Mary Washington Asparagus 



12 This is a selection from the Washington showing a marked improvement in every 

 respect. It is much larger than the ordinary strain and is slightly earlier. The tips 

 are very compact and are a rich purplish-green and the whole stalk, from base to tip 

 is remarkably tender. Pkt., 20 cts.; § oz., 30 cts.; oz., 50 cts.; } lb., §1.50; lb.,

Dwarf Golden Carmine Wax Bean 



70 A new bean of the Horticultural type, which can be used either as a snap or shell 

 bean. When mature, the large seed is excellent for baking. Ready for the table as 

 a snap bean in about 60 days, and as a shell bean about 10 days later. At all stages 

 the pod is stringless and tender. Pods are large, broad, long and golden yellow, 

 splashed with carmine, and seed is large kidney-shaped, buff colored, and mottled.

Dreer's Wonder Bush Lima 



111 Very desirable on account of earliness, productiveness and its fixed habit of growing 

 in the dwarf or bush form. The plants are of strong, upright growth, and are com- 

 pletely covered with large pods, many of which contain four beans fully as large 

 as those of the pole limas. The beans are flat and broad and are superior in flavor 

 to the round thick seeded varieties. One enthusiastic customer wrote that we 



might well call it 

 "Wonder," be- 

 cause it could 

 be planted as 

 late as May 30, 

 and would yield 

 bountiful crops.

M.\RY W.^sHiNGTox Asparagus 



Dreer's Special Crosby's Egyptisui 

 Beet 



145 This special selection of extra early Beet is as great an im- 

 provement over the ordinary Crosby Egyptian as the latter 

 variety is over the old-time Egj'ptian Blood Turnip Beet and 

 is valuable both for the private gardener and the amateur, on 

 account of its reliability to produce a uniform crop of best 

 quality. In the production of this seed, selection is not only 

 made for shape, but also for extreme earliness and high quality. 

 The skin is very smooth, bright red and flesh-vermfllion, very 

 sweet and tender. Pkt., 10 cts.; oz., 20 cts.; J lb., 50 cts.; lb., 

 SI. 75. 



Wong Bok Chinese Cabbcige 



222 Of the approximately ten varieties of Chinese cabbage which 

 we know, this is easily the most worth-while. It really is not a 

 cabbage but a Mustard, forming a compact, elongated, tightly 

 folded head. Well grown heads of Wong Bok will weigh 

 from 5 to 8 lbs. and are good all the way through. They are 

 delicious served as a salad with a French dressing, or served 

 like Cold Slaw, with Maj'onnaise. The green portion of the 

 leaves may also be served like Spinach, while the heavy 

 midribs with a boiled dressing are very palatable like Swiss 

 Chard, or Asparagus. Wong Bok is entirely self folding and 

 the heads need no tying up or blanching of any kind. Especially 

 valuable as an early Fall vegetable. Should not be sown 

 before August 1. Pkt., 10 cts.; J oz., 30 cts.; oz., 50 cts.; J 

 lb., S1.50. 



Dry- Weather Cauliflower 



256 A fine variety of Cauliflower, especially adapted for growing 

 in the open ground in sections subjected to long, dry seasons, 

 as it will grow well and produce the finest heads in spite of the 

 . lack of moisture, which is required by other sorts. The heads 

 grow to a large size, are very solid, pure white and of delicious 

 flavor. It is not suited for forcing or growing under glass, but 

 it will prove valuable in the Southern States, where the climate 

 is hot and where long seasons of dry weather are experienced. 

 Pkt., 25 cts.; i oz., $1.75; J oz., $3.00; oz., $5.50.
