2 New CHOICE VEGETABLE SEEDS | 
CRIMSON GIANT RADISH 
This variety is suitable both for forcing or early planting out 
of doors. A remarkable feature of this Radish is that it will 
grow double the size of other round red forcing Radishes and 
sull remain solid, not showing the least sign of becoming hol- 
low. The ordinary forcing Radish, after growing to the size of 
two or three inches in circumference, and weighing about + 
ounce, becomes pithy and unfit for eating, while the Crim- 
son Giant will grow to six and seven inches in circumference, 
weigh about one ounce, and still remain solid and juicy, free 
from all signs of becoming soft. In shape this Radish is round 
to oval, and is very attractive. The flesh is mild and tender, 
and we recommend it to our customers as one of the 
best in its class, having found it to be such in our ex- 
tensive trials of Radishes. Pkt., 10 cts.; 0z., 25 
cts.; + lb., 75 cts.; lb., $2.50. 
EARLIEST WHITE MAY 
RADISH 
The size, shape and early maturity of this variety 
are extremely desirable, particularly for those who 
prefer the white skin variety. It can be relied upon 
to produce Radishes fit for use in a remarkably short 
time and the season may be prolonged by beginning 
their use while still of asmall size. It is the best se- 
lection of early white turnip-shape Radish we have 
ever grown and the quality is excellent, being pure 
white, very mild, crispandtender. It may be grown 
either in the garden, or on account of its rapid growth 
and medium size top, it can be used as a forcing va- 
riety. Pkt., 10 cts.; oz., 25 cts.; 4 lb., 70cts.; Ib., 
$2. 25. 
JOHN BAER TOMATO 
This variety has been offered as the earliest Tomato 
for home and commercial use, and in our trials we 
found it to mature about the same time as Spark’s 
Earliana, which variety it resembles in size, shape 
and color. The vines do not grow very large, but are 
productive, bearing the fruits in clusters and abund- 
antly. The Tomatoes are of amedium size, nearly 
round in shape, scarlet color and are of excellent 
flavor. On account of the large yield, desirable size 
and shape, this variety is suited both for early market 
and home use. Pkt., 10 cts.; oz., 50 cts.; } lb., 
$1.50 
DREER’S ELECTRIC 
EXTRA EARLY PEA 
This has been our leading variety of Extra Early Pea for 
years and is the best of the small, round, blue-seeded extra 
early sorts. The vines grow very uniform and attain a height 
of 23 feet, bearing an abundant crop of medium size, dark green 
pods, which are well filled with Peas of good flavor. It is not 
only valuable for early use, but is especially adapted for plant- 
ing in August, when most plantings of other varieties result in 
failure. We consider Dreer’s Electric Extra Early the most re- 
liable Pea for planting as early in the spring as the ground can 
be worked, and strongly recommend it for that purpose. Pkt., 
10 cts. by mail. By express or freight, at purchaser’s expense, 
Ib., 40 cts.; 2 Ibs., 70 cts. (if wanted by Parcel Post add as 
stated on page 35); 10 lbs., $3.00. 
LONG CREAM 
VEGETABLE MARROW 
The fruits are oblong in shape, skin smooth and creamy white. 
It is a vine sort and very productive. The Marrow Squashes 
are largely grown in England, and should be more generally 
used in this country, as the quality is exceedingly delicious, 
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 moisture supplied. When the fruits are nearly half- 
grown the flesh is very tender and marrowy, and may be pre.. 
pared for the table either cooked in same manner as ordinary 
squash or fried, in which manner it is far superior to the Egg 
Plant. Pkt., 15 cts.; oz., 35 cts.; $ lb., $1.00. 
\ 
DELICIOUS SQUASH 
An excellent variety for use during the fall and winter months; 
very fine grained, dry and sweet, in fact, it would be difficult to 
find a variety more suited for home use; as it is a combination 
of all desirable qualities and is finer grained and more delicious 
than the well-known Hubbard. The color of skin is green, 
with an occasional blue specimen; size about same as Hubbard, 
weighing from 5 to 10 pounds. Theshell is not very thick, but 
is hard and strong; the flesh is thick and of a bright yellow color, 
fine-grained and of splendid quality. For table use, either as a 
fall or winter Squash, it cannot be excelled. Pkt., 10 cts.; 0z., 
25 cts.; 4 lb., 75 cts.; lb., $2.50,
