Dreer's Old-Fashioncd Hardy Garden Plants 



This class of plants is one of our leading specialties. They have come into popular favor so rapidly as to astonish the most sanguine enthusiast of these gems 

 of the garden. Their popularity is not at all surprising when we consider the many, varied and pleasant changes which take place throughout the entire grow- 

 ing season in a well arranged hardy border. Beginning in April, early-flowering varieties open up 

 their flowers, often before snow has entirely disappeared, and continuing, with constantly changing 

 variety throughout the Summer until late in Fall, when severe freezing only will stop such persistent 

 late bloomers as the Japanese Windflowers, Pompone Chrysanthemums, etc., etc. We are con- 

 tinually adding new, rare and desirable sorts to our list, which is admitted to be the most 

 complete and up-to-date collection in the country. 



For those who are not acquainted with the different varieties, we offer collections 

 which when once planted will, with very little care, keep the garden gay with flowers 

 from the time the frost leaves the ground until late in Autumn. These collections are 

 supplied as under: 



100 Distinct species and varieties, our selection, $9.00 

 50 " " " " " " 5.00
