The subscriber begs leave to offer a strain of 
VEGETABLE AND FLOWER SEEDS, 
which in point of purity, vitality, and superior quali- 
ty, shall not be equalled by any. Special efforts are made 
to furnish Market Gardeners and Amateurs who ap¬ 
preciate the value of good seeds and whose trade remains 
steadfast. A trial is invited, and as a guide will mail 
Dreer’s Garden Calendar, containing complete lists 
of Vegetable and Flower Seeds and Plants, to the 
address of any one interested in Horticulture.
