and that quality only discernible in results — he takes as lively an in- 

 terest in the success of his customer as in his own business. Our object is 

 to come in direct contact with the farmer, market gardener and 

 amateur who appreciate the difference between good and worthless 

 seeds, and we offer to send 



Seeds by Mail 



To any Post-office in the United States and the Provinces, 



POSTAGE FREE, 



When ordered by the pound, ounce or packet, except where noted. 

 Peas, Beans and Corn, when ordered by mail, will require thirty 

 cents additional per quart, remitted to prepay postage. 



To accessible Express points within 1,000 miles of Philadelphia we 

 will deliver all seeds free of expense when the order exceeds 

 $10.00. This applies to seeds at the Catalogue rates, and not to plants 

 and miscellaneous articles, such as rustic work, implements, sticks, etc. 

 These rates give our most distant customers the same advantages as 

 those who buy over the counter, and extends to every one the oppor- 

 tunity of sending to head-quarters for reliable articles. 



"We desire to call your attention to the following facts, knowing the 

 frequent disappointments arising from obtaining seeds from doubtful 

 sources, and the surprises and vexations occasioned by sowing one va- 

 riety and obtaining another, frequently a worthless sort, not consider- 

 ing the great loss sustained, which is irreparable. We beg to offer 

 you our experience, acquired after many years, with stock suited to 

 your wants. 



We use machinery in cleaning the seeds that removes all chaff, 

 light seeds and dirt ; consequently, the seed sent out by us is absolutely 

 perfect and of the greatest advantage to the sower. 



Our large Market Gardeners' trade in this vicinity will attest to the 

 stock furnished, and we will gladly recommend sorts for particular 

 seasons — the price list for Farmers and Market Gardeners please find 

 on page 45 — and when quantities are required, will furnish special 

 prices as low as good stock can be furnished. Above all things, 

 avoid cheap seeds, which will prove dear in the end. 



Wishing you all a happy and prosperous New Year, we remain, 



Philada., January 1st, 1877. Yours truly, 



wm. fdrefr. HENRY A- DREER. 



Wm. H. Smith.
