4 Dreer's Gardeti Caloidar. 



Garden requisites, and every article appertaining to the Farm and 

 Garden. 



Our object is to come directly in contact ^yitb the farmer and eardener 

 which IS so easily accomplished through the facilities now offered fo^ 

 sending 



SEEDS BY MAIL, 



under the revised postal law, at the low rate of one cent for everv two 

 ounces, or eight cents per pound. This enables us to send our seeds free 

 to every post office in the United States, excepting Beans Corn Peas 

 Potatoes, and other bulky articles of little value, for which eighl cents 

 per pound, or fifteen cents per quart, must be added. 



To our customers in Canada and the Britisli Provinces we hold out 

 the same inducements, excepting fifteen cents per pound, and thirty 

 cents per quart. 



As a further inducement we ofl"er the following liberal premium on 

 all Vegetable and Flower Seeds ordered in packets only. 



Some of our customers have overlooked the fact that this premium is 

 on packets only, and have ordered pounds, ounces, and quart packages, 

 expecting to receive them at the same rates. Our prices will be found 

 to compare favorably, with postage added on bulk seeds, as Peas, Beans, 

 Corn, Potatoes, etc., witli those of any reliable house in the country. 

 For $1.00, Seeds in packets can be selected to the amount of $1 10

For the convenience of persons who wish but small quantities, the 

 seeds are put up in packets of five, ten, and twenty-five cents each. 

 Those quoted from thirty cents to one dollar per oz., in not less than ten 

 cent packets ; over one dollar per oz., in packets of twenty-five cents 

 each. Beans, Corn, and Peas, in not less than ten cent packets. 



We would respectfully request our correspondents, in order to facilitate 

 our clerical work, to adopt one name in ordering for a family, and not to 

 pei-plex us with, for example, Mrs. John Smith, Mrs. Sarah Smith, or 

 Sally Smith, for in this case there are three distinct entries made, which 

 sometimes causes confusion. 



T^^e have this year omitted our page of Favorable Xotices, being 

 crowded for space Avhich can be used for a more valuable purpose, be- 

 lieving that our customers will permit us to overlook their flattering 

 testimonials this far, for the purpose of enlarging more fully on other 

 matters. We could spread before our readers pages of these letters 

 should we feel that our further increase of business depended on such 

 advertisements. "We prize tlie many high encomiums pair! to our seeds 

 and plants; they ai'e oases in our business career, and tend to cheer us 

 with the assurance " that labor has its own reward."
