt. 15 cts.; pint 

 35 cts.; quart 60 cts. 



CAUEIFEOWER. 



DREER'S Earliest Snow-Storm. The earliest 

 and best of all for forcing. It is dwarf, with short outer 

 leaves, and can be planted two feet apart each way ; 

 always sure to make large fine heads 

 earlier than any other, and is the market 

 gardener's favorite. This variety must 

 be kept growing constantly, as it will 

 not stand a check at any- 

 period of its growth. 

 Pkt. 25 cts., oz. 85.00,
