Dreer's Vegetable Seeds 



FOR SUMMER SOWING 



HAVE YOUR GARDEN FURNISH A FULL SUPPLY 

 OF VEGETABLES THIS SUMMER AND FALL 



ALL VEGETABLE SEEDS in quantities offered in this Catalog are DELIVERED, TRANSPORTATION PAID, anywhere 

 in the United States, we reserving the privilege of shipping either by PARCEL POST, EXPRESS or FREIGHT. 



A little effort will give you fresh vegetables all Summer and Autumn and the surplus may be canned or otherwise stored. Con- 

 tinuous plantings, as explained in this catalogue under the headings of various vegetables, will enable you to do this successfully. Use 

 all available space, and not only grow sufficient for immediate use, but also a supply to be stored for winter. As the various crops mature, 

 utilize the space made vacant and grow additional supplies. In the latitude of Philadelphia, Beans may be planted up to August 1st, 

 Sugar Corn up to July 20th, and Early Peas for fall use may be planted up to the middle of August, while farther South later sowings 

 may be made. A sowing of all the different root-crops should be made as these will all keep well over winter if stored in a cool cellar 

 or outhouse.
