TRIANON SELF-FOLDING 



COS LETTUCE, OR ROMAINE 



SALAD 



This is the Lettuce that is served at the best hotels and restaur- 

 ants under the name of " Romaine salad." It differs from 

 ordinary Lettuce by the shape of the leaves, which are elongated, 

 spoon-shaped and very crisp. It is grown in the same manner 

 as Cabbage Lettuce, but does not make a solid head. Sow seed 

 early in the spring in good soil, and when plants have three 

 leaves thin out to stand about four inches apart in the row, and 

 when plants are of a sufficient size the leaves should be drawn 

 together and tied, in order to blanch the inner ones. Pkt., 10 

 cts.; oz.; 25 cts.; \ lb., 75 cts.; lb., $2.50. 



YELLOW ICE CREAM 

 WATERMELON 



This unique Watermelon is aptly de- 

 scribed in a letter received fromMr. E. Stan- 

 ley Brown, Horticulturist, East Moriches, 

 N. Y., in which he writes: "After repeated 

 trials, covering four years, I have no hesi- 

 tancy in stating that Yellow Ice Cream is 

 the 'par excellence' of all Watermelons. 

 The vines are strong, inclined to overbear, 

 and whether fully grown or undeveloped; 

 there seems to be no difference in their 

 high quality. The flesh is bright golden- 

 yellow, skin green and shape elongated. 

 We preferred it to any of several other va- 

 rieties grown, and found that by laying 

 them on the barn floor, away from the 

 chilly blasts, they kept well into the win- 

 ter. The patch was found by night prow- 

 lers and this variety was nearly all taken, 

 while most all others were left, showing 

 that even in the dark the best could be se- 

 lected. If I could have only one variety 

 of Watermelon it would be Yellow Ice 

 Cream," Pkt., 10 cts.; oz., 20 cts.; \ lb., 

 60 cts.; lb., $2.00. 



DREER'S "WONDER" 



BUSH LIMA BEAN 



(See Colored Plate opposite) 

 This variety of Bust Lima Bean is very desirable on account 

 cf earliness, productiveness and its fixed habit of growing in the 

 dwa;' or bush form. The plants are of strong, upright growth, 

 <..-.d 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. A cu 

 tomer writes that we can well call it "Wonder," as he planted 

 as late as May 30th, and not only had all the Lima Beans he 

 wanted, but also supplied his neighbors with what they required. 

 Pkt., 10 cts., by mail. By express or freight, at purchaser's ex- 

 pense, lb., 50 cts.; 2 lbs., 90 cts. (If wanted by Parcel Post add

GOLDEN CREAM SUGAR CORN 



(See Colored Plate opposite) 

 A cross of Country Gentleman and Golden Bantam, taking on 

 the character of the former variety, except in color. The ears are 

 ready for use at an early season; grains are long and pointed, 

 rich cream color when ready, but turn to light golden-yellow 

 when cooked, making an attractive appearance on the table. The 

 quality is very fine, being remarkably sweet and tender. Stalks 

 are brownish-red, and make a healthy, rapid growth, producing 

 from 2 to 4 ears each. The seed we furnish was grown in Con- 

 necticut, and is thoroughly acclimated. Pkt., 10 cts., by mail.

NEW PERFECTION RADISH 



(See Colored Plate opposite) 

 This type of Radish, having red skin with a white tip, has 

 long been a great favorite, and with this variety the white por- 

 tion extends much farther up than is the case with ordinary 

 Scarlet Turnip White lip Radish. The upper portion is a rich, 

 brilliant red, showing in great contrast to th": lower portion, 

 which is pure white, and adding greatly to ils attractive appear- 

 ance. The general contour is turnip-shape, and size medium, 

 very uniform, with flesh crisp, tender and sparkling. Pkt., 10 

 cts.; oz., 20 cts.; \ lb., 60 cts.; lb., $2.00.

 ing evenly to the stem, exceedingly solid, firm-fleshed, and of
