HENRY A. DREER, PHILADELPHIA— CHOICE VEGETABLE SEEDS 



Dreer's Selected 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. Dreer's 

 Electric Extra Early is especially desirable for this pur- 

 pose.

 vigorous and healthy; vines about 3 feet in height, bearing 

 pods as large as Telephone, well filled with beautiful light

 quality and flavor are delicious, and a valuable feature with 

 the "Gradus" is that the Peas remain tender and sweet, for 

 a long time after having been picked from the vines. Pkt., 

 10 cts., postpaid. By express or freight, at pur- 

 chaser's expense, lb., 50 cts.; 2 lbs., 90 cts. (if

SUCCESSIVE PLANTINGS 



Many amateurs overlook the value of planting 

 vegetable seeds as long as there is a chance of the 

 crop maturing before frost. Do not be in this 

 class, but get all you can from your garden by 

 replanting as soon as any space is made available 

 by the maturing of crops.
