Dreer's Improved Hanson Lettuce 



Dreer's Improved Hanson Lettuce 



462 Although introduced by us over fifty years ago, this 

 Lettuce is still the prize winner among the crisp heading 

 varieties, and the fact that it has been popular for half a 

 century, and that it is still offered by the leading seedsmen 

 of the country is proof of its sterling qualities. It reaches 

 a large size, with light green, curled leaves with fringed 

 edges enclosing a white heart of remarkable solidity. Crisp 

 and brittle all over, and free of the flat watery taste which 

 some crispheads unfortunately have. We recommend it 

 highly for growing during the hot summer months. Pkt., 

 10 cts.; | oz., 20 cts.; oz., 30 cts.; { lb., 90 cts. 



Dreer's "All Heart" Lettuce 



440 The name of this variety 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 sec- 

 tions, we have yet to hear of an instance where Dreer's 

 All-heart Lettuce did not come through with flying colors. 

 While suitable for summer use in cool sections, it is pre- 

 eminently an early spring variety and gives best results in 

 soils holding an abundance of humus or other quickly 

 available plant food. The heads are of delicate yellowish- 

 green color, making it a most attractive market variety, 

 and the flavor is excellent. Pkt., 10 cts.; § oz., 25 cts.; 

 oz., 35 cts.; J lb., $1.00. 



Tip Top Muskmelon 



524 A splendid variety, coming in just ahead of Rocky Ford; 

 fruits large and deep, skin emerald green in color, turning 

 yellow when ripe, globular or slightly flattened, irregularly 

 and indistinctly ribbed and lightly netted; flesh very 

 thick, sweet and of a deep, rich salmon color, having an 

 exceedingly small seed cavity. One of the best melons for 

 the home garden and local market. Pkt., 10 cts.; oz., 25 

 cts.; \ lb., 60 cts.; lb., $1.75. 



Muskmelon 

 Hearts of Gold, or Imp'd Hoodoo 



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

 them remarkably disease-resistant and subsequently pro- 

 lific of delightfully flavored fruits. The Melons are of 

 medium size, round and distinctly ribbed, and present a 

 fine, attractive appearance. 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., $1.75. 



Prizetaker Onion 



57 8 The large size and handsome appearance of this Onion 

 makes it equally desirable for the home garden or for mar- 

 ket. The true Prizetaker 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. Pkt., 

 10 cts.; h oz., 20 cts.; oz., 30 cts.; i lb.. 85 cts.; lb., $3.00. 



Tip Top Muskmelon 



Dreer's Dwarf Perfection Parsley 



600 Easily the most perfect strain of this fine dwarf Parsley. 

 The habit is regular and compact, and the exquisitely fine 

 and prettily curled leaves are set very closely on the plant. 

 The color is a wonderful bright pea-green, and flavor sur- 

 passes 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.; { lb., 70 cts.; lb., $2.25. 



Ameer Pea 



619 A most useful variety suited to the home garden and which 

 will succeed under almost all conditions. Can be planted 

 early in the spring and will produce hardy plants bearing a 

 heavy crop of large, broad, deep green pods containing 7 or 

 8 peas of very sweet quality. The vines grow about 3 \ feet 

 high and to secure the maximum yield should be supported 

 by brush, trellis or strings. Pkt., 10 cts.; \ lb., 25 cts.; lb., 

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



Laxton's Progress Pea 



650 The most recent introduction of real merit into the list of 

 large pod dwarf peas, and an ideal sort for the small home 

 garden where space is at a premium. "Progress" grows 

 but 18 inches high, but the vines are exceedingly vigorous 

 and produce the largest pods of any extra early sort. Pods 

 average 4 \ inches long, well filled with 8, 9 or 10 deep green, 

 large peas, of delightful flavor. Pkt., 10 cts.; $ lb., 25 cts.; 

 lb., 45 cts.; 2 lbs., 80 cts.; 5 lbs., $1.85, prepaid.
