Chinese Cabbage, 

 Improved Peking 



221 This fine salad vegetable resembles 

 Cos Lettuce. The head is long and 

 compact, and all but the outer leaves 

 blanch a creamy white. Very crisp 

 and tender, and in every way 

 adapted for the home garden. We 

 have recently secured a much im- 

 proved strain and recommend a 

 trial. Pkt., 10 cts.; \ oz., 30 cts.; 

 oz., 50 cts.; i lb., $1.50. 



Dreer's Extra Early Sugar 

 Corn "Independence" 



327 The chief objections to most of the extra 

 earlies have been that high quality has been 

 lacking and the ear too small and too loosely 

 covered. These drawbacks we have now 

 overcome, and we now offer this delicious 

 corn which will produce ears equal in 

 quality to the best of the later maturing 

 sorts. On stalks averaging 3| feet 

 high, 2 and sometimes 3 large ears 

 are produced. These ears are 6 to 7 

 incheslong, with 10 or 12 rows of plump, 

 milky grains of surprising sweetness. At 

 our trials in New Jersey this corn was 

 ready in 60 days from the date of 

 planting. Pkt., 10 cts.; \ lb., 25 cts.; 

 lb., 40 cts.; 2 lbs., 75 cts.; 5 lbs., $1.75, 

 prepaid. 



Chinese or Celery Cabbage 

 Improved Peking 



Fancy Cucumber — Longcu 



Longcu Cucumber 



383 A fancy Cucumber growing 12 or 13 inches in length, with rich deep green 

 skin and few spines, equal in appearance to the greenhouse product. Longcu is 

 suited equally well to both outdoor and under glass production, and is specially 

 valuable outside on account of its surprising earliness, as it can be picked along 

 with Early Fortune, and other early slicing sorts. Under reasonably favourable 

 conditions, Longcu will produce outside, fruits 3 inches longer than the accom- 

 panying photo. Pkt., 15 cts.; i oz., 35 cts.; oz., 60 cts.; i lb., $1.75; lb., $6.00. 



Dreer's All -Heart Lettuce 



440 The name is truly descriptive, because the few loose outer leaves cause the heads 

 to be almost entirely solid hearts. Now thoroughly tested in all soils and sections, 

 we have yet to hear of an instance where Dreer's All-Heart Lettuce did not come 

 through with flying colors. The heads are of delicate yellowish-green color, 

 making it most attractive. The flavor is excellent and in crispness it surpasses the 

 majority of other butter-heads. Pkt., 10 cts.; i oz., 25 cts.; oz., 45 cts.; J lb. ,$1.25. 



Dreer's Mushroom Spawn 



The idea that good Mush- 

 rooms can only be produced 

 in caves, pits and houses which 

 have been specially built for 

 the purpose, is erroneous. 

 They can be successfully 

 grown in almost any building, 

 cellar or shed, which 

 canbedarkened. Beds 

 can bemadeon ground 

 floor, or on shelves, in 

 tiers; also in thegreen- 

 1 1 house under the benches or in 

 spent hot beds. Thus it may 

 be seen that "Mushrooms for 

 All" can be produced at very 

 little expense, provided care 

 is taken when preparing the 

 bed, and directions, given in 

 our free circular, closely 

 followed. Write for a copy. 

 Per brick, 45 cts.; 5 bricks, 

 $2.00; 10 bricks, $3.75; 25 

 bricks, $8.75; 100 bricks, 



$30.00, prepaid. Grown from Dreer's Mushroom Spawn
