SPECIALTIES '"VEGETABLE SEEDJ 



>HiLaroHRik\ 



Fordhook Bush Lima Beans 



(See colored plate opposite.) 



107 This most excellent variety gains in popularity each succeeding year, its 

 dwarf growth, combined with its great productiveness, being perfectly suited 

 to the garden of limited area. The plant makes a strong growth, which pre- 

 vents the pod from coming in contact with the soil, thus avoiding rust and 

 rot. It produces many large pods in clusters and each pod is well filled 

 with 4 or 5 large beans, which are very thick through and of excellent flavor. 

 The shelled beans are of that attractive green color which is always indicative 

 of highest quality in limas. A great seDer on market, and a universal favorite 

 wherever Bush Lima Beans are grown. Pkt., 15 cts., postpaid. J lb., 30 cts.; 

 lb., SOcts.; 2 lbs., 90 cts.; 10 lbs., $4.00. 



Davis Perfect Cucumber 



(See colored plate opposite.) 



369 Without question the handsomest cucumber yet perfected for outdoor or 



greenhouse culture. Well-grown specimens closely resemble the English 



forcing product. In fact, it was the idea of producing a strain that would 



match hothouse cucumbers in appearance that led to the "perfecting" of 



Davis' Perfect. The fruits grow long and slim, sometimes measuring 12 



inches in length, tapering to both ends, and the color is a rich, 



dark, glossy green, which they hold untU nearly ripe. It is very 



tender, brittle and of fine flavor. Davis' Perfect produces very 



few seeds, which greatly improves its slicing qualities. Pkt., 10 



cts.; oz.,-25 cts.; i \h., 60 cts.; lb., $1.75. 



Early Giant Pepper (Harris) 



(See colored plate opposite.) 



723 Our many customers in the more northerly parts of the Country 

 will surely be gratified to learn of this recent introduction into 

 the list of large sweet Peppers. Where formerly only one or two 

 of the smaller early types could be grown with any certainty of 

 securing a crop, this new variety will produce strong stocky plants 

 covered with large fruits, 4^ to 5 inches high and 4 inches thick, 

 with very thick flesh, and not a trace of fieriness. Color when 

 matured is a bright red, and we consider this introduction of 

 great value, both to the amateur and the commercial grower, and 

 particularly so north of Pennsylvania. Pkt., 25 cts.; 5 oz., $2.00; 

 oz., $3.50. 



Crimson Ball Radish 



Crimson Ball Radish 



776 This variety embraces everything that goes to make up a per- 

 fect Radish, both in size, shape and quality. The shape is that 

 of the true red turnip Radish, color crimson 

 and flesh is of a mild and pleasant flavor. It is 

 a splendid variety for home use, as it grows 

 rapidly and is very uniform in size and shape. 

 "Crimson Ball" has been a favorite with 

 many of our customers ever since its introduc- 

 tion, and may be used for forcing under glass 

 as well as for growing outside in the garden, 

 and will make fine Radishes even during the 

 hot summer months. Pkt., 10 cts.; oz., 20 

 cts.; i lb., 60 cts.; lb., $2.00 



Dreer's Improved 

 Long -Standing Spinach 



845 Most varieties of Spinach have the bad habit 

 of shooting to seed before half of the crop has 

 been disposed of, but the outstanding feature 

 of the above sort is, as its name implies, its 

 remarkable long standing qualities. The 

 plant forms compact thick tufts, with numer- 

 ous leaves of a rich dark green, broad and 

 pointed, and much crumpled. The leaf stalks 

 are very short, being another important point 

 in favor of this sort. A sowing of this variety every 3 or 4 

 weeks will insure a constant supply of this healthful vege- 

 table. Pkt., 10 cts.; oz., 15 cts.; J lb., 30 cts.; lb., 85 cts.
