careful selection

than most early 
varieties and are 
inclined to stool or 
branch. The pods 
are of a bright 
green and are filled 
with magnificent 
peas of a most'lus- 
cious character and 
produced in such 
profusion as to al- 
most cover the 
plant. It is at least 
a week earlier than 
Early Dexter and 
varieties of that 
type. Height, 214

nodes above the ground. The pods are usually produced 
in pairs, from 50 to 40 pods to the plant. They are well 
packed with large, luscious peas, of very sweet and splendid 
quality. 
The peas are of very large size, often '% inch in diam- 
eter, when green, and are packed closely together in the 
pods, five tonineina pod. The plants are continuous 
bearers, extending over a period of several weeks.

RED CLUSTER 
PEPPER. 
A distinct and beautiful 
variety. Each branch ter- 
minates in a cluster of very 
conspicuous coral red fruit 
which are extremely pun- 
gent. The clusters are so 
numerous that the plant, at 
a short distance, appears 
entirely red. Simply as a 
decorative plant it will be 
found very useful. Per 
pkt., 10 cts.; oz., 40 cts.

DREER’S BUSH LIMA. 
GIANT PASCAL CELERY. 
NEW CELERY, “GIANT PASCAL.” 
This variety is a selection from the New Golden Self- 
blanching Celery, which has become so popular in the 
last few years; it partakes of the best qualities of that 
variety, but is much larger anda better keeper. It is 
of a fine, nutty flavor. It grows about 2 feet high; 
the stalks are very broad, thick and crisp, and entirely 
stringless; the width and thickness of the stalks are dis- 
tinctive features of this variety. It bleaches with but 
slight “‘earthing up,” and very quickly, usually in five 
or six days. Likely to prove a most valuable variety 
for both early and midwinter use, Per pkt., 10 cts.; oz., 
60 cts. 
DREER’S BUSH LIMA. 
This is a true bush variety of Dreer’s Improved Lima, 
possessing all the good qualities of that excellent and 
well-known sort. The plants grow from 1% to 2 feet in 
height, of vigorous, bushy habit, producing pods in great 
abundance. The beans grow close together in the pods, 
are very thick, sweet and 
succulent, and ripen fully 
ten days earlier than the 
pole Lima. The productive- 
ness of this Bean is marvel- 
lous, and we have received 
specimen plants grown last 
year bearing from 100 to 
185 pods. Per pkt., 20 cts. 
CELESTIAL PEP- 
PER. 
This is not only a most 
useful Pepper, but an ex- 
ceedingly ornamental plant. 
The Peppers at first are of a 
delicate creamy yellow col- 
or, and when fully grown 
change to an intense vivid 
scarlet, making a plant, 
when loaded with fruit part 
of one color and part of an- 
other, an object of the most 
striking beauty and oddity.
