December, 1917 
In the spring 
thousands of new 
gardens will be 
started to add to 
the food supply, and thousands whose 
1917 gardens were not an entire suc¬ 
cess will try again. 
Dreer’s Garden Book is more than 
a mere catalogue. It is a companion 
of dependable information for the 
gardener; and if the expert cultural 
directions are followed will save money 
and disappointment. Tells when to 
plant, what to plant and how to plant. 
It contains 256 pages, four full-page 
Color plates and four duotone plates. 
Lists all the dependable, tested stand¬ 
ard varieties of vegetables and flowers 
as well as the promising novelties. 
Whatever is worth growing you will 
find in Dreer’s Garden Book for 1918, 
with descriptions and cultural notes. 
Mailed free if you mention this
