Dreer's Wholesale Price List 



JANUARY— 1916— JUNE 



WE TAKE PLEASURE in presenting to the Trade, this, our Wholesale Price List 

 for the Spring of 1916, and are pleased to say that notwithstanding the con- 

 ___ tinuance of the unfortunate and deplorable conditions throughout a large part 

 "~ — — of Europe from which we get many of our supplies of Seeds, Plants and Bulbs, 

 we have at this writing, December 15th, received a fair portion of our contracts, and 

 assurances that the balance will come forwar.d with the least possible delay, so that 

 we feel reasonably sure of being able to take care of the requirements of our cus- 

 tomers almost as usual. Some few items which may be delayed are expected to reach 

 us in ample time for planting, and can be sent on their arrival. 



We would strongly advise our customers to send in their orders for Seeds, Plants 

 and Bulbs as early as possible, not only to avoid the Spring rush, but to insure getting 

 full requirements of anything that may be short. 



We are also pleased to call attention to the fact that in spite of the difficulty of 

 getting high grade imported stocks of all kinds, and greatly increased transportation 

 charges, the prices in most cases remain unchanged. Conditions, however, make it 

 necessary to call the special attention of our customers to the rule of the trade that 

 all orders for growing crops and stock not actually in hand are accepted subject to 

 crop failures, shortages, or other causes beyond control, and the right to advance 

 prices without notice.

 Agricultural seeds, you may be sure to get only the choicest. 



PLiANT DEPARTMENT — Our stocks of the leading decorative and flowering plants are in splendid condition, and cus- 

 tomers may rely on getting full value and prompt and careful service.

PARCELi POST. — Many of our customers seem to have the idea that Seeds, Plants and Bulbs can be sent by Parcel Post 

 at small cost, such is not the case, and it is invariably cheaper, safer and quicker to send packages by Express. We will

deliver any goods free at Wholesale Prices.
