NOVELTIES AND SPECIALTIES FOR iSgo. 



DREER'S STANDARD POTATO. 



An oval-shaped early white potato, similar in form to the old Early Vermont; the flesh is white, fine-grained and 

 very delicate. Either baked or boiled they are very superior, and cook evenly, dry and mealy, and are never hard, 

 liollow, watery or discolored at the centre. Vines are medium size with deej> green foliage, and healthy in all re- 

 spects. The tubers grow compact in the hill and are easily dug, ripening in about 3 months from the time of planting, 

 though suitable for cooking one week later than the Rose with the same culture. They are very productive, with but 

 few small tubers. Its beautiful appearance, fine quality, extraordinary productiveness and remarkable keeping 

 qualities render it a most valuable variety for market. This year it has resisted the blight better than any of the 

 other varieties. Our stock of this desirable potato is limited, and we can only offer it this season by the pound. 



I lb., postpaid, 75 cts. ; 4 lbs., by express, $2.00. 



FORDHOOK SQUASH. 



The engraving, reproduced from a photograph, 

 sliows the shape of the squashes and the solidity 

 of a section. Of a handsome, bright yellow color 

 outside, and straw-yellow within. The flesh is 

 as dry as "P;X-e's Peak" and much sweeter, 

 making it the best in quality of all Winter 

 Squashes. Placed in a cool, dry room, keeps 

 in perfect condition throughout the winter and 

 spring. From the photograjih will be noticed 

 the thin, hard stem, in striking contrast to the 

 thick, fleshy stems of other varieties of Winter 

 Squash. This same characteristic also applies 

 to the roots, which are likewise slim and hard, 

 Jiirnisking absolutely no food for the Squash borer, and consequently is perfectly free from their attacks ; ma- 

 tures early.
