Dreer's Vegetable Seeds 



MAKE YOUR GARDEN SERVE YOU ALL SUMMER AND ALSO 

 PRODUCE A SUFFICIENT SUPPLY FOR WINTER USE 



The home garden is of more value this summer than ever before, and it is important that every foot of soil be on duty all 

 summer long and wherever possible be made to produce all the vegetables needed for immediate use and a good supply for winter. 

 Space used for early vegetables may be used again for successive plantings of the same vegetable, or for some other kind which 

 will mature before frost. Even the spaces in the rows made vacant by the use of the original crop may be utilized by setting 

 plants of Lettuce and other heading vegetables, such as Cabbage, Cauliflower, etc. Beans may be planted up to September 1, 

 Sugar Corn up to July 20, and Peas for fall use should be planted about the middle of August. Many other vegetables may be 

 planted during the summer, information concerning which will be found under the headings of each vegetable offered in this 

 Catalogue. It is the patriotic duty of every one who is in position to produce food, to do so to the full extent of their facilities; 

 and the more you produce for home consumption, just so much more is released for the use of those who are not fortunate enough 

 to be able to have their own War Garden.

 stated for Beans, Corn and Peas.
