GOLDEN CREAM 

 SUGAR CORN. 



A cross of Country Gentleman and Golden 

 Bantam. 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-yel- 

 low when cooked; making an attractive appear- 

 ance on the table. The quality is very fine, 

 being remarkably sweet and tender. This new 

 variety is distinct, and possesses genuine merit.

 purchaser's expense, pt. , 25 cts.; qt. , 40 cts. 

 (If pint or quart is wanted by Parcel Post add

FINOCCHIO, or 

 FLORENCE FENNEL. 



A delicious vegetable which should be more 

 largely grown. It is extensively used in Italy 

 as a salad, and also may be served boiled. When 

 the enlargement of leaf stalk, at base of stem, is 

 about the size of a hen's egg it should be 

 earthed up so as to cover half of it, and in about 

 ten days cutting may be commenced and con- 

 tinued as the plants increase in growth. The 

 flavor is somewhat like celery, but it has a sweet 

 taste and delicate odor. Pkt., 10 cts.; oz., 30 

 cts. j £ lb., $1.00. 



DREER'S 

 ALL-HEART LETTUCE. 



Introduced by us several years ago, this variety of head- 

 lettuce has continually grown in the favor of both private and 

 market gardeners and is the most reliable hard-heading lettuce 

 ever introduced, far superior to all other varieties of cabbage- 

 lettuce. It is adapted to both spring and summer use, as it 

 withstands intense heat and forms magnificent large heads with 

 leaves closely set, extremely solid heart, even before it is half 

 grown. The color is a beautiful yellowish-green and the flavor 

 is excellent, being rich and buttery. This is the very best Let- 

 tuce for the private garden. Pkt., 10 cts.; oz., 30 cts.; J lb., 

 80 cts.

DREER'S 

 "WONDERFUL" LETTUCE. 



We were fortunate in being the introducers of this valuable 

 variety which has become very popular, particularly in the 

 South, where it withstands extreme heat and forms perfect heads 

 of enormous size, which resemble cabbage in their solidity, 

 measuring from 11 to 15 inches across, and frequently weighing 

 2 and 3 pounds each. The quality is superb, being crisp, rich 

 and tender. Pkt., 10 cts.; oz.. 20 cts.; I lb., 60 cts. 



DELICIOUS GOLD LINED 

 MUSKMELON. 



Growers of muskmelons, both for home use 

 and for market, will be delighted with "De- 

 licious Gold Lined." The melons are same size 

 as "Rockyford," but specimens run more uni- 

 form as to size and shape, which is nearly round, 

 and the skin is covered with a thick gayish net- 

 ting, adding much to the appearance of the 

 melon. The flesh is green, with slight golden 

 tint next to the seed cavity, and the flavor is de- 

 licious, being remarkably sweet and juicy. Vines 

 are productive and melons mature early, making 

 it desirable both for the home garden and for 

 shipping. Pkt., 10 cts.; oz., 20 cts.; \ lb., 50 

 cts.; lb., $1.50.

BUSH MUSKMELON. 



A very striking feature of this variety of 

 Muskmelon is that the plant grows in bush form, 

 thus making it desirable for growing in the small 

 garden where space for the vining sorts cannot 

 be spared. The plant makes a vigorous growth 

 and is very productive, bearing a large number 

 of melons, which are of about the same size and 

 shape as the well-known Jenny Lind, with green 

 flesh and a delicious flavor. A small area will 

 supply an abundance of melons, as it can be 

 planted in hills 3 feet apart, and will produce 

 nearly double the crop of vine sorts planted on 

 same area. Pkt., 10 cts.; oz., 40 cts.; £ lb., 

 $1.25; lb., $4.00.
