BURPEE'S NOVELTIES FOR 1895. 5. Of the many New Vegetables first introduced into cultivation by us as ////,< enumerated on page 36 of Farm Annual, seldom has any variety awakened such an extraordinary demand so quickly. Although first introduced in 1890, BURPEE'S SADDLE=BACK seems already to have become recog- nized everywhere as the best Wax Bean in cultivation to=day.
