Dreer’s 
GARDEN BOOK! 
for 1907 
A Complete Guide to Growing Flowers and Vegetables 
will be mailed in January to all 
customers for three years past. 
It will contain four beautiful colored plates of flowers and vegetables, 
| and 224 profusely illustrated pages besides covers in colors showing several 
varieties of flowers which we are specializing. 
The text matter will be made up into departments and there will be a 
complete index, making it easy to find whatever is wanted. 
Particularly interesting will be the department devoted to Hardy Peren- 
nials, those old fashioned flowers we all love so well. Anticipating the grow- 
ing demand for this class of plants, we now offer the largest collection and 
finest varieties. 
The Rose department will contain the cream of newest kinds of this beau- 
tiful and fragrant flower. 
Dreer’s Garden Book has always been the best and most complete 
catalogue, but the 1907 edition will be even an improvement on previous issues. 
Whatever is worth growing, Flowers and Vegetables, you will find in Dreer’s 
Garden Book. 
REMEMBER if you have been a customer within three years, the 
book will be mailed to you when ready without your asking for it. But if 
you are not a customer and want to post yourself on gardening topics write for 
a copy and mention this magazine.

HOW TO GET STARTED 
ETTING started is the whole difficulty after all—most everybody 
Cc: actually wants a greenhouse or conservatory, but just how to 
go about it, to find out what is best adapted to both the 
needs and the pocketbook, is the trouble. You may want to avoid 
going into it seriously at this very time, but would like to look forward 
to having one in the spring—you desire some well digested, freely 
illustrated little booklet on the question, telling how to go about it— 
you want it to come from a firm who will not try to talk you into build- 
ing a larger house than you can care for, and above all you must have 
pleasant dealing. We can help you. Send 5 cents in stamps for 
‘How to Get Started with a Greenhouse ”——it will give you the very 
information needful, and when ready to go further, write
