DREER'S 

 EARI.IEST CLUSTER TOMATO. 



We believe this to be the earliest Tomato ever introduced, 

 also ihe most productive and best in quality of all extra early 

 varieties. It is of good size, measuring from 4 to 5 inches in 

 diameter, and of a bright red color, making an exceedingly 

 handsome appearance. The plants are of quick and healthv 

 i^rowth, and fruits ripen fully a week ahead of "Spark's 

 Earliana;" crowns ripen in 3 to 5 days, while the " Earliana" 

 requires at least 10 days. The Tomatoes grow in large clus- 

 ters ; as many as eight to twelve fully ripe Tomatoes can be 

 picked at one time from some clusters. 



In issue of Oct. 7th, 1905, the " Rural New Yorker," re- 

 porting the results from their trial of this new Tomato on the 

 " Rural Trial Grounds," the following is said : " This is in- 

 deed an extra early kind. Our plants ripened their first fruits 

 six days before " Earliana,^'' set nt the same time. 7 he plants 

 are rapid and strong in growth, and are stilt in good vigor, 

 September 23. Tlie quality of the ripe fruits suited us better 

 than any of the very early kinds. jfwe grew early To77iatoes 

 for market we should be inclined to put ifi a good breadth of 

 " Dreer's Earliest Cluster."

LIVINGSTON'S GEOBE TOMATO. 



In shape this Tomato is distinct from all others, being a beau- 

 tiful globe, with quite a goodly percentage of elongated (stem 

 to blossom) fruits. It is of large size, always smooth, firm- 

 fleshed, very few seeds, especially in the early fruits; ripens 

 evenly, through and through ; a fine glossy rose in color, 

 tinged with purple ; very productive.

BUSH EIMA BEAN. 



This variety of Bush Lima Bean is the most valuable of all, 

 being earlier, more productive, and having the dwarf or bush 

 type more thoroughly fixed. We have repeatedly made com- 

 parative tests with it planted alongside the other bush limas and 

 it has always been ready for picking much in advance of the 

 others. It was first introduced by us in 1898, and is an improve- 

 ment on the Burpee Bush Lima, being earlier and growing abso- 

 lutely in the bush form. The plants are of strong, upright 

 growth, and are completely covered with large pods, many of 

 which contain four beans, which are fully as large as the pole 

 limas. The beans are flat in shape and of excellent quality. 

 Pkt., 10 CIS.; pt., 20 cts. (postpaid, 28 cts.); qt., 35 cts. (post- 

 paid, 50 CIS.) ; 4 qts., $1.25 ; peck, $2.00. 



« GIANT EUCUEEUS " 



SIVISS CHARD. 



The Swiss Chard, or Spinach Beet, is largely grown in 

 Euro)->e, and is usually prepared for the table in the same man- 

 ner as Spinach ; sometimes, however, the mid-rib is prepared 

 like asparagus, with drawn butter, and in either manner it 

 makes a delicious and healthy dish. This new variety pro- 

 duces an abundance of large leaves which are be.iulifully 

 crinkled, and the m.id-rib is large. It cooks very tender. A 

 row of "Giant Lucullus " Swiss Chard will furnish greens the 

 whole summer long. 



Pkt., 10 cts.; oz., 15 Cts.; \ lb., 35 cts.; lb., $1.00.

DREER'S 

 ARISTOCRAT SUGAR CORN. 



This delicious Sweet Corn was first introduced by us in 1903, 

 previous to which it was controlled by a prominent gardener 

 who supplies truck to the aristocrats at Newport, R. I. He 

 would not allow any of the seed to get into the hands of his 

 competitors, thus having a monopoly, and as it was the finest 

 Sweet Corn that came to the market, he found no difficulty in 

 disposing of all he raised. It is an extra early variety, ripen- 

 ing with the Cory ; stalks grow 4 to 6 feet high, and ears are of 

 large size, measuring 8 to 10 inches in length. The grains are 

 broad and extremely sweet and sugary. Pkt., 10 cts,; pt., 25 

 cts. (postpaid, 30 cts.) ; qt., 40 cts. (postpatd, 50 cts.); 4 qts., 

 $1.25; peck, $2.00. 



BLACK BEAUTY EGG-PANT, 



This beaatiful Egg-Plant is a great improvement over the 

 well-known and largely-grown New York Improved Large 

 Purple. The plants are remarkably healthy in their growth, 

 and produce an abundance of large fruits fully ten days earlier 

 than the New York Improved. The skin is of a rich purplish- 

 black color, making the fruit very attractive in appearance. It 

 is also entirelv spineless. The quality is all that could be de- 

 sired. Pkt., 10 cts.; J oz., 25 cts.; oz., 40 cts.; \ lb., $1.25. 



EARLY MORN PEA. 



An English variety of the Gradus type with many desirable 

 qualities. In our trial grounds it matured only a few days later 

 than Gradus, and bore large, handsome pods in profusion. The 

 Peas are large, closely packed in the pod, and the flavor is 

 sweet and delicious. Those who know the good qualities of 

 Gradus will not be disappointed in their trial of this new vari- 

 ety. Pkt., 10 cts.; pt., 30 cts. (postpaid, 38 cts.); qt., 50 cts. 

 (postpaid, 65 cts.) ; by express, 4 qts., $1.75; peck, $3.00.
