Dreer Quality 



VEGETABLE SEEDS 



for Market Gardeners 



Every successful market grower realizes the tremendous importance quality seeds play in 

 the production of profitable crops. The market gardener who makes his livelihood from the 

 sale of the produce grown cannot afford to sow seeds of doubtful value. He must have highly 

 bred strains carefully selected from vigorous parent plants that show all the typical char- 

 acteristics of the true variety. They must be full of vigor and vitality to make a sturdy-growth 

 from the start. More than three generations of market growers have realized that they can 

 depend on Dreer's to supply them with the finest in Vegetable Seeds. 



Our list of varieties includes the choicest strains of all the best standard sorts but we 

 recommend particularly making thorough trials of the many new varieties because they have 

 proved superior in many sections. Higher yields, better quality, and disease resistance are im- 

 portant factors that distinguish many of the newer varieties.
