BROAD BEANS. 
• (Faba vulgaris.) Leguminosje. 
CULTURE. For an early crop, a sowing should be made of Mazngan in October or November on well drained 
coil. The main crop should be sown in February, and others to follow up to the end of May. Sow in drills, about 
i inches deep, the beans to be 3 inches apart, and the drills 2 to 3 feet apart. The ground dug and well manured, lo 
ensure well-filicd pods it is a good plan to pinch off the leading tops as soon as the lower pods begin to set.

Beck’s Dwarf Green Gem— An excellent dwarf sort, only one foot high 2 f> 
Cannells’ Exhibition Long 1 Pod — This is undoubtedly the finest and most productive Long 
Pod Broad Bean we have ever seen, and is by far the best Bean in cultivation for exhibition. We 
have had pods measuring one foot in length well filled with beans, and are quite confident it is a splendid 
introduction ... ... ••• ••• ••• ••• •••

on the old variety

HAKLINGTON WINDSOB BEAN. 
RUNNER OR CLIMBING BEANS. 
(Pliaseolus multi/lorus.) Leguminos,®. 
CULTURE. —It is a common mistake to plant these too early. Sowings may be made in April, under glass, 
and tbe plants put out about the middle of May where they are to stand. If, however, they are to be sown in the open 
ground do not put them in until the first week in May and again in June and July. This is the vegetable for a 
hot and dry season When thickly mulched and watered they will bear heavily, and deserve all the labour of 
watering afforded them. They should be occasionally topped, to induce side growth, and if possible stakes or 
supports of some kind should be used as it allows of much finer growth and increased production of pods..

Cannells’ Scarlet — A great improvement upon the old variety, produces very long pods, flesh and 
tender ; a heavy cropper 
Cannells’ Ne Plus Ultra— The best for exhibition and main crop, producing an enormous quantity 
of extraordinary pods of splendid form, from 10 to 14 inches long, and quite straight. To grow it to 
perfection each bean should be planted 1 J feet apart in the rows 
Cannells’ White Czar— Is an enormous podded white runner Bean, the pods of which run from 12 to 
16 inches in length, are very thick, fleshy, and almost stringless, oftcu 2 inches in diameter, 
and produced in clusters. It is also somewhat earlier and hardier than the Scarlet Runner. The 
tendency of the Czar is to form thick fleshy pods and few seeds, and no other Bean approximates this 
for size, quality, and productiveness, and although the pods reach an immense size, the flavour is 
extremely delicate 
Champion — A select stock of tho old Scarlet Runner 
Giant White— A wonderful cropper, long pods, which are very tender ; a capital exhibition variety 
Painted Lady— Very handsome, scarlet and white flowers ; very ornamental as well as useful 
“Titan” The Al Scarlet Runner. Raised from a very fine selection of the White Czar crossed with 
the Girtjord Giant. Titan is a great advance on both its parents. The enormous yet handsome broad 
and straight pods, produced in clusters, are quite as large as those of the Czar, but straighter; very 
fleshy, and almost stringless up to maturity, and when cooked are of great delicacy. No other Scarlet 
Runner Bean approaches this in size, appearance, and productiveness. Easily gathered, and the growth 
being rapid, the pods may be eaten of considerable size, the fleshy portion largely predominating 
even in full-sized pods ; the great breadth of the pod also renders them better adapted for slicing. 
Titan is also a very hardy Bean, and the seed, which is very large, ripens earlier than that of the 
Czar, rendering this’ new variety not only the finest but the most useful and profitable to grow either 
for table or market, while for exhibition purposes it is unequalled ... u per pkt.

The produce of your seeds was very successful at the flower shows, having gained three first and two second prizes. 
Mr. W. Lock, Rocklands, Ross, February 13M, 1893. 
I must tell you that the cottagers for whom I got the seed were delighted with the quantity and quality for the price.
