The bulbs are pure white and of very mild flavor, also equally as good for keeping as the Yellow Globe. It is good for use as a medium crop, but most valuable when grown for the main crop, as the flesh is re- markably firm and solid. It is an enormous yielder, and as it is very attrac- tive, always sells at high prices. It is best to dry these onions in a shady place, and give them plenty of air. Pkt., 15 cts.; J oz., 25 cts.; oz., 45 cts.: Jib., $; lb., $ Lax ton's Progress Pea (See colored plate opposite) 650 The most recent introduction of real merit into the list of large pod dwarf peas, and an ideal sort for the small home garden where space is at a premium. "Progress" grows but 18 inches high, but the vines are exceedingly vigorous and produce the largest pods of any extra early sort. Pods average 4J inches long and are well filled with 8, 9 or 10 deep green, large peas, of de- lightful flavor. Ready for gathering within 60 days from the time seeds are sown, being a few days earlier than either Hundredfold or Laxtonian, the previous leaders in this class. It is fairly hardy and may be planted almost as early as the hardier smooth-seeded varieties. Pkt., 15 cts.; \ lb., 30 cts.; lb., 50 cts.; 2 lbs., 95 cts.; 5 lbs., $, prepaid. Dreer's "Rainbow" Pepper (See colored plate opposite) 734 A most interesting, ornamental, and at the same time practical addition to the varieties now offered. Plants are strong and vigorous, with an abundance of glossy, dark green foliage, bear- ing fruits long
