Dreer’s Specialties in Vegetable Seeds 
Carrot 
Chantenay. This is stump-rooted and _ slightly 
tapered towards the bottom, the skin very smooth, 
orange-red in color, of very attractive appearance. 
The quality is most excellent, being very crisp and 
tender. Pkt., 10 ets.; oz., 20 cts.; 4 lb., 50 ets.; 
lb., $1.50. 
Early Scarlet Horn. May be planted very early 
in spring, and is an excellent summer variety. Tops 
small and roots grow 3 or 34 inches long with very 
little core, reddish-orange and good flavor. May be 
grown either in frames or in the open ground. Pkt., 
10 ects.; 0z., 20 ects.; 4 lb., 40 ets.; lb., $1.25. 
Improved Rubicon. This beautiful half-long 
stump-rooted Carrot is about the same length as the 
well-known Danvers, but is more cylindrical, and is 
rich dark orange in color, and is almost coreless. 
Remarkably clean-skinned, grows evenly and is easily 
pulled. Grows best in soft, deep, mellow soil, which 
has been well manured. Pkt., 10 ets.3 0z., 20 cts.; 
4 Ib. 50 ets.; Ib., $1.50. 
Cauliflower 
Dreer’s Earliest Snowstorm. We have given 
this variety much care and attention, and the un- 
iformly good results received by growers using our 
“Snowstorm” convince us that we have the very 
best and earliest strain of Cauliflower, both for forc- 
ing and for growing in the open ground. It has 
been used by our customers in all sections; and the 
report is alike from each. “The best they ever 
grew.’ It is a dwarf variety, with short outer leaves 
and can be planted close, 2 feet apart each way. 
It always makes a fine, large and exceedingly beau- 
tiful snowy white head, much earlier than any other 
variety. Pkt., 25 ets.; 4 oz., $1.75; 4 0z., $3.00; 
oz., $5.50. 
404 Early Black Beauty. 
Egg Plant 
Spineless, with rich pur- 
plish black skin; very attractive and of best quality. 
This beautiful Egg-Plant is a great improvement over 
the well-known and largely grown New York Im- 
proved, but more exacting than that standard, in 
calling for rich, warm soil. The plants are remark- 
ably healthy in their growth and produce an abun- 
dance of large fruit. Pkt., 15 ets.; 4 oz, 40 cts.; 
oz., 75 ets.; 4 lb., $2.00.
