Small White Kima. —Resembles the Large Lima in growth, 
but is not equal to it in rich, buttery flavor. It is earlier, more 
hardy, and surer to produce a crop. Seeds, smaller, white, and 
quite flat. It is a good substitute for the Large Lima in locali¬ 
ties where it does not mature well, on account of early frosts... 15c. 
Horticultural or Speckled. Cranberry. —A popular va¬ 
riety for private use; equally serviceable in the green state or 
when shelled... . 10c. 
Indian Chief, or Wax. —One of the best varieties either for 
snaps, or shelled ; remarkable for its fine, tender, and richly- 
colored pods; very productive. 10c. 
Hed Cranberry. —This is one of the oldest and most familiar 
of garden beans; excellent as a string or snap bean. 10c. 
White Case-Knife. —Is the most prolific of the running varie¬ 
ties. Asa shell bean, it is of excellent quality in its green state, 
and, when ripe, one of the best dry. 10c.

as an ornamental plant, and a useful vegetable. It grows to the 
height of ten feet, producing dazzling scarlet flowers from July 
to October... 15c.

BORECOLE, or KALE. 
“Borecole,” “Kale,” or “Green Kale,” are general terms applied to 
the class of Cabbage which does not head, but is used as an esculent 
in their open growth. When used, the crown or the centre of the 
plant is cut off so as to include the leaves, which usually do not ex¬ 
ceed nine inches in length. It boils well, and is most tender, sweet 
and delicate, provided it has been duly exposed to frost.

Green Curled Scotch. —The kind most generally cultivated. It 
is very hardy, and like the Savoys, is improved by a moderate frost. 
The stem rises about two feet, and produces an abundance of dark 
green curled and wrinkled leaves... 5c. 15c. 
BROCCOLI. 
Broccoli is nearly allied to the Cauliflower, and may be regarded 
as a variation of that delicious vegetable. It is hardy and surer to 
head, but inferior in flavor. 
Per pkt. Oz. 
Early Purple Cape. —This is the most valuable kind for the North, 
producing large, close heads, of a brownish purple, and has an ex¬ 
cellent flavor.. 5c. 50c. 
White Cape. —A later sort, and should be sown at the North very 
early in the spring. The heads, when perfected, are large, white, 
and compact, so nearly resembling the Cauliflower that it is some¬ 
times called ‘‘Cauliflower Broccoli”. 5c. 50c.
