IMPROVED RUBICON CARROT 



This beautiful half-long stump- root Carrot originated in Rhode 

 Island. It is the result of careful breeding, and in shape and 

 color most desirable. The Carrots grow about the same length 

 as the well-known Danvers, but thicker, and are rich dark orange 

 in color, very sweet and of a mild flavor. It is remarkably clean- 

 skinned, grows evenly and is easily pulled; besides it is also a 

 good keeper. Grows best in a soft, deep and mellow soil, which 

 has been well manured. Pkt., lOcts.; oz., 20cts.; ^ lb., 60 

 cts.; lb., $2.00. 



TRIANON SEI.F-FOI.DING 



COS I^ETTUCE, OR ROMAINE 



SAI^AD 



This is the Lettuce that is served at the best hotels and restau- 

 rants under the name of "Romaine salad." It differs from 

 ordinary Lettuce by the shape of the leaves, which are elongated, 

 spoon-shaped and very crisp. It is grown in the same manner 

 as Cabbage Lettuce, but does not make a solid head. Sow seed 

 early in the spring in good soil, and when plants have three 

 leaves thin out to stand about four inches apart in the row, and 

 when plants are of a sufficient size the leaves should be drawn 

 together and tied, in order to blanch the inner ones. Pkt., 10 

 cts.; oz., 30 cts.; | lb., $1.00. 



DREER'S CRIMSON BAI^L, 

 RADISH 



Much care has been given the selections of the many varie- 

 ties of this type of Radish, as it is the shape and size most 

 desired. This variety embraces everything that goes to make 

 np a perfect Radish, both in size, shape and quality. The shape 

 is that of the true red turnip Radish, color crimson and flesh is 

 of a mild and pleasant flavor. It is a splendid variety for home 

 use, as it grows rapidly and is very uniform in size and shape. 

 "Crimson Ball" has been a favorite with many of our customers 

 ever since its introduction, and may be used for forcing under 

 glass as well as for growing outside in the garden, and will make 

 fine Radishes even during the hot summer months. Pkt., 10 

 cts.; oz., 25 cts.; |^ lb., 70 cts.; lb., $2.25. 



EXTRA EARLY JERSEY 

 IVHITE BUSH SQUASH 



An improved strain of the old White Bush Squash, the result of 

 selections made for a number of years by a prominent gardener. 

 It grows in the bush form, and is enormously productive. The 

 Squashes mature fully ten days earlier than the old sort, and are 

 of good size. They show less ridge or scallop, being better filled 

 out, and contain a larger amount of flesh than the parent vari- 

 ety. The Squashes cook well and the flavor is delicious. This 

 is the same type of Squash as is called "Cymling'' in the south, 

 but so much improved that it should not be compared with the 

 old-time sort. Pkt. , 10 cts. ; oz. , 25 cts. ; J lb. , 70 cts. ; lb. , $2. 25. 



PIMIENTO PEPPER 



The sweetest Pepper grown, as it does not contain the 

 slightest trace of fieriness. The plants are productive and 

 Peppers medium size and of a shape which is desirable for 

 filling, and when prepared in this manner they are delicious. 

 'It may also be used in preparing salads and for flavoring, in 

 which case it will add a fresh and delightful flavor. The flesh 

 is quite thick and the Pepper may be scalded for peeling the 

 skin off. When fully ripe the Peppers are a brilliant red color 

 and very attractive. It is largely grown in some sections for 

 canning, and, either canned or fresh from the vine, it will be 

 found very useful in making salads. Pkt. , 10 cts. ; J oz. , 40 cts. ; 

 oz., 75 cts.; J lb., $2.25. 



LONG CREAM 

 VEGETABLE MARROIV 



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.; J lb., $1.00.
