DREER'S SELECT 



FRENCH HYDRANGEAS 



Kealizing 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 Hydranseaa 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 theselfor Easter forcing, you 

 should place your order at once for immediate or 

 later delivery.
