SIX "SUPERB" VEGETABLES. 



(See Colored Plate Opposite.) 



BOVND POD KIDNEY WAX BEAN. 



It will readily be seen on colored plate opposite, that Round Pod Kidney Wax Bean is of most desirable shape and color. It 

 is an improved type of the well-known Wardwell's Kidney Wax, and, besides having that popular variety's luxuriant growth, it is 

 also entirely stringless. The pods are long, straight and extremely handsome. It is an exceedingly heavy bearer, and is fully as 

 early in maturing its pods as the Wardwell's Kidney Wax. One of the important qualities of this variety is that the pod remains 

 exceedingly tender, even when well advanced in growth. Pkt., 10 cts.; pt., .30 cts. (postpaid, 38 cts.) ; qt., 45 cts. (postpaid, 60 

 cts.) ; 4 qts., §1.50; peck, §2.50. 



DBEEB'S EXCELSIOB BEET. 



The attractive form and rich dark color, as shown on colored plate apposite, will not fail to commend this variety to all. In 

 addition to beautiful appearance, Dreer's Excelsior Beet has many other good qualities. It is fully as early as any variety of 

 turnip-shape Beet known, and produces Beets of uniform shape and size. The flesh is blood-red, remarkably sweet and tender, 

 retaining all these qualities until it has attained an advanced age; even then it is entirely free from woodiness. We recommend 

 this variety for the private garden, as well as for market gardeners' use. Pkt., 10 cts.; oz., 15 cts.; \ lb., 30 cts.; lb., 80 els.' 



DBEEB'S ALL-HEABT LETTUCE. 



A very superior variety of cabhj.ge Lettuce, appropriately named on account of the beautiful, hard, close head it makes. Since 

 we first introduced this Lettuce two years ago the demand for seed has steadily increased, so that each year we have been unable 

 to fill all orders received. This demand, coming mainly from our regular customers, shows that the variety is a pleasing one, and 

 that its good qualities are fully appreciated. It is adapted to both spring and summer use, as it withstands intense heat. Forms 

 large heads, leaves closely set, with extremely solid heart, even before it is half grown. The color is a beautiful yellowish-green, 

 as depicted on colored plate opposite, and the flavor is excellent, being rich and buttery. This is the very best Lettuce for the 

 private garden. Pkt., 10 cts.; oz., 50 cts.; ^ lb., $1.50. ■ 



THE GBADUS, OB PBOSPERITT PEA. 



This extra early wrinkled Pea bears pods of large size, and combines the finest quality with extreme earliness ; is also very 

 productive. The smooth varieties of Extra Early Peas have heretofore filled their place in a way, as they could be planted very 

 early, while the wrinkled sorts could not be planted until milder weather; but there has been the need of an "■extra early'''' which 

 would also have that sweetness and fine flavor of the wrinkled varieties. " Gradus " therefore fills this want, -and is a fine extra 

 early wrinkled Pea. It is very hardy, and can be planted fully as early as the smooth Peas; grows vigorous and healthy; vines 

 2J feet in height and i.s very prolific, bearing pods fully as large as Telephone, usually containing from 8 to 10 large Peas. The 

 color of the shelled Peas is a beautiful light-green, which color they retain after being cooked; the quality and flavor is delicious, 

 and the Peas remain tender and sweet for a long time. 



The "Gradus" has already become a favorite with both market gardener and amateur wherever grown. Pkt., 10 cts.; pt., 30 

 Cts. (postpaid, 38 cts.) ; qt., 50 cts. (postpaid, 65 Cts ); 4 qts., $1.75; peck, $3.00. 



DBEER'S CBIMSON BALL BADISH. 



This is an entirely distinct variety, and while of th% same shape as the true red turnip Radish, the flesh, as well as the skin, is 

 of a beautiful red color, which is a unique feature. It is a dainty little Radish of very mild and pleasing flavor, and a splendid 

 variety to grow for home use. Our colored plate opposite truly represents this beautiful Radish, showing its shape, color and the 

 extreme smallness of top. It is equally as good for forcing as for growing outside, quickly making fine Radishes even during the 

 hot summer months. Pkt., 10 cts ; oz. , 25 cts.; \ lb., 75 cts. 



DBEEB'S EABLIEST OF ALL TOMATO. 



A splendid extra eariy variety, which we have been selling for several years past, and has always produced very early crops. 

 The Tomatoes grow to a medium size, and, as will be seen on colored plate opposite, are of good shape. 



The flesh is very solid, with but few seeds, color brilliant red, and flavor excellent, being free from acid taste. The vines are 

 very productive, the fruits growing in immense clusters, and continuing to ripen until fall. This variety is highly appreciated by 

 many private gardeners who have grown it. Pkt., 15 cts.; J oz., 30 cts ; oz., 50 ctL.; \ lb., $1.50.
