HENRY A. DREER, PHILADELPHIA— CHOICE VEGETABLE SEEDS 



Qradus, or Prosperity. This splendid variety of wrinkled 

 Pea combines the finest quality with extreme earliness, and 

 is also very productive. Grows vigorous and healthy; vines 

 about three feet in height, bearing pods fully as large as 

 Telephone, and which are well filled with beautiful light 

 green Peas, which color they retain after being cooked. The 

 quality and flavor are delicious, and a valuable feature with 

 the " Gradus" is, that the Peas remain tender and sweet for 

 along time after having been picked from the vines. Pkt., 

 10 cts., postpaid. By express or freight, at purchaser's ex- 

 pense, lb., 50 cts.; 2 lbs., 90 cts. (if by Parcel Post, add as 

 stated at top of page); 10 lbs., $4.00. 



Dreer's Selected Garden Peas 



Peas do not do well if planted during hot weather, but sowings 

 of the early sorts, made in August, generally bring good results, 

 and it is nice to have green peas fresh from the garden during the 

 early fall months. Dreer's Eureka and Dreer's Electric Extra 

 Early Peas are especially desirable for this purpose.

SUCCESSIVE PLANTINGS 



Many amateurs overlook the value of planting 

 vegetable seeds as long as there is a chance of the 

 crop maturing before frost. Do not be in this 

 class, but get all you can from your garden by 

 replanting as soon as any space is made available 

 by the maturing of crops.
