DRKBK'S SUMMER GREBN 

 PARSLEY. 



Those who desire to grow parsely during the hot suniiner 

 months will appreciate this variety, which is especially adapted 

 to that purpose and grows in fine form even during July and 

 August. It is strong and vigorous in growth, and produces 

 large finely-cut leaves, which are of a beautiful dark green 

 color. It holds the color for a long time after many other 

 varieties have turned yellow. The flavor of this Parsley is ex 

 cellent. Pkt., 5 cts.;'oz., 10 cts. ; J lb., 30 cts.; lb., $1.00. 



LAXTONIAN PEA. 



The largest-podded variety of the extra earlies and really may 

 be classed a Dwarf Gradus, which variety it resembles, except 

 that it only grows about 18 inches high and does not require 

 any support. The vines make a vigorous growth, which en- 

 ables them to withstand weather conditions unsuited to some of 

 the large-podded varieties, and ihe pods are well filled with 

 large Peas, which have an exquisite flavor. While the crop 

 does not mature until a few days later than "Gradus," the 

 quality of this new variety is equally as good. Pkt., 10 cts.; 

 pt., 38 cts.; qt., 65 cts., postpaid. By express or freight: Ft., 

 30 cts.; qt., 50 cts.; 4 qts., $1.75; peck, $3.00. 



THE EEADER PEA. 



This grand early variety was produced by carefully selecting 

 the rounder seeds found in "Gradus, or Prosperity," the origi- 

 nator desiring to secure a more hardy variety. It is an English 

 Pea, and the seed we supply was grown for us in England. The 

 vines grow three feet high, make a vigorous growth and produce 

 the large pods in great abundance fully as early as "Gradus," 

 but usually larger and more pods to each plant. It is hardy 

 and may he planted very early thus providing a supply of lus- 

 cious Peas at a very early season. Pkt., 10 cts.; pt., 38 cts.; 

 qt., 65 cts., postpaid. By express or freight: Pt., 30 cts.; qt., 

 50 cts.; 4 qts., $1.75; peck, $3.00. 



FOUR FINE VEGETABLES. 



See colored plate opposite. 



DREER'S SPECIAL 

 CROSBY 'S EGYPTIAN BEET. 



This special selection of extra early Beet is as great an im- 

 provement over the ordinary Crosby's Egyptian as the latter 

 variety is over the old-time Egyptian Blood Turnip Beet and is 

 valuable boih for the private gardener and those who grow 

 Beets for market. In the production of this seed, selection is 

 not only made for shape, but also for extreme earliness and high 

 quality. The skin is very smooth, bright-red and flesh- ver- 

 milion, very sweet and tender. This Beet is a good one for 

 forcing, as well as for growing in the garden, and may be used 

 while still small. Pkt., 10 cts.; oz., 20 cts.; \ lb., 50 cts.; lb., 

 $1.75. 



GOEDEN CREAM 



SUGAR CORN. 



This new extra early Sugar Corn originated in California, 

 and is the result of 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 a very early season, and 

 are about the size of Golden Bantam; 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. This new variety is 

 distinct, and possesses genuine merit. The seed we furnish was 

 grown in Connecticut, and is thoroughly acclimated. Pkt., 10 

 cts.; pt., 30 cts.; qt., 50 cts., postpaid. By express or freight: 

 R., 25 cts. ; qt.. 40 cts. ; 4 qts., $1.25; peck, $2.25. 



YELEOYV ICE CREAM 

 WATERMELON. 



This unique Watermelon is aptly described in a letter received 

 from Mr. E. Stanley Brown, Horticulturist, East Moriches, 

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

 four years, I have no hesitancy 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 unde- 

 veloped, there seems to be no difference in their high quality, 

 being exceedingly sweet and crisp. The flesh is bright golden- 

 yellow, skin beautiful green and shape elongated. Our house- 

 hold preferred it to any of several other varieties grown and 

 found that by laying them on the barn floor, away from the 

 chilly blasts, they kept well into the winter, and the last one 

 eaten was as good as ever. This season the patch was found 

 by night prowlers and this variety was nearly all taken, while 

 most all others were left, showing that even in the dark the best 

 could be selected. If I could have only one variety of Water- 

 melon it would be Yellow Ice Cream." Pkt., 10 cts.; oz., 20 

 cts.; i lb., 50 cts.; lb., $1.50. 



EARLY DETROIT TOMATO. 



For the home garden as well as for market this variety will 

 give entire satisfaction. The fruits are of a purplish-pink color 

 and very attractive to the eye; this, together with its uniform 

 size and shape, make it one of the best varieties of Tomato re- 

 cently introduced. The vine makes a strong, vigorous growth, 

 and fruits set and ripen early, continuing throughout the entire 

 season. The Tomatoes are medium to large in .size, nearly 

 round, perfectly smooth, solid and of excellent flavor. Pkt, 

 10 cts. ; oz., 30 cts. ; } lb., $1.00.
