Dreer's Excelsior Beeto 



A beautiful Extra Early Blood Turnip Beet which, 

 while not a new variety, is so far superior to any of tho>e 

 of recent introduction that we have decided to bring it 

 more prominently to the notice of our customers. I he 

 illustration, which was made from a photograph, shows he 

 beautiful shape of this variety, which has m its make- 

 up a combination of all that is desirable in a f^r>t-class Beet, 

 beincr fully as early as any other known sort, and of a rich, 

 dark%lood color, and delightfully sweet in flavor. ^^ e are 

 conf^.lent that it will please all who plant it. Fkt., lU 

 CIS.; oz., 15 cts.; i lb., 30 cts.; lb., 80 cts., postpaid. 



Early Spring Cabbage. 



This variety is as earlv as the Jersey Wakefield, but the 

 heads are of the round, flat type of Early Summer. It has 

 very few small outer leaves, thus allowing its being planted 

 as close as any variety known, and producing the largest 

 number of heads per acre. The type is thoroughly fixed 

 and heads grow remarkably uniform in size and shape; 

 stem short and heart verv small, making almost entire 

 head fit for use. The quality is extremely fine, veins 

 small, and not the least sign of coarseness. A great point 

 in its favor is the fact that the heads harden at an early 

 sta-^e of growth, so that they are really fit for use before 

 fulfv matured. This variety has all the good qualities of 

 the Early Summer, with the ^^'^■"""e' e'-^^^^^'^'^^'/^"";! 

 being equally as early ns the Jersey \\ akeheld. Fkt., 10 

 tts.; oz., 40 cts.; J lb., $1.50, postpaid.

In this new variety we offer the finest green 

 pod stringless Bean il has ever been our pleas- 

 ure to see growing. We gave it a thorough 

 trial last season, carefully noting its character, 

 growth, etc., in comparison with all other 

 favorite varieties of this class of Beans, and are 

 thoroughly convinced of its great value, both for 

 home use and market purposes. It proved to 

 be the earliest of all, and produced the largest 

 and most handsome pods, some of which meas- 

 ured fully six inches in length. The plants are 

 very productive, benring profusely the beautiful 

 green pods, which are perfectly round, very 

 fleshy and entirely stringless. In quality it is 

 equal to any variety ever oflfered, and it is a 

 great improvement in every way over the long 

 time favorite "Round Pod Valentine." The 

 Mammoth Stringless Green Pod is just such a 

 variety as market gardeners have been hoping 

 for. We cannot recommend it too strongly, 

 knowing that it will give abundant satisfaction 

 to all who plant it this year. As a Bean for the 

 piivate garden it cannot be equalled, and as a 

 variety for the trucker, who must have both 

 qualitv and productiveness, it will be found most 

 profitable. Our stock, although we have not as 

 much as we would like, is pure, and we ofTer 

 seed at the following prices : Pkt., 10 cts., 

 postpaid ; pt.. 25 cts ; qt., 40 cts.; 4 qts., $1.25 ; 

 peck, §2 00. (// l>y """^' "''''' S '''■^- f"' -?*"''' 

 15 cts. per quart.)
