ES HARDY PERENNIAL PLANTS_{I{T] 
DREER’S GARDEN 
CHRYSANTHEMUMS 
These are now universally popular for outdoor bedding, and, consider- 
ing 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 theit worst. Frost does not 
materially affect the flowering, and it still frequently happens that an armful 
of flowers can be cut late in November. They are quite hardy if planted 
in a well-drained position, and, with a good covering of leaves or litter 
during the winter, will take care of themselves. 
The constantly increasing demand has induced us to try out an extensive 
collection, from which we have selected and offer the twenty-five most 
dependable varieties.
