DREKR'S ARISTOCRAT 

 SUGAR CORN 



This delicious Sweet Corn, first introduced by us a few 

 years ago, has become a standard in those sections which de- 

 mand an early maturing and sweet flavored corn. It is a re- 

 liable extra early sort, which was for many years controlled by a 

 prominent gardener who supplies truck to the aristocrats at 

 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 

 6 feet high and ears are of large size, measuring 8 to 10 inches 

 in length. The grains are extremely sweet, and, being de- 

 cidedly broad, allow of easy scoring with a knife preparatory 

 to buttering when to be eaten from the cob. Pkt., 10 cts., by 

 mail. By express or freight, at purchaser's expense, lb., 40 

 cts.; 2 lbs., 70 cts. (If wanted by Parcel Post add as stated 

 on page 24); 10 lbs., $3-00. 



GOLDEN GIANT SUGAR CORN 



A variety of recent introduction which is a cross of Howling 

 Mob witli Golden Bantam, and produces ears which are much 

 larger than Golden Bantam, but of the same delicious quality, 

 and being hardy, the seed may be planted as soon as the ground 

 becomes warm. The cob is of small diameter, and contains 

 twelve to eighteen rows of long, thick grains which cover (he 

 entire surface and are deep orange in color, extremely juicy 

 and sweet. It may be planted for succession througliout the 

 entire season. Pkt., 10 cts., by mail. By express or freight, 

 at purchaser's expense, lb., 50 cts.; 2 ll)s., 90 cts. (If 

 wanted by Parcel Post add as stated on page 24); 10 lbs., 

 $4.00. 



IVINTER KING CEEERY 



An attractive feature of this variety is that while the outer 

 stalks are green, it naturally produces many golden hearts, 

 which are decidedly crisp, very tender and of excellent flavor. 

 In addition to these desirable qualities it is one of the best of the 

 winter keeping Celeries, and may be allowed to remain in the 

 trench for a long time, and will come out in first-class condition, 

 solid and free from rot. The plants make a strong growth, 

 nnd are very easy to blanch, which is a decided advantage to 

 the amateur gardener, and also a valuable feature for market 

 growers. It would be difficult to find a better keeping variety, 

 and we strongly recommend it to those who desire to raise 

 Celery for use during the winter. Pkt., 10 cts.; oz., 45 cts.; 

 i lb., $1.50. 



EARLY black: beauty 



EGG-PLANT 



This beautiful Egg-Plant is a great imprpvement over the 

 well-known and largely-grown New York Improved Large 

 Purple, and has become the leading variety in all sections where 

 Egg-Plants are grown. The plants are remarkably healthy in 

 tlieir growth, and produce an abundance of large fruits earlier 

 than the New York Improved. The skin is of a rich purplish 

 black color, making the fruit very attractive in appearance. It 

 is also entirely spineless, and the quality is all that could be 

 desired. Pkt., 10 cts.; ^oz., 40 cts.; oz., 75 cts.; I lb., $2.00. 



OREER'S IMPERIAL 

 LONG-STANOING KALE 



A beautifully curled and crimped variety, which is of strong, 

 vigorous habit, perfectly hardy, bright green color, and very 

 attractive appearance. The plant is of spreading habit of 

 growth, with large leaves which furnish an abundance of greens 

 during the fall, winter and spring: Pkt., 10 cts.; oz., 25 cts.; 

 i lb., 90 cts.; lb., $2.25. 



MAY KING LETTUCE 



This splendid variety of Lettuce originally came from Ger- 

 many, where it is a great favorite. It is 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 pro- 

 duce fine, solid heads much sooner than any other variety. The 

 heads are very attractive, outer leaves being yellowish-green, 

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

 Pkt., 10 cts.; oz., 30 cts.; I lb., 85 cts.
