WATSON WATERMELON. 



A large oblong Melon, the skin of which is dark green, with 

 thick netting all over, quite distinct from other varieties. It 

 originated in Georgia, a State noted for producing fine Water- 

 melons, and this new variety is a good example of what a first- 

 class Watermelon should be. The rind is thin, but tough, and 

 the flesh a bright, attractive red color, of a delicious, sweet and 

 satisfying flavor. Its appearance and quality strongly recom- 

 mend it both for home use and for market. Pkt., 10 cts. ; oz., 

 16cts.; J lb., 40 cts.; lb., $1.25. 



AIESA CRAIG ONION. 



A very huge, yellow fleshed variety of Onion which is popu- 

 lar with English gardeners. It resembles the American variety, 

 " Prizetaker," but will grow much larger and more globular in 

 form, The skin is an attri ctive straw-color, flesh is mild, and 

 the < Inions keep remarkably well for such large size. It will 

 prove valuable to those who grow Onions for exhibitu n pur- 

 as it is the most attractive and showy < inion thai can be 

 grown. For producing the largest and best Onions, it i-. best to 

 sow seed in the hotbed early in spring and transplant when of 

 sufhcient ~i/e. Pkt, lOcts.; oz., 40 cts. ; } lb., $1.25; lb., £4.00. 



FIVE FINE VEGETABLES. 



See colored plate opposite. 



DARK-LEAVED GLOBE BEET. 



Several years ago we received from an English seed-grower 

 a sample package of seed of this excellent Beet, which, after a 

 thorough trial, we found to have many desirable qualities, and 

 offered it to our customers the following spring. Since then we 

 have soil -large quantities of the seed, and those who have 

 planted it have been well satisfied. It is a splendid type of the 

 blood turnip variety, the originator, in making his selections, 

 having in mind an ideal Beet combining good quality with the 

 beautiful globe shape. The extremely dark foliage of this new 

 variety is a striking fpature, while the corresponding rich, dark 

 color of flesh and beautiful globe shape combine to make it 

 one of the most attractive varieties recently introduced. The 

 quality is excellent, being sweet and tender. Pkt, 10 cts.; oz., 

 20 cts'.; £ lb., 60 cts.; lb., £2.00. 



NETTED ROCK MUSKMELON. 



During the past few years there have been a number of 

 selections from the " Rocky Ford" Muskmelon placed upon the 

 market, many of which were no improvement whatever on the 

 original strain. This variety, however, is an exception, being 

 far superior in every way to all others of the type, and is with- 

 out doubt the best of all the medium-size, green-fleshed Musk- 

 melons. The size and shape are both desirable, and the heavy 

 netting makes it a very attractive Melon either for home use or 

 for marketing. The Melons are about the same size as " Rocky 

 Ford," nearly round, very slightly ridged and heavily netted. 

 The seed cavity is small, and the flesh, which is green, is thick, 

 solid and extremely sweet, containing a much higher per- 

 centage of sugar than any other variety. A feature with this 

 Melon, which is greatly in its favor, is its ability to withstand 

 rust and blight, so much so that it is almost proof against either. 

 Pkt., 10 cts.; oz., 15 cts.; J lb., 40 cts.; lb., $1.25. 



EAREY MORN PEA. 



An English variety of the Gradus type with many desirable 

 qualities. In our trial grounds it matured about the same time 

 as 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 variety. 

 Pkt., 10 cts.; pi., 30 cts. (postpaid, 38 cts.'); qt., 50 cts. 

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



DREER'S 



WHITE 



DEEICACY 



RADISH. 



An attractive long white Radi-h, which is a great improve- 

 ment on the "White Strasburg," being earlier, more evenly 

 shaped and having a smaller leaf top. It grows to full size and 

 perfect shape during the hottest weather, and is also good for 

 early fall sowing, as it is always sure to make a crop of first- 

 class, crisp and tender Radishes. Pkt., 5 cts.; oz., 15 cts. ; J 

 lb., 40 cts.; lb., $1.25. 



NEW PERFECTION RADISH. 



This new early variety of Radish is exceedingly attractive on 

 account of its rich markings. The upper portion of skin is 

 brilliant red, while the lower portion is white, extending higher 

 up than is usual with this class of Radish, and forming a strik- 

 ing combination of colors. It is a rapid grower, and may be 

 used in the greenhouse or in the garden, for which purpose it is 

 equally well adapted. It grows very uniform both in size and 

 shape, is extremely solid and decidedly crisp and tender, Pkt., 

 10 cts.; oz., 20 cts.; J; lb., 50 cts.; lb., $1.50.
