DREER'S RELIABLE 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 send out 

 pure stock, true to name. For green manures we recommend sowing thickly Sugar Cane, Tares, Field Peas, Rye, and Oats, and 

 plowing under when 6 to 8 inches high. 



...Sugar Beets and fiangels... 



For stock feeding these are indispensable. No one who keeps horses, sheep or cattle should be without these roots for winter 

 and fall feeding. They are rich in saccharine matter, increase largely the flow of milk, and are excellent for feeding to fattening 

 stock.
