SPECIALTIES '"VEGETABLE SEEDl 



Golden Plume Celery 



Dreer's Perfect Forcing Carrot 



240 Carrots are, comparatively speaking, of easy culture, taking 

 up a minimum of space in the garden, while the young product 

 are especially nourishing and appetizing. Our Perfect Forcing 

 is of particularly fine quality, and we heartily recommend it. 

 Easily one of the most popular of the early carrots, 

 equally useful for the outdoor garden as well as 

 growing under glass. It is a fine, half long variety 

 of most symmetrical shape, uniform size, and has a 

 remarkably small top. Of attractive bright scarlet 

 color, crisp, and with a singularly small core, so 

 small in fact that in the young product it is hardly 

 noticeable. It is not particular as to soil and yields 

 splendid crops under ordinary home garden con- 

 ditions. Pkt., 10 cts.; J oz., 15 cts.; oz., 25 cts.; 

 i lb., 70 cts.; lb., $2.25. 



Golden Plume Celery 



274 A large early Celery of superfine quality and ap- 

 pearance. Large heavy stalks with a full, solid 

 heart of golden yellow, easy to blanch, a good 

 keeper, and always of the crisp, brittle and nutty 

 quality so much desired. Shows a marked resis- 

 tance to blight, so often affecting the early yellow 

 strains and this with our special strain of Origi- 

 nator's Golden Self-Blanching, offered on page 20, 

 we consider the two finest Golden Celeries in culti- 

 vation. Pkt., 25 cts.; i oz., $1.50; i oz., $2.75; 

 oz., $5.00. 



Emperor Celery 



259 A very special strain of late keeping Celery for 

 winter use. Of dwarf type averaging 18 inches in 

 height, with thick white stalks and large, solid, pale 

 yellow heart. Very crisp, with no stringiness, and 

 of splendid flavor. Pkt., 10 cts.; J oz., 30 cts.; 

 oz., 50 cts.; \ lb., $1.75. 



Golden Gem Sugar Corn (New) 



323 Golden Gem, another fine introduction to be credited to the 

 North Dakota Agricultural Experiment Station will produce 

 ears seven or eight days earlier than the Golden Sunshine. 

 This will, undoubtedly, make it of particular interest, espe- 

 cially to our many friends in the northern border states. The 

 ears which are about the same size as Bantam or slightly 

 larger are deliciously sweet and grow very low on a remark- 

 ably short stalk. In fact, the lower ear sometimes is on the 

 stalk at a point just below the surface of the soil. We want 

 all of our customers, particularly those who only enjoy a short 

 growing season, to try this valuable variety. Pkt., 15 cts.; 

 § lb., 30 cts. ; lb., 50 cts. ; 2 lbs., 90 cts. ; 5 lbs., $2.00, prepaid. 



Early Fortune Cucumber 



371 A splendid selection of "White Spine," bearing large numbers 

 of handsome, uniform fruits, cylindrical in shape, with very 

 dark green skin and thick flesh, tender and crisp. Pkt., 10 cts. ; 

 oz., 20 cts.; \ lb., 50 cts.; lb., $1.75. 



Broad-leaved Dandelion 



401 The Dandelion until recent years had been known only as a 

 troublesome weed, but it has now been so greatly improved 

 that it is now recognized as a most healthful early spring 

 vegetable, eaten either raw as salad, or cooked and served like 

 greens. Our strain of Broad-leaved Dandelion produces large 

 bushy plants, with broad, succulent leaves of a slightly bitter 

 flavor. Quality is considerably improved by blanching the 

 plants, which can be done by covering them with leaves or 

 other litter, although boarding up like celery or covering with 

 inverted boxes will give better results. Pkt., 20 cts.; ? oz., 

 70 cts.; oz., $1.25; i lb., $4.00. 



Dreer's Giant Fringed Endive 



412 Endive is a plant of rapid growth highly esteemed for table 

 use and in some states can be grown all the year round. This 

 is a strong growing variety with a large white heart and 

 broad stems, good for fall and winter. On account of the beau- 

 tifully curled and finely cut leaves this variety is used freely 

 for garnishing as. well as making a delicious salad. Pkt., 10 

 cts. ; oz., 25 cts. ; j lb., 75 cts.
