HENRY A. DREER, PHILADELPHIA— CHOICE VEGETABLE SEEDS 



CUCUMBER 



Seed may be sown until July 15, and for slicing 

 we recommend Early Fortune, or if wanted for 

 pickles use Early Russian, Green Prolific, Ever- 

 bearing, or Long Green.

 and produce an abundant crop of Cucumbers, 

 which are slightly larger than Arlington White

 skin. A good variety for slicing. Pkt., 10 cts. ;

ENDIVE 



This salad vegetable should be more largely 

 grown, as its culture is very easy. For fall use the 

 seed may be sown until August, and as it only re- 

 quires about the same time to grow as lettuce, it 

 makes an excellent fall vegetable. . 

 Dreer's Giant Fringed. (See cut.) A strong-growing 



variety with large white heart and broad stems ; good 



for fall and winter and fine for decorative purposes. 



Pkt., 10 cts. ; oz., 30 cts. ; }i lb., 85 cts.

crop ; when tied up this variety blanches splendidly. Pkt..

 the ball quickly, thus making it particularly desirable on 

 account of earliness. Pkt. 10 cts. ; oz., 40 cts. ; ;4 lb., 

 $1.10. 



SUCCESSIVE PLANTINGS 



Many amateurs overlook the value of planting 

 vegetable seeds as long as there is a chance of the 

 crop maturing before frost. Do not be in this class, 

 but get all you can from your garden by replanting 

 as soon as any space is made available by the ma- 

 turing of crops.
