NOVELTIES AND SPECIALTIES IN VEGETABLE SEEDS 



327 Sugar Corn — 

 Dreer's Extra-Early Independence 



We highly recommend Dreer's Extra-Early Independence to all 

 gardeners who desire a first-class early Sugar Com. The plants 

 make a vigorous growth and produce a splendid crop of large, well 

 shaped ears measuring 6 to 7 inches in length. There are 10 or 

 12 rows of grains neatly arranged in straight rows around a small 

 cob. The thin-skinned grains are milky white and have a lusciously 

 sweet and toothsome flavor. Well suited for succession plantings 

 for a continued supply. Pkt. 10c; J lb. 25c; lb. 40c' 2 lbs. 75c;

337 Sugar Corn — 

 Kingscrost Bantam — Disease Resistant 



This is one of the new disease-resistant hybrid varieties of Sweet 

 Com which are so valuable wherever com growing has been handi- 

 capped by the destructive Stewart's Disease. It is a double cross 

 between inbred strains of Golden Bantam. The shape of the ears 

 is not unlike Golden Bantam but they measure 8 inches long and 

 are set with 8 rows of broad, deep, creamy kernels enclosing a 

 generous quantity of luscious pulp with all the sweetness and 

 buttery flavor as found in the original Golden Bantam. Early 

 productive, and exceptionally uniform. Pkt. 20c; J lb. 45c; lb. 75c. 



383 Cucumber — Longcu 



A fancy cucumber growing 12 to 13 inches in length. Of beautiful 

 appearance with deep green skin and few spines. Greatly resembles 

 the greenhouse product though it is as well suited to growing out- 

 doors as under glass. Its surprising earlincss is another of its 

 valuable features. Has beautiful white flesh of rich flavor. 

 Pkt. 15c; oz. 35c; i lb. $1.00; lb. $3.50.

Unrivaled Lettuce 



458 Lettuce — Unrivaled 



A handsome early butterhead Lettuce of extra choice quality. 

 Develops well formed, closely folded heads with golden yellow hearts 

 within 60 days from sowing. An all season variety for cool sections 

 but best for spring sowing where summers are hot. The well- 

 blanched heart is crisp and has a rich buttery flavor. Pkt. 10c; 

 i oz. 2Sc; oz. 3Sc; i lb. Sl.OO. 



462 Lettuce — Dreer's Improved Hanson

 curled, light green leaves enclosing a large crisp white heart of

 for summer growing. Pkt 10c; J oz. 20c; oz. 30c; i lb. 90c

509 Muskmelon — Honey Rock 



This new Muskmelon is outstanding for the delicious sweetness 

 and rich aroma of its tender, luscious, salmon-colored flesh. The 

 fruits are almost round. They are of medium size but have ex- 

 tremely thick flesh surrounding the small seed cavity in the center. 

 The skin of the heavy fruits is a gray-green color showing a rough 

 netting. Pkt. ISc; oz. 25c; i lb. 60c; lb. $1.75. 



559 Mustard Spinach — Tendergreen 



While this is a Mus- 

 tard its mild, pleasing 

 flavor is much more 

 like that of Spinach 

 which it also greatly 

 resembles in the tex- 

 ture of the foliage. The 

 plant is highly recom- 

 mended to be grown 

 in place of Spinach as 

 it is little affected by 

 hot and dry weather. 



The plant makes a quick growth with 

 the leaves being ready in 3 to 4 weeks 

 after sowing. For a continuous supply 

 make succession sowings a week or 10 

 days apart Pkt 10c; oz. 20c; i lb. 50c; 

 lb. $1.25. 



587 Onion— Valencia 



This is the best of the large sweet Spanish Onions. Valued for 

 its exceptionally mild and sweet flavor. We consider it the best of 

 the Spanish Onions because it will grow to truly enormous size if 

 conditions are anywhere near favorable. In some ways it resembles 

 the popular Prizetaker but the onions are considerably larger and 



consequently heavier in weight. 

 The onions are round and have a 

 beautiful golden yellow skin and 

 pure white flesh. With the 

 proper culture they will develop 

 into magnificent specimens of 

 the prize-winning type. For ex- 

 hibition start the seed indoors 

 early and transplant to the gar- 

 den at the proper season. 

 Pkt. 15c; oz. 35c; i lb. $1.00; 

 lb. S3.50. 



588 Onion — 

 White Bunching 



This variety does hot form any bulbs 

 but it is grown extensively for green 

 onions and scallions. Sow the seed 

 thickly in rows and earth up the plants 

 gradually to blanch the lower 3 or 4 

 inches of the thick stalks. Pkt. 10c; 

 i oz. 20c; oz. 30c; i lb. 90c; lb. S3. 00.
