Dreer's New Pepper '*Rainbow" 



734 A most interesting, ornamental, and at the same time practical 

 addition to the varieties now offered. The fruits are long and 

 conical in shape, and from the early green, the color passes 

 into white, then to a golden yellow, and finally to a brilliant 

 scarlet. The plant is unusually prolific, consequently bearing 

 fruits in the different stages of development, and the effective 

 contrast of rich colors is very striking. The quality of the 

 fruit is very high, being thick fleshed and very mild flavored. 

 Stock limited. In packets only, 25 cts. 



Pimiento Pepper 



732 The sweetest Pepper grown, as it does not contain the slightest 

 trace of fieriness. The plants are productive and Peppers 

 medium size and of a shape which is desirable for filling, pre- 

 pared in which manner they are delicious. It may also be 

 used in salads and for flavoring. Pkt., 10 cts.; J oz., 35 cts.; 

 oz., 65 cts.; i lb., $1.90. For Plants, see page 212. 



Dreer's Earliest 

 White Olive Radish 



818 The beautiful shape and quick growth make this Radish the 

 most desirable of the white olive-shaped sorts. It may be 

 grown in the garden, or used for forcing, and in either case 

 will produce Radishes of a size suitable for use in a very short 

 time. In fact we believe it to be the earliest white olive- 

 shaped Radish in existence, and are quite sure that it will 

 please all who plant it. The skin is an attractive, transparent 

 ivory-white and the flesh sparkling white, very crisp, tender 

 and juicy. Pkt, 10 cts.; oz., 20 cts.; fib., 50 cts.; lb., $1.75.

Rainbow Pepper 



Cardinal Globe Radish 



770 Those who like the crisp little red Radishes that come so early 

 will be pleased with this variety. The Radishes grow globular 

 in shape, and are of a most brilliant cardinal-red color. It 

 will stand considerable heat; therefore, it is a quick grower, 

 and the quality is fine, being crisp and tender. It is by far 

 the best variety for forcing, and also does well in open ground, 

 thus making it an extremely valuable and desirable sort for 

 planting in the home garden and for market gardeners' use. 

 Pkt., 10 cts.; oz., 20cts.; Jib., 50 cts.; lb., $1.75. 



Dreer's Improved 

 Long-Standing Spinach 



845 Most varieties of Spinach have the bad habit of shooting to 

 seed before half of the crop has been disposed of, but the out- 

 standing feature of the above sort is its remarkable long 

 standing qualities. Leaves are a rich dark green, broad and 

 pointed, and much crumpled, and a sowing of this variety 

 every 3 or 4 weeks will insure a constant supply of this health- 

 ful vegetable. Pkt., 10 cts.; oz., 15 cts.; i lb., 30 cts.; lb., 

 85 cts. 



Squash Cocozelle Bush 



862 It has only been recently that scientists have discovered the 

 presence of remarkable quantities of vitamines in summer 

 squash, and doctors now prescribe an abundance of squash for 

 children backward in physical development. One of the 

 richest vitamine-bearers among summer squash is Cocozelle 

 Bush, a handsome oblong dark green Italian variety liberally 

 speckled with contrasting marks. Being of compact bush 

 growth, a dozen plants will not take up any more room than 

 a 15 foot row of bush beans and will provide from 2 to 3 

 dozen handsome fruits averaging 2 to 3 pounds each. This 

 variety is unsurpassed in richness of the cooked product, which 

 is of distinct aromatic flavor and aroma. Pkt., 10 cts.; oz., 

 20 cts.; i lb., 60 cts.; lb., $2.00. 



Delicious Squash 



864 This fall and winter Squash is finer grained and more delicious 

 than the well-known Hubbard. The skin is green, with an 

 occasional blue specimen; size about same as Hubbard. The 

 shell is not very thick but hard and strong; flesh is thick and 

 of a bright yellow color; fine grained and of splendid quality. 

 Pkt., 10 cts.; oz., 20 cts.; | lb., 60 cts.; lb., $2.00.
