■ ■■ ■ ■ — ^J 



New Ruby Radish 



798 This variety does not attain a large size, but is very attractive 

 and quickly forms the root to a condition suitable for eating. 

 The shape is nearly round, and color of skin deep red; flesh 

 white and very crisp. The tops are not large, and it is a good 

 variety for forcing. Added to its beauty of form and color, 

 together with good quality, is its extended season for use, as it 

 remains in good condition for a long time. Pkt., 10 cts.; oz., 

 20cts.; i lb., SO cts.; lb., $1.75. 



Originator's 

 Golden Self Blanching Celery 



278 A splendid variety of early Celery, requiring but little blanch- 

 ing. The plants grow tall and make a heavy growth, and 

 develop crisp, tender stalks of rich golden yellow, with an 

 almost solid heart of unequaled quality and flavor. We 

 import this seed direct from France, and with the exception of 

 our strain of Golden Plume consider it the finest Golden 

 Celery now being offered. When setting out plants allow 

 slightly more room than is usually given. Pkt., 20 cts.; 

 I oz., 85 cts.; oz., $1.50; i lb., $4.50. 



Earliest Erfurt Kohl-Rabi 



427 This turnip rooted member of the Cabbage family is far super- 

 ior to turnips in both flavor and keeping qualities. The above 

 variety is the best of its class, and equally good for forcing in 

 hotbed or greenhouse as well as for outdoor culture. Forms 

 a very smooth root, nearly white, and is at its best when not 

 more than 2 inches in diameter. Pkt., 10 cts.; § oz., 20 cts.; 

 oz., 30 cts.; lib., 85 cts. 



Globe Tomato 

 Dreer's Select Strain 



Hundredfold Peas 



648 The latest addition to the list of large podded dwarf extra 

 early Peas, and one which we can with confidence recommend. 

 It matures in from 60 to 63 days, and as its name implies it 

 bears an enormous crop of dark green pods containing 7 or 

 8 large peas of very tender quality and fine flavor. The 

 vines grow only to a height of 14 or 16 inches and are easily 

 handled, making it a most desirable sort for the small garden, 

 and also one that should be grown for succession throughout 

 the entire season. Pkt., 15 cts., postpaid; ^ lb., 25 cts.; lb., 

 50 cts.; 2 lbs., 90 cts.; 10 lbs., $4.25. 



Dreer's "Wonderful" Lettuce 



483 Sometimes called "New York" and "Los Angeles." An ex- 

 tremely desirable variety, for aU sections since it withstands 

 extreme heat and forms perfect heads, of enormous size, which 

 resemble cabbage in their solidity, measuring from 12 to 15 

 inches across and frequently weighing 2 to 3 pounds each. 

 The outer leaves tightly overlap, and are rich, dark green in 

 color, while the heart blanches up beautifully, and the quality 

 is superb, being crisp, rich and tender. This is the Lettuce 

 which is grown so largely around Los Angeles and shipped 

 East, where it is eagerly sought by those who appreciate the 

 best quality. It will produce splendid heads either when 

 planted in the spring or during the summer, and may be de- 

 pended upon for all seasons. This fine Lettuce must not be 

 confused with "Iceberg," offered on page 29. Pkt., 10 cts.; 

 § oz., 20 cts.; oz., 35 cts.; i lb., $1.00. 



Giant Lucullus Swiss Chard 



167 An excellent and most useful vegetable, a row. or two of which 

 should be in every garden. This variety will quickly pro- 

 duce plants from which leaves may be cut aU summer, as you 

 can cut right down to the ground, and new shoots will soon 

 spring up and make a fast growth. Those plants which are 

 aUowed to grow will make large curly leaves, with thick light- 

 colored mid-ribs, which are delicious when cooked and served 

 like asparagus, while the leafy parts make excellent "greens." 

 Pkt., 10 cts.; oz., 20cts.; J lb., 50 cts.; lb., $1.50. 



Golden Ponderosa Tomato 



912 Like the original purple fruited Ponderosa, this variety grows 

 to a large size and has the same remarkable good quality 

 and solidity of flesh, but the color is a rich golden yellow. Of 

 very fine appearance when sliced and served with the purple 

 variety, the contrasting colors being very attractive and 

 appetizing. Pkt., 20 cts.; | oz., 65 cts.; oz., $1.00; J lb., 

 $3.50. 



Dreer's Select Strain 

 Globe Tomato 



910 This is fast replacing old Acme in the principle Tomato grow- . 

 ing centres of the south. Over Florida especially, Globe 

 Tomato now rules supreme, since no other variety we know 

 may be picked green, crated and shipped north, arriving in as 

 perfect condition and color as beautiful as the fruits of Globe. 

 Fruits are borne in clusters of 4 to 6. They average 6 ounces 

 each, are perfectly globe-shaped, except in the first clusters on 

 which the largest specimens are inclined to be somewhat flat, 

 showing the Ponderosa blood in this variety. Globe is among 

 the most solid of all tomatoes, of delightfully mild flavor, and 

 of beautiful pink or purple color which never fails to attract 

 the eye on market. Pkt., 20 cts.; | oz., 65 cts.; oz., $1.00; 

 i lb., $3.50.
