"Green Nutmeg
"This is a very old melon, described by Burr in 1863 as a variety that had already been in cultivation for a long time. Melons are small, 2 lb., with a flattened oval shape. Skin is yellowish brown, flecked with green. Flesh is light green. Very sweet, spicy flavor and aromatic. Produces early, so is good for northern climates.

"Christmas Pole Lima
"The Christmas Pole Lima Bean is a speckled pole lima bean that was first cultivated in the United States around 1840. It is grown for its beautiful seeds which are cream, heavily speckled with deep maroon. The beans have a buttery texture and a rich nutty flavor. They can be used green shelled or dry and they keep their colors even after cooking. The plants are very aggressive growers reaching a height of 10 feet and producing large quantities of 4-6 inch pods each of which contains 4-5 beans. The plants do well in hot and humid conditions."

I tried a different CPU on a dialup (have DSL at home), and it worked out; the FelcoPruners / Harvest Moon website worked, and the seeds have arrived.
