HEAN, GIANT DWARP, 
KMPKUOK ^VILLTAM IMI’ROVKD. 
Bean, Giant Dwarf, Emperor William Im- 
proved — This novelty seems to be {(ualiiied to supersede tlie old 
JCtiifieror William Kean ; its pods attain an ustonisliiog length, even to 
10 inches, and therctriih is this variety quite os early and luoreprolilic 
than the original sort ; a line improvement. Per sealed pkt., l.v. 6rf. 
Beetroot, Finest Half-long, Nigger — Hoa quite the 
darkest flesh of any variety now in commerce, and is of a deep almo.st 
black-red colour. The root itself is of a nice long thin form, and the 
foliage of a reddish dark-green hue; highly recommended as a 
market variety. Per pkt., 1». Gd. 
Cucumber, Veitch’s Sensation— The result of a 
cross between relegrnji/i and Matchless ; it is quite distinct from either 
parent, combining the fine shape and colour of Matchless with the 
free fruiting qualities of Telegrajih ; smooth and perfect in outline, 
with a scarcity of neck; handsome dark green colonr; a free cropper 
and of excellent flavour. Pirst-Class Certificate, U.H.S. Per pkt.,

Melon, Royal Sovereign — liaised by Mr. Thomas, 
Royal Gardens, Windsor, who describes it as follows : — “ It is a cros,s 
between Seechwoiid iiad Royal Ascot, having the fine flavonr of tlie 
former with the well-known robnst character of the latter. It is of 
a free setting nature, finishing off a heavier weight of crop than any 
Melon I know. The fruit averages about C> lbs., occasionally rising 
to 8 lbs., of a beautiful golden yellow, slightly netted, flesh white, 
faintly tiuged green; very deep; rind very thin. An Award of 
Merit, 11. H.S. Per pkt., 2s. Gi/. 
nKKTUOOT, “ NIOOKR." 
Onion, New Pedigree, The Aristocrat — As a cross between A ilsa Craig and Rousham Park Hero this will be welcomed us an acquisition, 
iLs nmcli for its large size and handsome apjicarance as for its long-keeping qualities and mild and delicate flavour. It has been carefully selected for the 
past four years, and comes very true to type, which is a deep fiat — in fact, approaching to a globe shape. In colonr it is a light straw, neck very small, 
Blioulder well uji and very solid in texture. It will also prove extremely valuable for ordinary .spring sowing from its great solidity and good keeping 
qimliiies. It has lieen grown up to 3 lbs. iu weight. Per pkt., 2s. Gd.
