Cultivated both for use and ornament. The seed pods, which resemble capers, are gathered while green and tender for pickling, and the leaves are used for mixing with salads. Sow early in the spring, in drills about 1 incli deep, in light rich soil, when all danger of frost is over; train the Tall on brush, trellises, or fences, and grow the Dwarf in beds. The flowers are very beautiful and of varying shades of yellow, brown, orange and scarlet. Tall Orange. The most profitable pickling variety. Pkt. 5 cts., oz. 15 cts., i lb. 50 cts., lb. .Sl.'50.

They may also be grown to full size during the first season by sowing thinly in drills 1 foot apart, and about i inch deep, in March, or early in April, in strong land, well manured, and thinning them out to stand 3 or 4 inches apart in the drills, keejiing them well hoed and free from weeds; for this purpose the Red Wethersfield and Yellow Danvers are usuall
