Dreer's Select Strain 

 Globe Tomato 



910 This is fast replacing old Acme in the principal Tomato grow- 

 ing centres of the South. Over Florida especially, Globe 

 Tomato now rules supreme, since no other variety we know 

 may be picked green, crated and shipped north, arriving in as 

 perfect condition and color as beautiful as the fruits of Globe. 

 Fruits are borne in clusters of 4 to 6. They average 6 ounces 

 each, are perfectly globe-shaped, except in the first clusters on 

 which the largest specimens are inclined to be somewhat fiat, 

 showing the Ponderosa blood in this variety. Globe is among 

 the most solid of all tomatoes, of delightfully mild flavor, and 

 of beautiful pink or purple color which never fails to attract 

 the eye on market. Pkt., 20 cts.; J oz., 65 cts.; oz., $1.00; 

 f lb., $3.50. 



California Wonder Pepper 



711 This is a comparatively recent introduction and is fuUy 

 entitled to space in this special section of our "Garden Book." 

 The plants are sturdy and upright bearing six, seven or eight 

 smooth, blocky fruits, which mostly reach immense size. The 

 outstanding feature of the fruit, however, is the remarkable 

 thickness of their sweet crisp fleshy walls, making them un- 

 equalled for stuffing or for salads, etc. They will keep for a 

 long period after picking, too, and we are sure that Cal. 

 Wonder will win the approval of all who see it. Pkt., 20 cts.; 

 i oz., 65 cts.; oz., $1.00; i lb., $3.00.

Dreer's "All Season's" Foliage Turnip 



Dreer's Earliest White Olive Radish 



818 The beautiful shape and quick growth make this Radish the most desirable of 

 the white olive-shaped sorts. It may be grown in the garden, or used for forcing, 

 and in either case will produce Radishes of a size suitable for use in a very short 

 time. In fact we believe it to be the earliest white olive-shaped Radish in existence, 

 and are quite sure that it will please all who plant it. The skin is an attractive, 

 transparent ivory-white and the flesh sparkling white, very crisp, tender and 

 juicy. Pkt., 10 cts.; oz., 20 cts.; i lb., 50 cts.; lb., $1.75. 



Dreer's '*A11 Season's" Foliage Turnip 



961 We have pleasure in offering to our customers this new Turnip variety, developed 

 in the Orient and which is destined to become a popular and profitable crop in all 

 parts of the country, on account of its adaptability to our widely varying climatic 

 and soil conditions, to its extraordinary rapid growth, and also to disease and 

 insect resisting qualities, all spraying and dusting being unnecessary. The tops or 

 greens grow large, upright, thick, tender and wholesome, free from lice, and yield 

 repeated cuttings, according to time of sowing seed and length of season. Cutting 

 can be started in from 25 to 30 days after seed is sown. These served as greens are 

 equal in every way to the best spinach. The roots equal in quality the finest 

 turnips, and in our trials we pulled fine roots 3| inches in diameter, round, slightly 

 flattened, with pure white skin and flesh and without blemish inside or out, in 35 

 days from seed sown in early April. These turnips will grow nearly double the 

 size mentioned here without loss of fine quality. Repeated sowings may be 

 made from early spring right into fall, for these plants will successfully resist 

 both hot dry weather of summer, and also cold spring and fall rains. Keep 

 some of this seed on hand. Use it anywhere and everywhere you can, for keep 

 in mind that the tops make delicious greens, cut without retarding the growth 

 of the roots. One ounce will sow a 250 foot row, and 2 pounds will sow an acre. 

 Culture similar to turnips, but allow an inch or so more in the rows. Pkt., 20 

 cts.; I oz., 50 cts.; oz., 90 cts.; J lb., $3.00. 



A collection of fine vegetable seeds often makes a very appropriate gift. See page 8.
