Dreer's Vegetable Seeds 



MAKE YOUR GARDEN THE MEANS OF FURNISHING A 

 FULL SUPPLY OF VEGETABLES THIS SUMMER AND FALL 



A little effort will give you fresh vegetables all Summer and Autumn and the surplus may be canned. Continuous plantings, as 

 explained in this catalogue under the headings of various vegetables, will enable you to do this successfully. Use all available space, 

 and not only grow sufficient for immediate use, but also a supply to be stored for winter. As the various crops mature, utilize the space 

 made vacant and grow Lettuce, Cabbage and Cauliflower. In the latitude of Philadelphia, Beans may be planted up to August 1st, 

 Sugar Corn up to July 20th, and Early Peas for fall use should be planted about the middle of August, while farther South later sowings 

 may be made. 



If Beans, Corn and Peas are wanted by Parcel Post add 5 cts. per lb. to points east of tbe Mississippi River and 

 10 cts. per lb. to points west of the Mississippi River. We pay postage on all other vegetable seeds by the packet, 

 ounce, quarter pound and pound.
