Dreer's Selected Ga rden Peas-Ger. Erbsen . 



Market gardeners should secure their Peas for planting this spring at once, as the supply is very limited. This condition is 

 due to the drought in the Pea growing districts last summer, which began about the middle of June and continued for a long time, 

 damaging the crops to such a large extent that in many instances the yields did not equal the quantity of seed originally planted. 



If Peas are wanted sent by mail, add 1 S cents per quart for postage.

 very prolific, and of superior flavor ; height I ^ ft. Qt. , 30
