Dreer's Reliable Hardy Perennial 



FLOWER SEEDS 



Hardy Perennials are becoming more popular each season; there 

 is a big demand for the plants and many sorts are splendid for 

 cutting. For best results, seeds should be sown in spring as soon 

 as the ground is in good condition. We o£fer below a short list of 

 the best kinds that can readily be grown from seed; for complete 

 list see our Wholesale Price List. Copies free to Florists on request.

Mention The Review when you write. 



usual, well known Hill type, but somewhat re- 

 fliiced In number of pages, presumably on account 

 of a shortage in certain lines of stock, caused 

 l>y the war-time restrictions in fuel. Carnations 

 are not offered in this edition of the catalogue. 

 The new roses are conspicuously featured, but 

 thj older, standard varieties are not listed, 

 tliough promised for the near future. The 

 greater part of the book is devoted to chrysan- 

 themums, which appear in full force.

 fourin annual edition of "The Spring Garden 

 Rook," an illustrated catalogue of seeds, veg- 

 etable plants and roots, flowering and foliage 

 plants, roses, nursery stock, tools and fertilizers;

 foliage and flowering plants, perennials, nursery 

 stock, farm and garden requisites; a compre- 

 hensive book of 108 pages, well printed on a 

 thin but good quality of paper and bound in an 

 attractive cover, embellished with pictures of 

 outdoor scenes. 



Fred J. Mead, Newark. N. J. — "The Ready-Set 

 Concrete Greenhouse Bench," a well arranged, 

 illustrated folder, describing the process of mold- 

 ing the sectional parts of a patented concrete 

 bench. These parts, says the folder, may be 

 made "at odd times throughout the year and 

 stacked In some out-of-the-way place like so 

 much lumber, ready for use when needed." 



Colorado Seed Co., Denver, Colo. — "Home Gar- 

 den Seeds; Cultural Suggestions and Price List,"

 sented in the book, and an unusually extensive 

 line of tools and supplies is offered. 



State Knrsery & Seed Co., Helena, Mont. — "An- 

 nual Catalogue; Twenty-ninth Year," an illus- 

 trated book of 120 large pages, besides a red- 

 type 4-page insert which quotes the prices of 

 vegetable and field seeds at the time of sending 

 the catalogue to press. As would be Inferred 

 from the size of the book and the nature of 

 the company's business, the needs of all branches 

 of the trade receive attention. The cover of 

 the catalogue is both handsome and interesting, 

 especially the colored bird'i-eye view of the 

 greenhouses and nurseries.
