DREER'S SEEDS ARE CAREFULLY TESTED 



In order to know the quality of seeds we supply to critical market gardeners we conduct extensive Trial Grounds, where all of 

 the stocks we handle are tested out to maturity and subjected to critical examination during ilicir entire season of growth. Our 

 standards are high and we must be assured that the seeds furnished are of the best grade. We also test many varieties of recent 

 introduction, besides some not yet on the market and in this manner are enabled to keep our list of varieties up-to-date and supply 

 such as we know from actual test are worthy of a place in our catalogue. 



In the illustration abive showing a portion ol out [Vial Grounds, there is also shown the "Skinner System" of ' iverhead Irri- 

 gation with which it is equipped, tluis enabling us to supply the plants with a shower of water whenever required. We strongly 

 recommend to market gardeners the installation of some improved systi 01 of irrigation by which they would be independent of rain 

 and have a shower of water at their command at all times, thus assuring good crops even during a season of drought and we will 

 be pleased to give any information desired on the subject.

Special low express rates. 



As seeds are now taken, 

 when packed in boxes or 

 liags, by leading express companies at a reduction of twenty 

 per cent, from regular merchandise rates, it is a great advan- 

 tage to those ordering in quantities, such as pounds and quarts, 

 to have their orders shipped by express. Large quantities can 

 be shipped cheapest by freight, but require a longer time in 

 transit. If the manner of shipment is left to us, we will always 

 use our best judgment in the matter and decide to the interest of 

 the customer.

 delivery to freight depots or express offices in Phila-
