A Group of Garden Chrysanthemums 



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 destroj'ed 

 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 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.
