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 Eureka and 

 Nott's Excelsior are especially desirable for this purpose.
