Crimson Giant Radish. 



CRIMSON GIANT RADISH. 



This is an entire])' new variety, suitable 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 still remain solid, not showing the least sign of 

 becoming hollow. The ordinary forcing Radish, after growing 

 to the size oftwo or three inches in circumference, and weigh- 

 ing about J ounce, becomes pithy and unfit fur eating, while 

 the Crimson Giant will grow to six and seven inches -in circum- 

 ference, weigh about one ounce, and still remain solid and juicy, 

 free from all signs of becoming soft. In shape this new Radish 

 is round to oval, and is very aitractive. The seed is scarce, so 

 that it can only be sold by the packet this season. Price per 

 pkt., 15 cts.; 2 pkts., 25 cts. 



FROGJIORE 

 SELECTED TOMATO. 



A forcing variety of great merit. The plants are healthy and 

 very productive, the fruit growing in large clusters. Shape 

 round, color deep bright red, and the tomatoes grow very 

 smooth. It is one of the best varieties for the commercial 

 grower, and will produce more weight of fruit to the plant than 

 any other variety. Pkt., 15 cts.; J oz., 30 cts.; oz., 50 cts.. 



DREER'S COLORED PLATE VEGETABLES. 



DREER'S 



" WONDER " 



BISH LIMA BEAN. 



A careful test of leading varieties and strains of Bush Lima 

 Beans, made by us during Inst summer, showed that without an 

 exception Dreer's" Wonder " Bush Lima was the most valuable 

 of all. It upheld our claim both as to earliness and true bush 

 character. This variely was introduced by us in 1898. It is an 

 improvement on Burpee's Bush Lima, and grows absolutely in 

 the bush form. The plants are upright and compact in growth, 

 and are completely covered with large pods, many of which 

 contain four beans, which are fully as large as the largest of the Pole 

 Limas. The beans are of flat shape, and equal in flavor to the 

 well-known Dreer's Pole Lima. Pkt., 10 cts.; pint, 25 cts. 

 (postpaid, 33 cts.) ; qt., 40 cts. (postpaid, 55 cts.) ; 4 qts., $1.25, 

 by express. 



Can Well Call Them "Wonder." 



Mr. A. E. Shaper, Canajoharie, X. Y., October 28, 1902, 

 writes: "Among the seeds ordered of you last spring was a pint 

 of Dreer's "Wonder" Bush Lima Beans, and you can well call 

 them " VVonde?:'" I planted them on May 30th, and my neigh- 

 bors said it was too late ; but this was not true, as we never had 

 a vegetable in the garden to do so well. Our neighbors as well 

 as ourselves had all the Lima Beans we wanted from them, and 

 we still have two quarts saved for seed. Lovers of good Lima 

 Beans should not fail to plant this variety."

ARISTOCRAT SWEET CORN. 



This variety of early Sweet. Corn has been grown for some 

 years past by a gardener who supplies truck to the aristocrats at 

 Newport, R. I.; he would not allow any of the seed to get into 

 the hands of his competitors, thus having a monopoly, and as it 

 was the finest Sweet Corn that came to the market, he found no 

 difficulty in disposing of all he raised. It is an extra early 

 variety, ripening with the Cory; stalks grow 4 to 6 feet high and 

 ears are of large size, measuring 8 to 10 inches in length. . The 

 grains are extremely sweet and sugary ; being decidedly broad, 

 allow of easy scoring with a knife preparatory to buttering when 

 eating from the cob. Pkt., 10 cts.; pt,, 25 cts. (postpaid, 30 

 cts.); qt., 40 cts. (postpaid, 50 cts.); 4 qts.. 81 00 ; peck, $1.50. 



EIRST AND BEST RADISH. 



A beautiful half-long Radish of very early maturity. The color 

 is rich deep scarlet, size medium, making it very dainty. The 

 tops are small, and roots grow uniform in size and shape, taper- 

 ing as depicted in colored plate opposite. The quality is fine, 

 being delightfully crisp and juicy. We know of no half-long 

 Radish that will equal this new variety. Pkt., 10 cts.; oz., 15 

 cts.; i lb., 40 cts.; lb., $1.25. 



MAGNUS TOMATO. 



This distinct variety is decidedly the best Tomato introduced in 

 recent years. It is medium early, very deep from stem to blos- 

 som, and ripens evenly without cracking. The color is an 

 attractive rosy pink, and flavor all that could be desired. Plants 

 are of strong growth, make. small joints, setting clusters of fruits 

 much closer than most sorts, thus making it a heavy cropper. 

 Pkt., 10 cts.; oz., 30 Cts.; \ lb., 85 Cts.
