DREER'S RELIABLE FARM SEEDS. 



FARM SEEDS. 



We give special attention to the quality of all our farm seeds, and send out only recleaned stock. It is our aim to 

 handle absolutely pure seeds. 



SUGAR BEETS AND HANGELS. 



Root crops are essential to the health of stall-fed animals. Beets are especially rich in saccharine matter, and 

 largely increase the flow of milk in the dairy. Carrots are highly esteemed as food for horses- Turnips have a high 

 place in agricultural economy ; especially the ruta baga varieties. Sheep and swine as well as the larger animals, demand 

 succulent food in the colder months.
