 low color. Quart, 25c. Peek, $1.50. Bushel, $6.00. 



Dwarf German Wax. — One oif the finest of Snap-S'horts, and the oldest of the Wax varieties; 

 pods transparent, -waxy yellow, and snap like pipe-stems ; boil as rich as butter, and, when highly sea- 

 soned, are luscious ; they are thick and very tender, entirely stringless, and fully as early as the Valentine.
