Dreer's "All Heart" Lettuce 



Lettuce— Dreer's "All Heart" 



440 The name of this variety is most descriptive, because the 

 few loose outer leaves enclose a head that is one large 

 solid heart. Now thoroughly tested in all soils and sec- 

 tions, we have yet to hear of an instance where Dreer's 

 All-Heart Lettuce did not come through with flying colors. 

 While suitable for summer use in cool sections, it is pre- 

 eminently an early spring variety and gives best results in 

 soils holding an abundance of humus or other quickly 

 available plant food. The heads are of delicate yellowish 

 green color, making it a most attractive market variety. 

 The flavor is excellent. Pkt. 10c; 5 oz. 2Sc; oz. 35c; 

 J lb. $1.00. 



Lettuce — Dreer's Improved Hanson 



462 Although introduced by us over fifty years ago, this 

 Lettuce is still the prize winner among the crisp-heading 

 varieties. The fact that it has been popular for half a 

 century, and that it is stiU offered by the leading seedsmen 

 of the country is proof of its sterling qualities. It reaches 

 a large size, with light green, curled leaves with fringed 

 edges enclosing a white heart of remarkable solidity. Crisp 

 and brittle all over, and free of the flat watery taste which 

 some crispheads unfortunately have. We recommend it 

 highly for growing during the hot summer months. Pkt. 

 10c; ^ oz. 20c; oz. 30c; i lb. 90c. 



Honey Rock Muskmelon 



Muskmelon — Honey Rock 



509 A new salmon-fleshed variety of delicious sweetness and 

 rich Moma. Whfle the almost round melons are only of 

 medium size, this is fuUv compensated by the remarkably 

 thick flesh and small seed cavity. Skin is roughly netted 

 and of a grey green color. Pkt. ISc; oz. 25c; J lb. 60c; 

 lb. $1.75. 



Muskmelon 

 Hearts of Gold or Imp'd Hoodoo 



505 The vines make a strong and vigorous growth. They are 

 remarkably disease-resistant and produce a wonderful crop 

 of delightfully flavored fruits. The melons are of medium 

 size, round, and distinctly ribbed. They present a most 

 attractive appearance. The firm rind is thickly netted. 

 The flesh is rich deep orange, fine grained, and moderately 

 firm, enclosing a very small seed cavity. Of remarkable 

 sweetness and spicy flavor. Pkt. 10c; oz. 25c; j lb. 60c; 

 lb. SI. 75. 



Onion — Prize taker 



578 The large size and handsome appearance of this Onion 

 make it equally desirable for the home garden or for mar- 

 ket. The true Prizetaker Onion is globe-shaped, has pale 

 yellow skin, and white flesh, which is very mild and of 

 delicate flavor. No sets are required, as the large Onions 

 are grown the flrst year from seed sown during the spring, 

 thus making it a very desirable Onion for the home garden. 

 It also is a good variety for sowing under glass in February 

 for transplanting. When started in this manner immense 

 bulbs can be raised to perfection. Pkt. 10c; 5 oz. 20c; 

 oz. 30c; i lb. 85c; lb. $3.00. 



Dreer's Dwarf Perfection Parsley 



Parsley — Dreer's Dwarf Perfection 



600 Easily the most perfect strain of this fine dwarf Parsley. 

 The growth is even and compact, and the exquisitely fine 

 and prettily curled leaves are set very close on the plant. 

 The color is a wonderful bright pea-green. This variety 

 combines the quality of a fine culinary herb with that of a 

 beautiful decorative plant, and is equally valuable for 

 garnishing purposes and border. It surpasses all other 

 varieties of Parsley with its rich yet mild flavor. 

 Pkt. 10c; oz. 25c; i lb. 70c; lb. $2.25. 



Pea— "The President" 



702 Here is a new Pea of outstanding quality which we are 

 sure will be well received by our many customers. "The 

 President" produces a vine 20 to 22 inches high. The 

 vines are strong and vigorous, and of a rich dark green 

 color. They bear a profusion of straight, dark green pods 

 which measure 4j to 4f inches in length and always are 

 well filled with sweet-flavored peas. Peas are ready for 

 picking in about 68 to 70 days. It is therefore a most 

 valuable sort to plant along with Laxtons Progress, 

 which can be picked 7 or 8 days earlier. A trial pound 

 or two wiU return a very profitable crop. 

 Pkt. 10c; ^ lb. 25c; lb. 40c; 2 lbs. 75c; 5 lbs. $1.75.
