RaM Mpimil GolileE DresdeL"

 skin and very small top, ready for the table in 

 four weeks from sowing in the open ground; 

 flesh white and crisp, and of fine flavor. Can 

 be sown in close rows; is a sure cropper. The improvement of 

 this sort over the Golden Dresden is that it is earlier, smaller

New Pea "Grate" 



An iciriy w) iiikUd variety of the 

 highest type of perfection ; grows 2j 

 feet in height, is a vigorous grower; 

 of light green color; pods and grain 

 of very large size. The result of 

 our experiments during the season of 

 1897 was an utter surprise to us, in 

 finding a green wrinkled variety with 

 a pod such as the "Gradus" pro- 

 duces to mature only three days after 

 Dreer's Eureka Extra Early, hence 

 we claim it to be the earliest wrinkled 

 Pea known. The large pods produce 

 from 7 to 9 large shouldered Peas 

 each, which when cooked retain 

 their beautiful soft green, and are 

 rich and mellow. The Gradus has 

 taken the highest award and first- 

 class certificate at the Royal Horticul- 

 tural Society, England. It is suffi- 

 ciently hardy to be planted with the 

 Extra Early types. Don't fail to give 

 the Gradus a trial.

RaflM "Dreer's Earliest White 

 Me Forciu£," 



Dreer's Earliest White Globe Forcing. 

 The earliest white Radish in exist- 

 ence, bearing a beauiilul oval-shaped Radish, with transparent ivory-while skin, 

 very small root, also ?niail top; flesh white, lender and crisp. After two years' 



thorough trial, we are convinced of the 

 superior quality of this sort, being one of 

 the most attractive varieties ol an early 

 forcing type. It is particularly adapted 

 to forcing in greenhouse or hotbed, thus 

 giving a supply through the winter and 

 early spring months ; is the quickest ma- 

 turing -ort for ojien ground during the 

 sprinj;. summer and fall. The above 

 illustration is from a bunch from open 

 ground 18 days after sowing.

Tomato ''Houor BriEht." 



We believe this to be a grand 

 acquisition to the list of Tomatoes ; 

 having given it a thorough trial, we 

 are ready to endorse all that the 

 introducer says in its favor. Its 

 chief peculiarities are its solidity ; 

 changes of color the fruit under- 

 i; >e5 during development: first it is 

 ■ '""' j^>'''e>t, then an attractive 7c'iix}- 

 loliite. then lemon changing to red ; 

 it is, nevertheless its peculiarities, 

 one of the longest keeping varie- 

 ties and of excellent quality ; it can 

 be shipped in barrels like apples, 

 and if picked in the early stage they 

 can be stored in a cool place and 

 will keep from one to four weeks.
