GROW MORE VEGETABLES THIS YEAR 



During the present period, when everything required to sustain life can only be procured at extremely high cost, it is the 

 duty of everyone having the facilities for a garden to utilize same and produce as much food as possible. During the past few 

 years, through a feeling of patriotic duty, many persons were induced to make vegetable gardens, and while in some instances, 

 partly through inexperience, poor quality of seeds planted, etc., the results were not as good as anticipated, yet the large 

 majority of tliese amateur gardeners met with so much success that there will be many more home vegetable gardens this year. 

 It does not require a large area to produce vegetables in sufficient quantities for a family of ordinary size, and besides the value of 

 the food produced, there will be great benefit realized from the pleasant diversion and exercise in working the garden. The most 

 important start is made when you procure your supply of seeds, and in this catalogue we have endeavored to offer only such va- 

 rieiies of vegetables as we are confident will produce good results in the gardens of the most inexperienced. 



CULTURAL DIRECTIONS. — Every package of seeds we send out has printed thereon the cultural directions needed for 

 proper planting. In this manner our customers have before them at the time of planting the exact information needed, a feature 

 which will be a great help to the amateur. 



EAR1,Y MOOKI^ BEET 



A fine selection of blood-red Beet, extremely smooth, fine, 

 rich color and desirable shape, and makes a rapid growth, 

 maturing very early. It is globe-shape, the color of flesh, a 

 rich blood-red and of most excellent quality, being sweet, 

 tender and free from coarseness. The tops are quite small, 

 making it a fine variety for forcing in hotbed, and it retains all 

 the good qualities either when grown under glass or outside. 

 Pkt., 10 cts.; oz., 20 cts. ; ^ lb., 60 cts.; lb., §2.00. 



DREER'8 "^VONDER" 



BUSH I.IMA BEAN 



This variety of Bush Lima Bean is very desirable on account 

 of earliness, productiveness and its fixed habit of growing in the 

 dwarf or bush form. The plants are of strong, upright growth, 

 and are completely covered with large pods, many of which 

 contain four beans, which are fully as large as the pole limas. 

 The beans are flat in shape and of excellent quality. A cus- 

 tomer writes that we can well call it " Wonder," as he planted 

 as late as May 30, and not only had all the Lima Beans he 

 wanted, but also supplied his neighbors with what they required. 

 Pkt., 10 cts., by mail. By express or freight, at purchaser's 

 expense, lb., 40 cts.; 2 lbs., 75 cts. (if wanted by Parcel Post 

 add as stated on page 9); 10 lbs., $3.50. 



KENTUCKY WONI>ER 



IVAX POI.E BEAN 



A yellow-podded "Kentucky Wonder," which bears a large 

 quantity of rich, golden-yellow pods from the time the plant is 

 about half grown until it is killed by frost in the fall. The 

 plant makes a quick, healthy growth, and, like the "Ken- 

 tucky Wonder," it is exceedingly productive, bearing large 

 pods, which are thick, meaty, stringless, very tender, and have 

 a fine flavor when cooked. This variety is bound to gain in 

 favor, both for the liome garden and for market, as it is de- 

 cidedly extra early and the pods grow uniform in size, shape 

 and color. Pkt., 10 cts., by mail. By express or freight, at 

 purchaser's expense, lb., 40 cts.; 2 lbs., 75 cts. (if wanted by 

 Parcel Post add as stated on page 9); 10 lbs., $3.50.
