Dreer's Vegetable Seeds 



MAKE YOUR GARDEN SERVE YOU ALL SUMMER AND ALSO 

 PRODUCE A SUFFICIENT SUPPLY FOR WINTER USE 



In our Mid-summer Catalogue last year we urged customers to grow more vegetables than ever before, and now it is even 

 more urgent for them to do so, as there will not be enough produced by commercial growers to come anywhere near feeding the 

 people of this country. If you have any space available, it is your duty to cultivate it and produce such vegetables as may either 

 be canned or stored away for use during the winter months. Use the spaces made vacant by the maturing crops, by growing 

 Lettuce and other heading vegetaljles, such as Cabbage and Cauliflower. Beans may be planted up to September 1st, Sugar 

 Corn up to July 20th, and Peas for fall use should be planted about the middle of August. Many other vegetal)les may be plant- 

 ed during the summer, information concerning which will be found under the headings of each vegetable offered in this Catalogue. 

 Do not let interest in your garden diminish, keep it working for you all Summer long and produce all the vegetables needed by 

 your family. By doing this, you will be independent of dealers who will have to charge high prices for vegetables of all kinds. 



We pay postage on vegetable seeds by the packet, ounce, quarter pound and pound. Add postage as 

 stated for Beans, Corn and Peas.
