DR££R^S SPECIAL 

 CROSBY'S EGYPTIAN BEET. 



(See illustration on opposite page.) 



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 Egyptian Blood Turnip Beet and is 

 valuable both for the private gardener and those who grow 

 Beets for market. In the production of this seed, selection is 

 not only made for shape, but also for extreme earliness and high 

 quality. Thj skin is very smooth, bright-red and flesh-ver- 

 milion, very sweet and tender. This Beet is good for forcing, 

 as well as growing in the garden, and may be used while small. 

 Pkt., 10 cts.; oz., 20cts.; J lb., 50 cts.; lb., $1.75. 



GOLDEN CREAM SUGAR CORN. 



(See illustration on opposite page.) 



A cross of Country Gentleman and Golden Bantam, taking 

 on the character of the former variety, except in color. The 

 ears are ready for use at a very early season; grains are long 

 and pointed, rich cream color when ready, but turn to light 

 golden-yellow when cooked, making an attractive appearance on 

 the table. The quality is very fine, being remarkably sweet 

 and tender. Stalks are brownish-red, and make a healthy, 

 rapid growth, producing from 2 to 4 ears each. This new 

 variety is distinct, and possesses genuine merit. The seed we 

 furnish was grown in Connecticut, and is thoroughly accli- 

 mated. Pkt., 10 cts., by mail. By express or freight, at 

 purchaser's expense, pt., 25 cts.; qt., 10 cts. (If pints or 

 quarts are wanted by Parcel Post add postage as per rate given 

 on page 22.) 4 qts., $1.25; peck, §2.25. 



MAY KING LETTUCE. 



(See illustration on opposite page.) 



Very early, and being hardy, will stand considerable cold, 

 damp weather. It can be planted out of doors or under glass, 

 and in either case will produce fine, solid heads much sooner 

 than any other variety. The outer leaves are yellowish-green, 

 tinged with brown, while inside it is rich golden-yellow. 

 Pkt., 5 cts.; oz., 20 cts.; J lb., 60 cts.

EARLY DETROIT TOMATO. 



(See illustration on opposite page.) 



For the home garden as well as for market this variety will 

 give entire satisfaction. The fruits are of a purplish-pink color 

 and very attractive to the eye; this, together with its uniform 

 size and shape, make it one of the best varieties of Tomatoes 

 recently introduced. The vine mnkes a strong, vigorous 

 growth, and fruits set and ripen «arly, continuing throughout 

 the entire season. The Tomatoes are medium to large in size, 

 nearly round, perfectly smooth, solid and of excellent flavor. 

 Pkt., 10 cts.; oz., 30 cts.; Jib., §1.00. 



LAXTONIAN PEA. 



The largest-podded variety of extra earlies and really may 

 be classed as Dwarf Gradus, which variety it resembles, except 

 that it only grows about 18 inches high and does not require 

 any support. The vines make a vigorous growth, which en- 

 ables them to withstand weather conditions unsuited to some of 

 the large-podded varieties, and the pods are well filled with 

 large Peas, which have an exquisite flavor. \N'hile the crop 

 does not mature until a few days later than "Gradus," the 

 quality of this new variety is equally as good. Pkt., 10 cts., 

 by mail. By express or freight at purchaser's expense, pt., 25 

 cts.; qt., 40 cts. (If pints or quarts are wanted by Parcel 

 Post add postage as per page 32.) 4 qis., ?1,50; peck, |2.50. 



FIRST AND BEST RADISH. 



A beautiful half-long Radish of very early maturity. The 

 color is rich, deep scarlet, size medium, making it very dainty. 

 The tops are small and roots grow uniform in size and shape, 

 tapering to a point. The quality is fine, being delightfully 

 crisp and juicy. We know of no half-long Radish that will 

 equal ibis variefv. Pkt., 10 cts.; oz., 15 cts.; |^ lb., 40 cts.; 

 lb., $1.25.
