Dreer's Vegetable Seeds 



YOUR GARDEN SHOULD BE THE MEANS OF FURNISHING A 

 FULL SUPPLY OF VEGETABLES THROUGHOUT THE SUMMER 



A little effort will give you fresh vegetables all summer long and the surplus may be canned. Continuous plantings, as ex- 

 plained in this catalogue under the headings of various vegetables, will enable you to do this successfully. tJse all available 

 space, and not only grow sufficient for immediate use, but also a supply to be stored for winter. As the various crops mature, 

 utilize the space made vacant and grow Lettuce, Cabbage and Cauliflower. Beans may be planted up to August 1st, Sugar Corn 

 up to July 20th, and Dreer's Electric Peas for fall use should be planted about the middle of August. 



We pay postage on vegetable seeds by the packet, ounce, quarter pound and pound. Add postage as 

 stated for Beans, Corn and Peas.
