Dreer's Garden Book 



for 1921 



EIQHTY=THIRD ANNUAL EDITION 



FROM a small beginning' eighty-three years ago, this business has developed into one of the 

 largest and most complete Seed, Plant and Bulb Establishments in the World. This 

 has been accomplished by supplying the best grade of goods obtainable and by a strict 

 adherence to the broad principle of giving all purchasers the full worth of their money. 



As is well known, many varieties of seeds are imported from Eur©pe; and while the war is 

 over, labor and transportation conditions have not as yet become normal, and there is almost sure 

 to be delays in the arrival of a few items. 



We are also more or less hampered by lack of efficient help here. Under these conditions, 

 it will greatly aid, if our customers will send in and take delivery of their orders as early in the 

 season as possible. 



We call the special attention of our customers to the notes regarding the ordering and for- 

 warding of Plants on page 117. 



We take this opportunity of thanking our many customers for their generous patronage in the 

 past, and to assure them that we will continue to 

 do all in our power to merit a continuance of 

 their confidence, and that we aim to give every 

 order, no matter how small or how leurge, prompt 

 and careful attention.
