Learn to Look Upon Dreer's as 

 Headquarters for Hardy Plants 



tm ^ We are the largest growers of hardy perennials in this country. Moreover, ours is admitted to be the 



mcst complete collection and we keep it so by constantly adding new kinds as they prove their worth in 

 our trial-grounds. 



Our leadership in hardy plants is almost as old as the House of Dreer itself. The founder of this 



establishment foresaw that the merits of this kind of plants must ultimately gain for them a high degree 



of popular interest. Upon the foundation laid by him over eighty years ago, we built a business in hardy plants 



that keeps more than seventy-five acres of one of our nurseries constantly busy to produce the plants required to 



fill the demand. 



Irises, Peonies, Phloxes and Poppies, Besides Several Hun- 

 dreds of Equally Hardy "Should-Be" Favorites to Select From 



We have never permitted our fancies or personal inclinations to handicap the developing of our collection as a 

 whole. It has rather been our aim to constantly broaden its scope so that the wishes of our thousands of 

 customers in all parts of the country might be cared for. Whatever kinds or classes are added to keep the 

 collection up-to-date, we grow in large enough quantities from the start to enable our 

 selling them at prices within everybody's reach. 



Note these Special Values, in Plants 

 that Become Permanent Assets 



That's the one thing to keep in mind when buying hardy plants. You 

 invest money rather than spend it. A few years' growth in your own 

 garden will more than double the value of any of the collections here offered: —
