CANyBLia’ BEST OF AIX OE CHAMPION. 
cannbli.b’ cakuot, uobekts’ winner. 
Cannells’ Carrot, Roberts’ Winner— This 
will be found a S[)leudid strain and selection, producing handsome 
well-shaped Ci'iiots, and quite distinct from any variety we liave 
previously oSered. It belongs to the stump-rooted class and is of 
splendid colonr and flavour. Will be undoubtedly found a most 
popular exhibition variety, and also for uses connected with the 
table. The skin is of a clear rich bright red colour, flesh close iu 
texture, and of very fine flavour; a valuable kind for market 
purposes, and indispensable where verj' early crop is wanted. It 
has also given very satisfactory results when forced. A superior 
novelty. In scaled pkts., I.'-, lid. per oz. 
CABBAGE EETTOCE, “ KANSEN, OR 
NORTH POLE.” 
Brussels Sprouts, “Hercules” — a splendid new sort, 
excelling all others by its reliability upon an always large crop, and which 
never failed during the past six years, while other sorts often were a 
complete failure owing to unsuitable weather. It is of medium height 
and wonderful stontness. Spronts arc arranged iu spiral rows around 
the stem, surprising everybody by the immense productiveness and the 
vigour of their appearance. There is no doubt “ Hercules ” will soon beat 
all the old sorts by its unrivalled steadiness in superiority. Per pkt., Is. 
Lettuce-Cabbage, “Nansen, or North Pole”— 
Among the many existing sorts of Cabbage-Lettuces only a few endure 
sometimes in a well-sheltered place and resist the severe frosts, whereas 
this variety during the last four winters has proved a surprising resistance 
against rough weather, even in a very exposed position. In the winter 
of 1894 a large plantation of it was inundated, and a strong frost covered 
the water with over one inch of ice. However, soon afterwards the planf.s 
proved quite undamaged, and formed in the earliest Spring time nice firm 
medium-sized heads of yellowish-green colour and finest tenderness as 
rarely foniid with other sorts. Per pkt., Is. 
Broad Bean, Can- 
nells’ Best of All or 
Champion — Unlike most 
of the varieties in this class, 
the abote novelty not only 
produces very long pods, but 
it is also a great cropper, 
commencing at the bottom 
growth of stems, and con- 
tinues to within three inches „ 
of the top ; of handsome and “busbels sproois, Hercules.” 
uniform shape and splendid flavour. For exhibition and fable 
purposes it is, iu onr opinion, unsurpassable and second to none ; 
strongly recommended. Per pkt., Is. (if/.
