DREER'S CHOICE GARDEN 

 CHRYS ANTHEM UMS 



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 la\'ish 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 thaf 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 rep- 

 resent the very best in their respective class and color.
