DREER^S GARDEN BOOK 



for 1923 



EIGHTY-FIFTH ANNUAL EDITION 



IT HAS always been and will continue to be our aim to supply only the best grade of Seeds, 

 Plants and Bulbs obtainable and by a strict adherence to the broad principle of giving all pur- 

 chasers the full worth of their money has our business grown from a small beginning eighty- 

 five years ago to one of the largest and most complete Seed, Plant and Bulb Establish- 

 ments in the World. 



We are organized and prepared to give the same prompt service to which our patrons are 

 accustomed, but call special attention to the conditions which are peculiar to the Seed, Plant and 

 Bulb business, in that the great bulk of the season's business is crowded into a comparatively few 

 weeks' time in the spring of the year. Under these conditions it will greatly aid in preventing 

 undue congestion if our customers will send in and take delivery of their orders as early in the 

 season as possible. 



Many of our customers have been on our mailing list for more than half a century and our 

 business shows an increase every year^ and we will spare no effort to handle every order entrusted 

 to us, no matter how small or how large, in such a manner that will merit the continued confidence 

 of the purchaser. 



We call your special attention to the notes regarding the ordering and forwarding of Plants 

 on page 119.
