VEGETABLE MARROWS 



The Marrow Squashes are largely grown in 

 England, and should be more generally used in 

 this country, as the quality is exceedingly delici- 

 ous, far superior to the ordinary summer Squash. 

 They grow well anywhere if a liberal supply of 

 manure is dug into the hills and plenty of moist- 

 ure supplied. When the fruits are nearly half- 

 grown the flesh is very tender and marrowy, and 

 may be prepared for the table either cooked in 

 same manner as ordinary squash or fried, in which 

 manner it is far superior to the Egg Plant. We 

 offer the following varieties of Vegetable Mar- 

 rows, all of which are suited to our climate and 

 conditions. 

 Long: Cream. (See cut.) A prolific vine sort. 



Fruits long, pale cream color and rich flavor. 



Pkt., 15 cts.; oz., 35 cts.; £ lb, $1.00. 

 English Marrow. A bush variety; fruits 



shorter than Long Cream, but quality very 



good. Pkt. , 10 cts. ; oz. , 30 cts. ; \ lb. , 85 cts. 

 Long Green. Long and slim with striped 



green skin; a fine variety, very productive and 



delicious. Pkt., 15 cts.; oz., 35 cts.; £ lb., 



$1.00. 



EARLIEST 



WHITE MAY RADISH 



A beautiful Radish, ready for use in 18 days 

 from sowing. It is mild and tender, and the 

 beautiful white skin, together with uniform shape 

 and small tops, make it all that could be de- 

 sired. Pkt., 10 cts.; oz., 20 cts.; \ lb., 60 

 cts.; lb., $2.00. 



DELICIOUS SQUASH 



This fall and winter Squash is finer grained 

 and more delicious than the well-known Hub- 

 bard. The skin is green, with an occasional 

 bluespecimen; size about same as Hubbard. The 

 shell is not very thick but hard and strong; flesh 

 is thick and of a bright yellow color; fine grained 

 and of splendid quality. Pkt., 5 cts.; oz., 15 

 cts.; \ lb., 45 cts.; lb., $1.50. 



EARLY DETROIT 

 TOMATO 



After growing this Tomato for several 

 years we are convinced that it is the best 

 early variety for home use, and also valu- 

 able for the market gardener. The vines 

 make a strong and vigorous growth, and 

 fruits set and ripen early, continuing to 

 do so throughout the entire season. The 

 size is medium to large, shape nearly 

 round, perfectly smooth, and skin purplish- 

 pink. The fruits are very solid and sel- 

 dom crack, and vines are remarkably free 

 from attacks of blight, thus making it the 

 most desirable early Tomato introduced in 

 recent years, and the best of the early 

 purplish-pink sorts. Pkt., 10 cts. ; oz., 45 

 cts.; lib., $1.25. 



DREER'S SUPERB 

 SALAD TOMATO 



This splendid and unique variety was 

 originally introduced by us, and is dis- 

 tinctly a salad Tomato, as it does not grow 

 large or coarse, but is just the right size 

 for serving whole with lettuce. The plants 

 are of healthy, robust growth, and pro- 

 duce a great abundance of fruit, which is 

 even in size, solid and contain but few 

 seeds. The color is very attractive, being 

 a rich scarlet, and the flavor is very good. 

 This Tomato can also be grown under 

 gla^g. Pkt., 10 cts.; oz., 45 cts.; \ lb., 

 $1.25.
