Musk melon 

 Hearts of Gold, or Imp'd Hoodoo 



505 The vines make a strong and vigorous growth, which makes them remarkably 

 disease-resistant and subsequently prolific of delightfully flavored fruits. 

 The Melons are of medium size, round, and present a fine, attractive appear- 

 ance. The rind and flesh are very firm, the skin is thickly netted, and the 

 flesh a rich, deep orange color, fine grained with a very small seed cavity and 

 of remarkable sweetness and spicy flavor. Pkt., 10 cts.; oz., 25 cts.; £ lb., 

 60 cts.; lb., $2.00. 



Prizetaker Onion 



578 The large size and handsome appearance of this Onion makes it equally de- 

 sirable for the home garden or for market. It is strictly "fancy," and is 

 found on fruit stands during the fall, where it is sold as Spanish Onion, and is 

 the onion grown for exhibition at Shows and County Fairs. The true Prize- 

 taker Onion is globe-shape, has pale yellow skin and white flesh, which is very 

 mild and of delicate flavor. No sets are required, as the large Onions are 

 grown the first year from seed sown during the spring, thus making it a very 

 desirable Onion for the home garden. This is a good variety of Onion for 

 sowing under glass in February for transplanting, and when started in 

 this manner immense bulbs can be raised to perfection. This transplanting 

 method also improves their keeping qualities. Pkt., 10 cts.; \ oz., 25 cts.; 

 oz., 35 cts.; \ lb., $1.00; lb., $3.50. 



Dreer's Dwarf Perfection Parsley 



600 Easily the most perfect strain of this fine and most valuable Parsley. The 

 habit is regular and compact, and the exquisitely fine and prettily curled 

 leaves are set so closely that the form of the plant is almost semi-globular. 

 The color is a wonderful bright pea-green, and flavor surpasses all other 

 Parsley. This variety combines the quality of a fine culinary herb with that 

 of a beautiful decorative plant, and is equally valuable for garnishing purposes 

 and border. Pkt, 10 cts.; oz., 25 cts.; J lb., 75 cts.; lb., $2.50.

"The President" Pea 



Here is a new introduction of outstanding quality, and which, we are sure will 

 be well received by our many customers. "The President" produces a vine 20 

 or 22 inches high, strong and vigorous, and rich dark green in color, bearing 

 straight dark green pods in profusion which measure 4 \ to 4f inches in length, 

 always well filled with sweet flavored Peas. Peas are ready for picking in 

 about 68 to 70 days and therefore it is a most valuable sort to plant along with 

 Laxtons Progress, which can be picked 7 or 8 days earlier. A trial pound or 

 two will return a very profitable crop. Pkt., 10 cts.; % lb., 25 cts.; 1 lb., 40 cts.; 

 2 lbs., 75 cts.; 5 lbs., $1.75, prepaid. 



Hearts of Gold Muskmelons 



"The President" Peas 



California Wonder Pepper 



711 This is a comparatively recent introduction and is fully 

 entitled to space in this special section of our "Garden Book." 

 The plants are sturdy and upright bearing six, seven or eight 

 smooth, blocky fruits, which mostly reach immense size, 

 measuring 4J inches in length by 4 inches in diameter. The 

 outstanding feature of the fruit, however, is the remarkable 

 thickness of their sweet crisp fleshy walls, making them un- 

 equalled for stuffing or for salads, etc. They will keep for a 

 long period after picking, too, and we are sure that California. 

 Wonder will win the approval of all who see it. Pkt., 20 cts.; 

 i oz., 65 cts.; oz., $1.00; \ lb., $3.00. 



New Perfection Radish 



795 This type of early Radish, having red skin with 

 white tip, has long been a great favorite, and 

 with this variety the white portion extends much 

 farther up than is the case with ordinary Scarlet 

 Turnip White Tip Radish. The general outline is 

 round and size medium, very uniform, with flesh 

 crisp, tender and sparkling. The rapidity of its 

 growth (it can be pulled in 20 days) recommends 

 "New Perfection" for growing in the greenhouse, 

 but it is equally as valuable for sowing in the 

 home garden outdoors. To insure a steady supply 

 of these dainty Radishes for the table, sow seed 

 every 10 days. Pkt., 10 cts.; oz., 20 cts.; \ lb., 

 50 cts.; lb., $1.75.
