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 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 well-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 oflered 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.
