Dreer's Reliable Seeds 



For Market Gardeners 



To OUR Friends and Patrons : 



Our many years' experience in the seed business enables us to know just what is needed by market gardeners, and also to 

 supply same, of the best quality. Our trade extends throughout the whole country, and our list of permanent customers includes 

 many of the leading truckers, quite a number of whom are now following in the footsteps of their forefathers, and are depending 

 upon " Drear's Seeds " each year for their market crops. 



In order to keep up the reputation we have made by supplying uniformly high-grade seeds, we are constantly on the alert, 

 giving critical inspection to our growing crops, and, wherever possible, making improvements by careful selections of Stock Seeds. 



We hope for a continuance of the patronage of our regular customers, and also at least a trial order from those Market 

 Gardeners who have not as yet planted Dreer's Reliable Seeds. Very truly yours, 



HENRY A. DREER. 



Seeds postpaid. -■^'- P"ces quoted in this catalogue, we pay the postage on all orders for ovmces and quarter-pounds 



I. Where larger quantity than quarter-pound is ordered, postage must be added at the rate of eight cents 



y> per pound, unless the goods are to be sent by freight or express, in which case the purchaser always pays the transportation 

 ^ charges when obtaining goods from railroad or express agent. If Beans and Peas are wanted by mail, add postage at the 

 11 rate of fifteen cents per quart, and for Sweet Com add ten cents per quart to prices quoted herein. 



Packing'. No charge is made for boxes or packing, nor for delivery to freight depots or express offices in Philadelphia. 



So'cial low express rates. -'^^ seeds are now taken, when packed in boxes or bags, by leading express companies at 



a reduction of twenty per cent, from regular merchandise rates, it is a great advantage to 



those ordering in quantities, such as pounds and quarts, to have their orders shipped by express. Large quantities can be 

 shipped cheapest by freight, but require a longer time in transit. If the manner of shipment is left to us. we will always use 

 our best judgment in the matter and decide to the interest of the customer. 



Cash with order. Please send remittance with the order sufficient to cover the whole bill. Remittances should be made 



by Post-Office Monev Order, Drafts on Philadelphia or New York Banks, or Express Money Orders. We 



disclaim all responsibility when remittances are not made as above directed. Where it is not possible to obtain these, the letter 

 should be registered. 



Non-warrantv While we take every precaution to have our seeds pure and of the best quality, we do not give any warranty, 



— express or implied, either as to quality, productiveness, or any other condition, and will not be in any way 



responsible for the crop. Every order for articles named in this catalogue will be accepted on these conditions only.
