other vegetables too old, worthless. Price Gd. and Is. per packet. 
SAVOY, NEW DWARF SPROUTING ULM.

tho editors of the Gardeners' Chronicle. The following is their opinion ( see Number for 6th April, 
1SG7) : — “The Brussels Sprouts sent are ‘run’ and wholly worthless, while the Sprouts on the 
Savoy are numerous, large, firm, and excellent.” Price 1$. per packet.
