JOHN BAER TOMATO 



Tliis 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 abundantly. The Tomatoes are of a 

 medium size, nearly round in shape, scarlet color and are 

 of excellent flavor. On account of the large yield, desir- 

 able size and shape, this variety is suited both for early 

 market and home use. Pkt. , 10 cts.; ^ oz. , 30 cts. ; oz., 

 50 cts.; i lb., $1.50. 



IDEAI. \EI.I.01JV GLOBE 

 ONION 



An exceedingly handsome large yellow Onion. Its gen- 

 eral characteristics stamp it as the best main crop variety 

 of its type, and we are pleased to offer it, feeling sure that 

 it will fully s-tisfy all who desire to grow large Onions 

 from seed. The bulbs are true Globe-shape, with skin of 

 a pleasing yellow color, flesh white and of a mild flavor. 

 It is not the ordinary Southport Yellow Globe, but is far 

 superior, much more productive, and we especially recom- 

 mend it for planting in the home garden. Pkt., 10 cts.; 

 oz., 40 cts.; J lb., $1.10; lb., $4 00. 



MARKET SURPRISE PEA 



This variety was sent to us by a leading seed grower in 

 England, and in a careful test, made at our trial grounds, 

 we found it to be a valuable addition to the early varieties 

 and well adapted for the use of both amateurs and market 

 gardeners. The plant grows to a height of 30 inches, 

 and is very thrifty, producing pods in large quantities. 

 Pods are large, and well filled with peas, which are re- 

 markably sweet and fine flavored. It matures the crop in 

 about sixty-five days, and is excellent for early planting. 

 Pkt., 10 cts., by mail. By express or freight, at pur- 

 chaser's expense, lb.,45-cts.; 2 lbs., 80 cts. (if wanted 

 by Parcel Post add as stated on page 20); 10 lbs., $3.50. 



DREER'S SPECIAI^ 

 CROSBY'S EGYPTIAN BEET 



This special selection of extra early Beet is as great an im- 

 provement over the ordinary Crosby Egyptian as the latter va- 

 riety is over the old-time Egyptian Blood Turnip Beet, and is 

 valuable both for the private gardener and those who grow 

 Beets for market. In the production of this seed, selection is 

 not only made for shape, but also for extreme earliness and 

 high quality. The skin is very smooth, bright red and flesh- 

 vermilion, very sweet and tender. Pkt., 10 cts.; oz., 25 cts.; 

 J lb., 70 cts.; lb., $2.25. 



EARLY FORTUNE CUCUMBER 



Cucumbers of the "White Spine" type are most desirable on 

 account of their attractive appearance and good quality. This 

 variety was originally discovered in a field of "Davis Perfect," 

 and is now so thoroughly established that large fields do not 

 show any variation either in plant or fruit. The Cucumbers are 

 slightly longer than ' ' Arlington White Spine," more cylind- 

 rical in shape, with very dark green skin and thick flesh, which 

 is tender and crisp, making it especially good for slicing. Pkt., 

 10 cts.; oz., 20 cts.; J lb., 60 cts.; lb., $2.00. 



DELICIOUS GOLD LINED 

 MUSKMELON 



Growers of muskmelons, both for home use and for market, 

 will be delighted with "Delicious Gold Lined." The melon is 

 nearly round, and the skin is covered with a thick grayish net- 

 ting, adding much to its appearance. The flesh is green, with 

 slight golden tint next to the seed cavity, and the flavor is de- 

 licious, being remarkably sweet and juicy. Pkt., 10 cts.; oz., 

 25 cts.; J lb., 70 cts.; lb., $2.25.
