Dry- Weather Cauliflower 
256 A fine variety of Cauliflower, especially adapted for growing 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.; J oz., $1.75; 
£ oz., $3.00; oz., $5.50. 
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.; J lb., $1.75. 
Golden Plume Celery 
274 A large early Celery of superfine 
quality and rppe*ran.-e. Large 
heavy stalks with a full, 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 the early 
yellow strains and this with our 
special strain of Originator's Golden 
Self Blanching, offered on page 22, 
we consider the two finest Golden 
Celeries in cultivation. Pkt., 25 
cts.; { oz., $1.75; J oz., $3.00; 
oz., $5.50. 
Emperor Celery 
Golden Sun-shine Sugar Corn 
Dreer's Extra Early Sugar 
Corn "Independence" 
327 The chief objections to most of the extra earlies have been that high quality has been 
lacking and the ear too small and too loosely covered. These drawbacks we have now 
overcome, and we now offer this delicious corn which will produce ears equal in quality 
to the best of the later maturing sorts. On stalks averaging 3 J feet high, 2 and sometimes 
3 large ears are produced. These ears are 6 to 7 inches long, with 10 or 12 rows of plump, 
milky grains of surprising sweetness. At our trials in New Jersey this corn was ready 
in 60 days from the date of planting and is a week or ten days earlier than White Cory, 
which has up to now been the best quality corn among the white extra earlies. The 
dwarf growth of the stalk makes it very desirable for growing in the garden of limited 
size. Pkt., 15 cts.; \ lb., 30 cts.; lb., 55 cts.; 2 lbs., $1.00; 5 lbs., $2.25, prepaid. 
Golden Sunshine Sugar Corn 
322 This valuable variety was developed and introduced by Dr. Yeager of the North Dakota 
Agricultural Experiment Station and has instantly sprung into popular favor. Of a 
rich golden color the ears are about one inch longer than Bantam, and have 12 rows 
instead of 8, while quality is fully equal to the latter sort. Most important, however, is 
the exceptional earliness of Golden Sunshine, for it is actually from 7 to 10 days earlier 
thin Bantam. Originators stock. Pkt., 15 cts.; f lb-, 50 cts.; lb., 55 cts.; 2 lbs , $1.00; 
5 lbs., $2.25, prepaid. 
Klondike Cucumber 
382 Of rich datk green color, fully developed specimens rival greenhouse grown fruits in 
beasuty and sysHneisry. Average speokoens are 6 to 7 indies long by 2| inches in 
diameter. Reaches this size wjfchin 55 to 60 days and tie exceedingly vigorous vines- 
continue bearing during a long season. Equally useful for pickles or slicing, Klondike 
may be termed a good "allround" cu.cumber for home and market garden alike. Pkt., 
10 cts.; oz., 20 cts.; { lb., 50 cts.; lb., $1.50.
