DREER'S SELECT 



FRENCH HYDRANGEAS 



Realizing that the practical elimination of 



Azaleas and other imported plants for Easter 



forcing will create an extraordinary demand 



for Hydrangeas, we have made every possible 



effort to prepare a sufficient supply of these 



useful plants. 



We have the largest and most up-to-date stock 

 of French Hydrangeas in this country. Our plants 

 this year promise to be the best we have ever 

 offered. The demand exceeds that of all previous 

 years. Orders will be reserved in strict rotation. 

 If you want some of these for Easter forcing, you 

 should place your order at once for either October 

 or later delivery.
