DREER'S CHOICE GARDEN 

 CHRYSANTHEMUMS 



These are universally popular for outdoor bedding, and considering their many good qualities, there is no cause for surprise to see 

 them cultivated so extensively. They produce a lavish profusion of blooms, giving color, life and beauty to the garden just at a time when 

 other plants have been destroyed by frost and are looking their worst. Frost does not materially affect the flowering, and it frequently 

 happens that an armful of flowers can be cut late in November. They are reasonably hardy if planted in a weU-drained position, with a 

 covering of leaves or loose litter during the winter, or may be carried over with perfect safety in a cold frame. 



The various collections offered below have been selected from hundreds of varieties that we have tested, and we believe represent the 

 very best in their respective class and color.
