Dreer's Selected List 

 of Newer and Better Vegetables 



In each class of vegetables we find some that are superior to others in one or another characteristic. 

 It may be extra earliness, particularly attractive appearance, superior flavor, or an ideal combination of 

 many desirable factors. Such vegetables logically become leaders and among such leaders the finest 

 strains are most eagerly sought by the growers. 



On this and the following pages we offer what we know to be prize strains of distinctly worth-while 

 leaders among the most useful vegetables. They are not necessarily novelties but rather specialties which 

 have won their way to the top through meritorious performances in gardens of Dreer customers everywhere.
