DREBR'S ARISTOCRAT 



SUGAR CORN. 



This delicious Sweet Corn was first introduced by us 

 a few years ago. It is a reliable extra early sort, which 

 was for many years controlled by a prominent gardener 

 who supplies truck to the aristocrats of Newport, R. I. 

 He would not allow any of the seed to get into the hands 

 of his competitors, thus having a monopoly, and as it 

 was the finest Sweet Corn that came to the market, he 

 found no difficulty in disposing of all he raised. It is 

 an extra early variety, ripening with the Cory; stalks 

 grow 4 to tj feet high and ears are of large size, measur- 

 ing 8 to 10 inches in length. The grains are extremely 

 sweet, and, being decidedly broad, allow of easy scoring 

 with a knife preparatory to buttering when eating from 

 the cob. Pkt., 10 cts., by mail. By express or freight, 

 at purchaser's expense, pt., 20 cts.; qt., 35 cts. (If pints 

 or quarts are wanted by Parcel Post add postage as per 

 page 22); 4qts., $1.10; peck, $2.00. 



GOLDEN DA^VN 



SUGAR CORN. 



A few years back there was much prejudice against 

 yellow-grained Sugar Corn, but owing to the delicious 

 quality of the newer^varieties of recent introduction, 

 they are rapidly gaining in popularity. This is an 

 extra early yellow-grained variety, but when one gets 

 the sweet, delicious taste, the color of grain is forgotten. 

 .Stalks about 5 feet high and bear 2 and 3 ears, free 

 from smut and filled out to the extreme tip. Pkt., 10 

 cts. by mail. By express or freight, at purchaser's ex- 

 pense, pt., 20 cts.; qt., 35 cts. (If pints or quarts are 

 ■wanted by Parcel Post add postage as per page 22); 

 4qts., $1.10; peck, $2.00. 



FINOCCHIO, OR 



FLORENCE FENNEE. 



A delicious vegetable which should be more largely 

 grown in this country. It is extensively used in Italy 

 as a salad, and also may be served boiled. When the 

 enlargement of leaf stalk, at base of stem, is about ihe 

 rsize of a hen's egg it should be earthed up so as to 

 K;over half of it, and in about ten days cutting may be 

 commenced and continued as the plants increase in 

 :growth. The flavor is somewhat like celery, but it has 

 a sweet taste and delicate odor. Pkt., 10 cts.; oz., 30 

 cts.; ilb., $1.00.
