Shortage of Beans. 



We regret to have to again report short crops of Dwarf 

 Beans, both green-pod and wax-pod, due to unsuitable 

 weather conditions, and there being no Beans carried over, 

 the supply is smaller than that of last spring. We there- 

 fore advise our customers to secure their supply early, 

 before stocks have become exhausted.
