DREER'S CHOICE GARDEN 



CHRYSANTHEMUMS 



These are 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 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 and on page 176, have 

 been selected from hundreds of varieties that we have tested, and 

 we believe represent the very best in their respective class and 

 color.
