It was tested in our grounds, planted May 15th, and the pods were well filled and fit lor the table June 22d, or forty days from time of planting. It is a blue pea, very sweet and delicate flavor, uniform in growth, quite prolific, and we believe market gardeners and cauners will find this variety most valuable. We have only a limited supply. Price, '25c per lb. Cleveland's R. N. Y. Pea—This variety has been thoroughly tested. It is among the earliest and most prolific, of robust branching habit, and verj- hardy. It ripens uniformly, so that ninety per cent of pods can be gathered at one picking. There are six to eight peas to the pod of the finest quality for table use. Price, 25c per lb. Cleveland's Improved Round-pod Valentine Bean—Takes the place of all others for green snap beans. It is earlier and more prolific, pods verj' tender and fleshy, and continues longer in this state than others. It is also one of the best for pickling. Price, 25c per lb. The Eclipse Beet—This new variety is as early as the Egj-ptiau, larger, and of much finer quality. It is globe-shaped, and of a fine bright crimson color and small top. Price, .$ per lb; 10c per ounce. Henderson's Wliite Plume Celery—Is quite an acquisition. The stalk and portions of inner leaf and heart are white, and it requires less care in drawing together and tying and earthing up for blanching than all other varieties. It is also more orna- mental for the table, the disposition of the inner leaves resembling the ostrich plume. It is quite early, and of fine nutty flavor. Price, $4 per lb; 50c per ounce. Early Snowball Cauliflower—This is supposed to be the ear
