SPECIALTIES '"VEGETABLE SEEDS 



>HlLMEliPMfe\ 



Golden Plume Celery 



Golden Plume Celery 



274 A large early Celery of superfine quality and ap- 

 pearance. Large heavy stalks with a full, solid 

 heart of golden yellow, easy to blanch, a good 

 keeper, and always of the crisp, brittle and nutty 

 quality so much desired. Shows a marked resis- 

 tance to blight, so often affecting the early yellow 

 strains and this with our special strain of Origi- 

 nator's Golden Self Blanching, oiiered on page 22 

 we consider the two finest Golden Celeries in culti- 

 vation. Pkt., 25 cts.; J oz., $1.75; J oz., $3.00; 

 oz., $5.50. 



Emperor Celery 



259 A very special strain of late keeping Celery for 

 winter use. Of dwarf type averaging 18 inches in 

 height, with thick white stalks and large, solid, pale 

 yellow heart. Very crisp, with no stringiness, and 

 of splendid flavor. Pkt., 10 cts.; J oz., 30 cts.; 

 oz., 50 cts.; ilb., $1.75. 



Golden Bantam Sugar Corn 



318 If we except the acreage grown exclusively for the 

 canning industry there is probably more Golden 

 Bantam Sugar Corn grown both in home and com- 

 mercial gardens than all other varieties put to- 

 gether, and this popularity is well deserved, for the 

 sweet tender quality of the small yellow ears is un- 

 rivaled. We offer a select strain producing ears 

 about 5 inches long with 8 rows of broad creamy 

 grains, in approximately 70 days. The stMks 

 grow only 4 or 4^ feet in height, making it an ad- 

 mirable variety for the small garden, while the 

 dainty ears are particularly attractive on the table. 

 Pkt, 10 cts., postpaid; J lb., 25 cts.; lb., 40 cts.; 

 2 lbs., 75 cts.; 10 lbs., $3.00. 



Dreer's Perfect Forcing Carrot 



240 Carrots are, comparatively speaking, of easy culture, taking 

 up a minimum of space in the garden, while the young product 

 are especially nourishing and appetizing. Our Perfect Forcing 

 is of particularly fine quality, and we heartily recommend it. 

 Easily one of the most popular of the early carrots, equally 

 useful for the outdoor garden as well as growing under glass. 

 It is a fine, half long variety of most symmetrical shape, uni- 

 form size, and has a remarkably small top. Of attractive 

 bright scarlet color, crisp, and with a singularly small core, so 

 small in fact that in the young product it is hardly noticeable. 

 It is not particular as to soil and yields splendid crops under 

 ordinary home garden conditions. Pkt., 10 cts.; | oz., 15 

 cts.; oz., 25 cts.; i lb., 70 cts.; lb., $2.25. 



Broad -leaved Dandelion 



401 The Dandelion until recent years had been known only as a 

 troublesome weed, but it has now been so greatly improved 

 that it is now recognized as a most healthful early spring 

 . vegetable, eaten either raw as salad, or cooked and served like 

 greens. Our strain of Broad-leaved Dandelion produces large 

 bushy plants, with broad, succulent leaves of a slightly bitter 

 flavor. Quality is considerably improved by blanching the 

 plants, which can be done by covering them with leaves or 

 other litter, although boarding up like celery or covering with 

 inverted boxes will give better results. Pkt., 15 cts.; J oz., 

 60 cts.; oz., $1.00; i lb., $3.00. 



Dreer's Giant Fringed Endive 



412 Endive is a plant of rapid growth higUy esteemed for table 

 use and in some states can be grown all the year round. This 

 is a strong growing variety with a large white heart and 

 broad stems, good for fall and winter. On account of the beau- 

 tifidly curled and finely cut leaves this variety is used freely 

 for garnishing as well as making a delicious salad. For further 

 remarks regarding this fine vegetable see page 26. Pkt., 10 

 cts.; 5 oz., 20 cts.; oz., 30 cts.; j lb., 85 cts.
