Dreer*s Vegetable Seeds 



MAKE YOUR GARDEN THE MEANS OF FURNISHING A 

 FULL SUPPLY OF VEGETABLES THIS SUMMER AND FALL 



A little effort will give you fresh vegetables all Summer and Autumn and the surplus may be canned or otherwise stored. Con- 

 tinuous plantings, as explained in this catalogue under the headings of various vegetables, will enable you to do this successfully. Use 

 all available space, and not only grow sufficient for immediate use, but also a supply to be stored for winter. As the various crops mature, 

 utilize the space made vacant and grow additional supplies. In the latitude of Philadelphia, Beans may be planted up to August 1st, 

 Sugar Corn up to July 20th, and Early Peas for faU use may be planted up to the middle of August, v-hile farther South later sowings 

 may b? made. A sowing of all the different root-crops should be made as these will all keep well over winter if stored in a cool cellar 

 or outhouse. 



If Beans, Com and Peas are wanted by Parcel Post add 5 cts. per lb. to points east of the Mississippi River and 

 10 cts. per lb. to points west of the Mississippi River. We pay postage on all other vegetable seeds by the packet, 

 ounce, quarter pound and pound.
