Dreer's Selected Garden Peas 



Peas do not do well if planted during hot weather, but 

 sowings of the early sorts, made in August, generally bring 

 good results, and it is nice to have green peas fresh from the 

 garden during the early fall months. Dreer's Eureka and 

 Dreer's Electric Extra Early Peas are especially desirable for 

 this purpose.

SUCCESSIVE PLANTINGS 



Many amateurs overlook the value of planting 

 vegetable seeds as long as there is a chance of the 

 crop maturing before frost. Do not be in this 

 class, but get all you can from your garden by 

 replanting as soon as any space is made available 

 by the maturing of crops.
