Dalkeith Brussels 
Sprouts 
245 A very excellent selection of this estimable vege- 
table, far too little known to American gardeners. 
Sown in June in the latitude of New York, it produces 
an abundant crop of Sprouts—solid, succulent and 
delicious—in the fall.and early winter. It is hardier 
than Cabbage, just as easily grown, and available 
long after all other green vegetables are gone. (See 
engraving.) Price, 15c. pkt., 60c. oz., $2.00 14 Ib. 
Cultural directions are given in Cabbage Leaflet, sent 
free uf asked for when ordering.

“Last year was the first time I ever planted a garden with your seeds. 
I had all the vegetables I could possibly use from June until fall, and 
we canned enough to last until the spring again. We were still picking 
Dalkeit Brussels Sprouts in December. Although your seeds are the 
first I have ever used, the results were so good, that I don’t care to try 
any other brand.”

a Unrivalled Wax Dwarf or Bush Bean 
The Earliest Wax Podded Variety Grown. Creamy Yellow Wax Pods Without Rust. Symmetrical Shape. Attractive Color. 
56. This is a comparatively new variety, but has come very rapidly into 
general favor. It is in our opinion a decided acquisition. 
~ The plant is strong, dwarf, not too strongly branching, with large, almost 
smooth, lustrous green leaves. It bears an enormous crop of pods of a most 
beautiful semi-transparent pale yellow color. This color is maintained clear 
to the tips without any suggestion of green. The pods are about six inches 
long and almost straight, but with the valuable characteristic of curving 
slightly at the ends toward maturity, thus avoiding contact with the 
_ ground, and preventing liability to rust and rot, also preserving intact the 
natural beauty of the pod. Z 
Itis above all else the earliest Wax Bean within our knowledge. We have 
- found it two days earlier than any other in our trials, which alone renders it 
extremely valuable. The color develops very early in the growth of the 
pods, which remain tender for a long period. The flavor is excellent, and 
' both plant and pod are singularly free from rust and blight. (See engrav- 
tng.) Price, 15c. pkt., 40c. pt., 70c. qt., $2.50 for half peck. 
2 The Hodson Long Pod Wax, 
ot 
See Dwarf or Bush Bean 
Enormous Yielder. Never Affected by Rust or Blight 
- 50. This distinct new type of bean is remarkable for its great size of plant 
'. and pod and wonderful productiveness. It will outyield any other bush 
' bean two to one on a given area. The strong, sturdy plants often attain 
dimensions 2 44 feet in height, and bear great quantities of long, meaty pods, 
measuring 7 to 8 inches in length and of a waxy cream-yellow color. The 
ample foliage sheltering the pods from the hot sun renders them excep- 
tionally tender, brittle, and if picked before too old they are stringless, free 
- from fibre and of fine table quality. ; . 
This variety is remarkably free from bean diseases. Not a trace of rust, 
blight or mildew has ever appeared on a plant or pod in our trial grounds or 
_ fields during the years we have been growing*%it—and the past season was 
especially favorable for developing rust and blight on beans. The.Hodson 
- Long Pod Wax comes in about two weeks after the earliest dwarf varieties, 
but for main crop it is destined to become important for both the private 
table and for market growers on account of its phenomenal vigor and pro- 
ductiveness. The plants should be thinned out to at least 6 inches apart 
~ in the rows on account of the great size of the plants. Price, 15c. pkt., 
| 40-c. pt., 70c. qt-, $2.50 for half peck. 
~ Curries Rust-Proof Wax, 
Dwarf or Bush Bean 
2 Early, Hardy, Productive, Rust-proof 
36. Curries rust-proof wax bean is the earliest, hardiest, and one of the 
most prolific of the flat wax-pod beans. It is clear golden yellow in color and 
the pods are long, straight and flat. A “thick flat” podded variety produc- 
ing bountiful crops; but its most valuable characteristic is-its freedom from 
rust. Price, 10c. pkt., 35c. pt., 60c. qt-, $2.20 for half peck.
