DREER’S SELECT 
Hardy Perennial Plants. 
HIS class of plants, familiarly known as Old=fashioned Hardy 
Garden Flowers, has come into public favor in recent years so 
rapidly as to astonish even the most sanguine enthusiast. Their 
popularity is not at all surprising when we consider the many varied 
and pleasant changes which take place throughout the entire growing season 
in a well arranged hardy border, in which every week, yes, almost. every 
day, brings forth something fresh and new. The limited space at our com- 
mand in this catalogue permits us to offer but an abridged list of the many 
species and varieties which we grow. For complete list, also for many 
valuable cultural notes, see pages 194 to 243 of our Garden 
Book for 1911. For customers who are not acquainted with the various 
varieties, we offer the following collections, all in good strong roots, that, 
once planted, will, with very little care, keep the garden gay with flowers from 
the time frost leaves the ground until late in autumn :
