GARDEN for 

 BOOK I910 



Our 1910 edition will be ready early in January. Better than ever. Revised and brought 

 right up-to-date. It's a book that every gardener, amateur or professional, should have. 



256 pages filled with practical, sensible, helpful gardening information besides cultural 

 notes on 



How to grow flowers from seed, both Annual and Perennial. 



How to grow Asters, Pansies, Sweet Peas, Dahlias, Ferns, Gladiolus, Palms, Roses, 

 Water Lilies, etc., etc. 



Hints for the amateur who grows plants in the home, telling about the kind of soil to use; 



about drainage; about watering; about repotting; about insect troubles and so on. 

 How to make and care for a border of old-fashioned, hardy plants. How and when to 



plant and prune shrubs. And so on through the 256 pages. More than 500 



cultural notes in all. 



Dreer's Garden Book for 1910 is admittedly the best of its kind. Eight beautiful color and 

 duotone plates and over a thousand other illustrations. 



It describes and gives prices of over 1200 varieties of flower seeds — over 2000 kinds of 

 plants and more than 600 varieties of vegetables. To say nothing of many kinds of shrubs, 

 climbers, small fruits, water lilies and Garden Requisites of every description. 



Mailed to our customers without application. If you are not on our lists we will 

 mail a copy if you mention this magazine.

There's just enough of it to properly describe the Strawberry 

 plants, the Apple, Cherry, Peach, Pear and Plum trees, the 

 Grapes, the Quinces, the Asparagus, the Currants and other 

 fruits which we grow by the million in our 2,000-add acres of 

 nurseries. If a fruit is worth trying, you will find it in this 

 book ; otherwise not — we must know from actual tests in our 

 orchards here and elsewhere that it is all right before we offer it. 

 Pictures all from photographs — four full pages in natural colors. 



SHADE TREES, HEDGE PLANTS, 

 FLOWERING SHRUBS AND VINES 



are not neglected. We grow the best kinds of all these in large 

 quantities — and everything of the very highest quality. The 

 continued patronage of buyers who know good stuff, and a 

 bigger volume of new orders last year than ever before, shows us 

 that the people like a square-deal policy in the nursery business. 

 If you think of buying fruit trees or shade trees, or plants 

 of any kind, you need this book. Last year's customers will 

 receive it anyway ; others if they ask for it. May we send 

 you a free copy? Write today — edition is limited!
