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 outstanding feature of the 

 above sort is, as its name implies, its remarkable 

 long standing qualities. The plant forms compact 

 thick tufts, with numerous leaves of a rich dark 

 green, broad and pointed, and much crumpled. A 

 sowing of this variety every 3 or 4 weeks will insure 

 a constant supply of this healthful vegetable. Pkt., 

 10 cts.; oz., 15 cts.; J lb., 30 cts.; lb., 85 cts. 



Cocozelle Bush Squash 



862 It has only been recently that scientists have dis- 

 covered the presence of remarkable quantities of 

 vitamines in summer squash, and doctors now pre- 

 scribe an abundance of squash for children back- 

 ward in physical development. One of the richest 

 vitamine-bearers among summer squash is Coco- 

 zelle Bush, a handsome oblong dark green Italian 

 variety liberally speckled with contrasting marks. 

 Being of compact bush growth, a dozen plants will 

 provide from 2 to 3 dozen handsome fruits averag- 

 ing 2 to 3 pounds each. This variety is unsurpassed 

 in richness of the cooked product, which is of dis- 

 tinct aromatic flavor and aroma. Pkt., 10 cts.; 

 oz., 20 cts.; J lb., 60 cts.; lb., $2.00. 



Dreer's Improved Long Standing Spinach 



Pritchard (Scarlet Topper) Tomato 



940 Since the introduction of the Break O'Day Tomato, also offered 

 in—— H ' Mill l in this catalogue, the Pritchard has been developed to 

 I a stage where we feel safe to offer it to our many home 

 I gardening friends. This, like Break O'Day, must be 

 credited to the valuable breeding work performed by 

 j the late Dr. F. J. Pritchard of the U. S. Dept. of Agri- 

 i culture. It is a fine early with large smooth globular 

 fruits, ripening to a clear scarlet right up to the stem. 

 Flesh is a rich deep red with few seeds and no core. 

 Vine grows erect and is well foliaged. Like all Tomato 

 varieties this sort amply repays liberal fertilizing, and 

 in our opinion Pritchard is worth a place in any garden.
