the pole, and the bearing season continues without in¬ 
terruption until frost. The pods are large and well 
filled; the beans are of mammoth size and very delicious.

acteristic of Dreer’s Bunch Lima, with the exception 
that it is a pole variety, and the pods aud beans are 
somewhat larger. It is one of the best for either family 
use or market. You should give this new improvement

ALLEN’S DWARF FIRST EARLY—The type 
flower most generally planted for market is Allen’s 
Dwarf First Early, of which there have been developed 
a number of selections showing increased earliness, 
dwarf short stem growth, with larger, finer heads, and 
sure heading tendency. We think our strain of this is 
undoubtedly the best. This seed was grown for me in 
Denmark, where all th6 finest, best cauliflower seed are 
produced. I could get cauliflower seed grown oh the 
Pacific Coast that 1 could sell for less than half, but feel 
that it is to my interest to offer only the very best, and 
consequently we are offering no cauliflower seed except 
toe best Danish grown. This strain has given splendid 
results wherever tried, and I can conscientiously recom¬ 
mend this as being the very best type to be had anywhere 
at any price. All my customers, whether they grow for 
the home table or for market purposes, are especially 
requested to give this cauliflower a trial. Packet 15c*

EARLY JERSEY WAKEFIELD.—This is no doubt the 
best first early cabbage in cultivation; it forms fine, solid 
heads of good size, conical in shape, with very few out¬ 
side leaves; the quality is of the best. We offer this as

ALL SEASONS, or VANDERGRAW. — As early as 
Drumhead cabbage, yielding heads of the largest size; 
very desirable for early spring, summer or fall use. I 
have been growing this cabbage for a number cif years, 
and it has always been a favorite with me. Pkt. 5e; oz.

WINNINGSTADT.—This is another old and famous 
cabbage; season early, sharp-pointed heads, of highest 
quality. It is said to be less liable to the attacks of vhe 
cabbage worm than most other varieties, on account of 
its Heading qualities. It is a splendid 
variety for summer use and also exce- 
lent for winter use where planted late.

EARLY ETAMPSE.—This admirib’e 
early cabbage has come into very wide 
fame within the last few years. It. is 
ten days to two weeks earlier .than 
most other early varieties; it forms a 
fine, hard, pointed bead of extra qu n 
ity; it has a short sf e m and g r .vs c -e 
to the ground, and bv reason of ha\ m : 
so few outer (loose) leaves, the ^ hints 
may be set 18 inches apart in rows 2>< 
to 3 feet apart. With good soil and high 
culture almost every plant mikes a 
head. The Etampse is in every way one 
of the most desirable first early varie¬ 
ties. Plants set in M'rch will pr( duce 
marketable heads by the first of June.
