SPECIALTIES -"VEGETABLE SEEDS 



HHMH>mi\ 



Detroit Dark Red Beet 



149 A choice early variety. The tops make an upright growth, 

 thus allowing of planting in close rows, a valuable fea- 

 ture where space is limited. The roots are globe shaped, 

 skin blood red and flesh rich red, zoned with a darker 

 shade. The Beets are sweet when cooked, and it is a 

 splendid variety for canning. Ready for u?e within 60 

 days after sowing seeds. Pkt., 10 cts.; oz., 20 cts.; \ lb., 

 50 cts.; lb., $1.50. 



Golden Acre Cabbage 



204 This excellent new variety is the earliest round headed 

 Cabbage. It will mature at least 7 days ahead of the 

 earliest strains of Jersey Wakefield, considered the stand- 

 ard Early of the country. The heads of Golden Acre 

 cabbage are perfectly round, firm, and of exceptionally 

 fine texture, heavy mid-ribs being entirely absent. They 

 average in weight about 4 pounds and produce very few 

 outer leaves, permitting close planting in the row. A 

 valuable addition to the list of fine Cabbages. Pkt., 20 

 cts.; | oz., 80 cts.; oz., $1.50; \ lb., $4.00. 



Wong Bok Chinese Cabbage 



222 It really is not a cabbage but a Mustard, forming a com- 

 pact, elongated, tightly folded head. Weigh from 5 to 8 

 lbs. and are good all the way through. Delicious served 

 as a salad w ith a French dressing, or like Cole Slaw, with 

 Mayonnaise. The green portion of the leaves may also 

 be served like Spinach, while the heavy midribs are very 

 palatable like Swiss Chard, or Asparagus. Wong Bok is 

 entirely self folding and the heads 

 need no tying up or blanching of any 

 kind. Should not be sown before August 

 1. Pkt., 10 cts.; \ oz., 30 cts.; oz., 50 

 cts.; i lb., $1.50. 



Dreer's Perfect 

 Forcing Carrot 



240 Carrots are, comparatively speaking, 

 of easy culture, taking up a minimum 

 of space in the garden, while the young 

 product are especially nourish- 

 ing and appetizing. Our Perfect 

 Forcing is of particularly fine 

 quality, and we heartily recom- 

 mend it. Easily one of the 

 most popular of the early car- 

 rots, equally useful for the out- 

 door garden as well as growing 

 under glass. 



It is a fine, half long variety of 

 most symmetrical shape, uni- 

 form size, and has a remarkably 

 small top. Of attractive bright 

 scarlet color, crisp, and with a 

 singularly small core, so small 

 in fact that in the young pro- 

 duct it is hardly noticeable. It 

 is not particular as to soil and 

 yields splendid crops under or- 

 dinary home garden conditions. 

 Pkt., 10 cts.; f oz., 15 cts.; oz., 

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



Emperor Celery 



269 A very special strain of late 

 keeping Celery for winter use. 

 Of dwarf type averaging 18 

 inches in height, with thick 

 white stalks and large, solid, 

 pale yellow heart. Very crisp, 

 with no stringiness, and of 

 splendid flavor. Pkt., 10 cts.. 

 \ oz., 30 cts.; oz., 50 cts.; \ lb., 

 $1.75. 



Golden Acre Cabbage 



Dry- Weather Cauliflower 



256 A fine variety of Cauliflower, especially adapted for grow- 

 ing in the open ground in sections subjected to long, dry 

 seasons, as it will grow well and produce the finest heads in 

 spite of the lack of moisture, which is required by other 

 sorts. The heads grow to a large size, are very solid, pure 

 white and of delicious flavor. It is not suited for forcing or 

 growing under glass, but it will prove valuable in the Southern 

 States, where the climate is hot and where long seasons of 

 dry weather are experienced. One of the safest sorts for' 

 the amateur to grow. Pkt., 25 cts.; \ oz., $1.75; -J oz., $3.00; 

 oz., $5.50.
