DREER'S MARKET GARDENERS' WHOLESALE PRICE LIST.

SEED POTATOES. 



We put up 2i^ bushels (165 lbs.) potatoes to barrel, shipping in barreb or sacks, as may suit the case, packing only first- 

 class stock, but cannot assume any risks ; therefore all shipments of potatoes are made strictly on purchaser's responsibility. We 

 usually make shipments in spring, after danger of freezing has passed, but where our customers desire earlier shipment we can 

 accommodate them. An occasional change of seed stock in planting potatoes is very important, and greatly increases the quality 

 and yield. If you have been using the same stock for several years, now is a good time to make a change and infuse new strength 

 into your crop. Our list of varieties, while not large, is made up of what we consider the most reliable sorts, and only such 

 as we can confidently recommend to our customers. 



IMPORTANT Prices of Potatoes are subject to 



market changes. Potatoes are forwarded by exx>ress 

 or. freight, as directed, purchaser pacing charges. 

 We assume no risk on Potntoes, which are for- 

 warded strictly at purchaser's responsibility. 



Dreer's New Early Standard. [See cut.) 



A valuable variety for early crop. The tubers are pro- 

 duced abundantly and are of a uniform large size. 



The plants are of dwarf compact habit in growth, 



strong and healthy, always entirely free from blight 



and disease of any kind and will also withstand almost 



any amount of drought. When the tubers are matured, 



the vines die down and never make a second growth. 



It invariably produces a large crop of beautiful smooth 



potatoes, which are roundish in shape, beautiful white 



skin, very smooth and few eyes. The quality is superb, 



flesh being pure white and cooks very mealy. Peck, 



65 cents; bu., $1.75 ; barrel, I4.50.

bright pink skin, white flesh. This variety is largely

Bovee. This variety matures its crop extremely early. 



of recent introduction, and its general good qualities have 



attracted much attention among market gardeners, farmers and 



potato growers. It is earlier than the Early Rose and a much 



more productive variety. It is said that in tests made at 



experimental stations the Bovee has even produced heavier 



crops than some of the late varieties. The vine is dwarf and 



stocky, admitting of close planting ; the tubers grow close 



together in the hill, and are generally of uniform, marketable 



size. It is pink, or flesh color, and grows very smooth, pre- 

 senting a fine appearance, and the quality is all that could be 



desired in a first-class early Potato. Peck, 60 cts.; bu.,
