Lyons Swiss Chard 



Swiss Chard — Lyons 



169 An excellent and most useful vegetable, a row or two of 

 which should be in every garden. This variety will 

 quickly produce plants from which leaves may be cut 

 all summer. You can cut right down to the ground and 

 new shoots will soon spring up and make a fast growth. 

 Those plants which are allowed to grow will make large 

 crumpled and curly dark green leaves with thick, white 

 mid-ribs which are delicious when cooked and served 

 like asparagus, whUe the leafy parts make excellent 

 "greens." Pkt. 10c; oz. 20c; i lb. 45c; lb. §1.25. 



Dreer's Giant Globe Cabbage 



Cabbcige — ^Dreer's Giant Globe 



201 For those of our customers who desire a very large Cabbage 

 we ofier this new variety. It forms an immense solid 

 head, and under favorable conditions of soil and sufficient 

 moisture often reaches a weight of 30 pounds. The 

 interior is white and very solid, and we would class it as a 

 second early, much used for late planting. Splendid 

 for sauer-kraut on account of its large size and fine white 

 interior quality. Pkt. 15c; ^ oz. 40c; oz. 75c; i lb. $2.00. 



Cabbage — Golden Acre 



204 This excellent variety is the earliest round-headed Cab- 

 bage. It wiU mature at least 7 days ahead of the earliest 

 strains of Jersey Wakefield, considered the standard 

 Early of the country. The heads of Golden Acre Cabbage 

 are perfectly round, firm, and of exceprionally 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. Pkt. 15c; J oz. 40c; 

 oz. 75c; J lb. §2.00. 



Chinese Cabbage — Impr'd Peking 



223 This fine salad vegetable resembles Cos Lettuce. The 

 head is long and compact, and all but the outer leaves 

 blanch a creamy white. Very crisp and tender, and in 

 every way adapted to the home garden. We have re- 

 cently secured a much improved strain and recommend a 

 trial. Pkt. 10c; i oz. 25c; oz. 40c; i lb. §1-00. 



Cauliflower — Dreer's Super Strain 

 Snowstorm 



261 This has again been brought to the highest point of per- 

 fection through the most careful reselection of plants by 

 our seed growers in Denmark. It has been tried by our 

 customers in many sections and they aU agree that it is 

 the best they ever grew. The plants are compact, with 

 short outer leaves and can be planted as close as 2 feet 

 apart each way. It always makes a fine, large, and 

 exceedingly beautiful snowy white head. Matures much 

 earlier than any other variety and is a sure prize-winner 

 at Fairs or Exhibitions. Pkt. 25c; i oz. §1.75; ^ oz. §3.00; 

 oz. §5.50. 



Celery — Golden Plume 



274 A large early Celery of superfine quality and splendid 

 appearance. Large heavy stalks with a fuU, solid heart 

 of golden yellow. Easy to blanch, a good keeper, and 

 always of the crisp, brittle, and nutty quality so much 

 desired. Shows a marked resistance to blight, so often 

 affecting other early yellow strains. This and our special 

 strain of Easy Blanching, offered on page 18 we consider 

 the two finest Celeries in cultivation. 

 Pkt. 25c; i oz. $1.00; i oz. §1.75; oz. §3.00.

 rich deep green skin and few spines. It equals in appear- 

 ance the greenhouse product. Longcu is suited well to 

 both outdoor and under glass production, and it is specially 

 valuable outside on account of its surprising earliness. 

 It can be picked along with Early Fortune and other 

 early sUcing sorts if the growing conditions are anywhere 

 favorable. Pkt. 15c; | oz. 35c; oz. 50c; i lb. §1.50;

 can be grown all the year round. The above sort is a 

 strong growing variety with a large white heart and broad 

 stems, good for fall and winter. On account of the 

 beautifully curled and finely cut leaves this variety is 

 used freely for garnishing as well as making a delicious
