HENRY A. DREER, PHILADELPHIA— CHOICE VEGETABLE SEEDS 



Pea, Early Eight-Weeks, bears bountiful crops 



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. 10 cts. Packets only postpaid. 



Early Eight Weeks. The vines are very dwarf, growing only 



12 to 15 inches in height and loaded with the well filled pods, 



which are quite large in size for so early a variety. The pods 



should be picked from vines while they are in a young state of 



growth, at which time the peas are exceedingly lender and of 



a most delicious flavor. Pkt., 10 cts., postpaid. $ lb., 25 cts.; 



lb., 45 cts.; 2 lbs., 80 cts.; 10 lbs., $3.50. 



Dreer's Electric Extra Early. One of the earliest and most 



prolific extra early varieties, which has given good results 



wherever grown. Vines grow to a height of about 30 inches,

RADISH 



Sow Radish Seed about every two weeks, growing only about 

 what quantity you can use between crops. Summer varieties 

 should be used for planting during July and August, as they with- 

 stand hot weather better than the early sorts. For winter use 

 sow seed of the Winter Varieties in July, and they can be harvested 

 before severe frosts and stored in sand in a cool cellar.

 quick growth make this the most desirable of the white olive- 

 shaped sorts. It may be grown in the garden or used for forc- 

 ing, and in either case will produce roots of a size suitable for 

 use within 24 days. The skin is an attractive, transparent
