DREER'S CHOICE GARDEN 

 CHRYSANTHEMUMS 



These are now 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 aflfect the flowering, and it frequently 

 happens that an armful of flowers can be cut late in Novem- 

 ber. 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. V 



The various collections offered below have been selected from 

 hundreds of varieties that we have tested, and we believe rep- 

 resent the very best in their respective class and color.
