SPECIALTIES '"VEGETABLE SEEDS 



>HlIMIiPM]i\ 



EARLY FORTUNE CUCUMBER 



(See Colored Plate opposite.) 

 Cucumbers of the "White Spine" type are most desirable. 

 This variety was discovered in a field of "Davis Perfect" and 

 is now so thoroughly established that large fields do not show 

 any variation either in plant or fruit. The Cucumbers are 

 slightly longer than "Arlington White Spine," more cylindrical 

 in shape, with very dark green skin and thick flesh, which is 

 tender and crisp, making it especially good for slicing. Pkt., 

 10 cts.; oz., 20 cts.; i lb., SOcts.; lb., $1.75. 



MARKET SURPRISE PEA 



(See Colored Plate opposite.) 

 This new early Pea was first sent to us by a leading seed 

 grower in England, and in a careful test, made at our trial 

 grounds, we found it to be a valuable addition to the early varie- 

 ties. The plant grows to a height of 30 inches, and is very 

 thrifty, producing the pcds in surprisingly large quantities. 

 Pods are large and well filled with Peas, which are remarkably 

 sweet and fine flavored. Pkt., 10 cts. by mail. By express or 

 freight, at purchaser's expense, lb., 50 cts.; 2 lbs., 90 cts. (If 

 wanted by Parcel Post add as stated on page 37); 10 lbs., $4.00. 



EAXTONIAN PEA 



The largest-podded variety of extra earlies and really may be 

 classed as a Dwarf Gradus. The vines gro* about 18 inches 

 high, make a vigorous growth, and the pcds are well filled with 

 large Peas, which have an exquisite flavor. While the crop 

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

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

 By express or freight, at purchaser's expense, lb., 50 cts.; 2 

 lbs., 90 cts. (If wanted by Parcel Post add as stated on page 

 37); 10 lbs., $4.00. 



PIMIENTO PEPPER 



The sweetest Pepper grown, as it does not contain the slight- 

 est trace of fieriness. The plants are productive and Peppers 

 medium size and of a shape which is desirable for filling, pre- 

 pared in which manner they are delicious. It may also be use'' 

 in salads and for flavoring. Pkt., 10 cts.; ^ oz., 40 cts.; oz., 

 75 cts.; i lb., $2.25. For Plants, see page 212. 



SURE-CROP STRINGEESS 

 WAX BEAN 



(See Colored Plate opposite.) 

 A valuable variety of Dwarf Wax Bean. The plant grows to 

 a medium size, and having a strong, thick stem, stands up well 

 even during a long season of stormy weather, thus protecting 

 the pods from dirt and dampness. It is very productive, bear- 

 ing large, handsome golden-yellow pods in great abundance, 

 and being hardy, the seed may be planted early. Pkt., 10 cts.; 

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

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

 on page 12); 10 lbs., $3.00. 



DREER'S EXCEESIOR BEET 



(See Colored Plate opposite.) 

 The attractive form and rich dark color of this Beet commend 

 it to all. It is fully as early as any variety of turnip-shaped 

 Beet known, and always is of uniform shape and size. The 

 flesh .is blood-red, remarkably sweet and tender, retaining all 

 these qualities until it has attained an advanced age. We recom- 

 mend this variety for the private garden, as well as for market 

 gardeners' use. Pkt. ,10 cts. ; oz. , 20 cts. ; ^ lb. , 50 cts, ; lb. , $1. 75. 



DREER'S 

 PERFECT FORCING CARROT 



(See Colored Plate opposite.) 

 Introduced by us a few years ago, this variety of Carrot has 

 become quite popular. It is a fine, half-long variety, beautiful 

 bright scarlet, transparent, crisp and almost without a core. 

 Grows very uniform in size and has a remarkably small top, for 

 which reason it can be planted very close in frame. It also 

 does well grown in open ground and may be depended upon for 

 a good crop. Pkt., 10 cts.; oz., 25 cts.; 1^ lb., 70 cts.; lb., $2.25.
