we invite you to give DREFR'S GARDEN SEEDS a trial. Forty- 
four years’ experience in furnishing the most critical Market Gar¬ 
deners and Amateurs with their supplies of .seeds, secured by 
thorough inspection-of growing crops and satisfactory trials in our own 
farm. DREER'S GARDEN CALENDAR FOR 1882, giving
