Dreer's Reliable Seeds 



For Market Gardeners 



MARKET GARDENERS are requested by the United States Food Administration to produce more than 

 ever before and the remunerative prices which will be realized for all kinds of vegetables warrant extensive 

 plantings. Vegetable seeds of all kinds have been in great demand during the past two seasons and stocks 

 were depleted to such an extent as to make it necessary that the American Seed Growers use all of their re- 

 sources and energy to produce a sufficient supply for this year. Conditions of weather have in some instances 

 damaged seed crops and curtailed yields, this, together with other uncontrollable conditions have made the 

 supply of some items short, but we have confidence that there « ill be seeds enough of most kinds to supply 

 a larger demand than ever and urge market gardeners to plant to the full limit of their land.

 quality, productiveness, or any other condition, and will not be

 named in this catalogue will be accepted on these conditions

Special low express rates. 



As seeds are now taken, 

 when packed in boxes or 

 bags, by Express Companies at the second-class rate, it is a 

 great advantage to those ordering in quantities which are not 

 offered postpaid to have their orders shipped by express. Large 

 quantities can be shipped cheapest by freight, but require a 

 longer time in transit. If the manner of shipment is left to us, 

 we will always use our best judgment in the matter and decide 

 to the interest of the customer.
