HARDY PERENNIAL PLANTS 



Dreer's Hardy Garden Chrysanthemums 



The World's Best Collection 



Gorgeous autumn-blooming plants producing a lavish profusion of colorful flowers just at a time when 

 other plants are beginning to fail. They are reasonably hardy if planted in a well-drained soil and cov- 

 ered with leaves or loose litter during the winter. We offer strong young plants. 



For a quarter of a century we have been selecting and pro- 

 ducing new varieties of Chrysanthemums, constantly endeavoring 

 to increase their desirability and usefulness for garden display. 



As newer, better, and hardier varieties appear we are obliged 

 to discard the older ones. You may rest assured that the new 

 ones selected in the same colors have qualities of superiority 

 justifying their trial and adoption by you.
