Dreer's Reliable FloM^er Seeds 



FOR SUMMER SOWING 



On the following pages we give a list of Seeds of the Best Hardy Perennials, which are now so deservedly popular. 

 With little trouble you can have an abundant supply of Columbines, Canterbury Bells, Foxgloves, Gaillardias, Hollyhocks, 

 Larkspurs, Forget-me-nots, Daisies, Sweet Williams, etc., etc., for flowering 

 in 1922. The list also includes a choice selection of other Flower Seeds for 

 summer sowing, such as Cinerarias, Cyclamens, Pansies, Primulas, etc. 



Hardy perennials are easily grown from seed. In many oases they are a 

 little slower than annuals, but with intelligent care they are successfully raised, 

 and from seed is an excellent way to get up a big stock of perennials. 



We will be pleased to send our customers on request a leaflet on How tO 

 Grow Perennials from Seed, written expressly for us by Wm. Falconer, 

 of Pittsburgh.
