BROCCOLI, APRIL QUEEN.— One of the finest sorts yet introduced; ready for use in s. d. 
April and May. The heads are very large, are beautifully white and delicately 
flavoured ; the leaves are large and abundant, folding closely over and perfectly 
protecting the flower * u 8ea l e, l P^ts. 
BROCCOLI, METHYEN'S JUNE.— This is the latest Broccoli in cultivation, producing 
fine pure white heads till nearly the end of June. It is very hardy, standing the winter 
better than any other sort. Sow in April, and plant out as soon as ready. In sealed pkts. 
TOMATO, CHALLENGER.— Granted an Award of Merit by the Worshipful Company 
of Fruiterers at the Guildhall Exhibition, 1890.— This is, without doubt, a great 
acquisition to this popular vegetable. As proof of its superiority we may mention that 
out of nearly thirty varieties exhibited at the Great Fruit Exhibition at the Guildhall 
recently, only two were deemed worthy of certificates, Challenger being one of them. 
The fruits are borne continuously in clusters of eight, ten, and sometimes more, are ol 
medium size, very solid and heavy, bright scarlet colour, excellent flavour, very fleshy, 
and with but little core, a grand exhibition or market kind — in fact, the nearest approach 
to perfection in the Tomato of any we have yet seen. It is alike good under glass or in 
the open, but is preferable for indoor culture on account of its tall growth and profuse 
bearing qualities ••• per pkt.

PEA. — THE STANLEY. — The raiser claims 
for it the following advantages; — 
1st. It has a beautiful, large, well-filled pod, 
larger than those of Stratagem, or nearly as 
large as Telephone. 
2nd. It is a tremendous cropper. 
3rd. It has a dwarf stocky vine, and needs no 
sticking. 
4th. It is very sweet, inheriting from both 
parents ( American Wonder and Telephone) 
their delicacy of flavour. As seen in the field, 
growing with other standard varieties, it is con- 
spicuous for its large foliage, its strong, stocky 
growth, and the abundance of large, handsome, 
pods. Ill rich soil it grows about 18 inches 
high, and the full-grown pods often measure 
four inches in length by over two inches in 
circumference. Eight green pods weighed a 
quarter of a pound. They mature very evenly, 
so that almost the entire crop can be taken at 
one picking. 
In sealed packets, Is. each.
