HENRY A. DREER, PHILADELPHIA— HARDY PERENNIAL PLANTS 



CHRYSANTHEMUM ARCTICUM 



Coreopsis. 



Lanceolata girandlflora. One of the most popular hardy plants. 

 The flowers are a rich Kolden-yellow, of graceful form and 

 invaluable for cutting; the main crop comes during the latter 

 part of June, but it continues in bloom the entire summer and 

 autumn; it succeeds everywhere. 15 cts. each; $1.50 per doz.; 

 $10.00 per 100. 



Shrubby Clematis. 



This type of Clematis is deserving of the greatest popularity, and 

 should be in every collection. They form erect bushes 2 to 3 feet 

 high, and during their long period of bloom are very attractive. 



Davidlana. A most desirable variety, with fresh, bright green 

 foliage and tubular bell-shaped flowers of deep lavender-blue 

 during Auirust and September; deliciously fragrant. 15 cts. each;

 masses of brilliant fiery crimson double llowers throughout the 

 entire season. 15 cts. each; $1.50 per doz. 



Digitalis (Foxglove). 

 The Foxgloves, old-fashioned, dignifieAand stately, are whole- 

 some company in any garden. The strongtlowerstalks— frequently 

 4 to 6 feet high— rising from rich and luxuriant masses of leaves, 

 always give an appearance of strength to the hardy border, and 

 during their period of flowering dominate the whole garden.

 spotted varieties in mixture. 15 cts. each; $1.50 per doz.; $10.00

 — Speclosa. A dwarf light pink form of the above. 

 25 cts. each ; $2.50 per doz. 



Chrysanthemum Arcticum -The Arctic Daisy. 



Among fall-flowering perennials this is a perfect gem. and al- 

 though introduced from Arctic Alaska many yeare ago, has until 

 recently been lost sight of. It forms an attractive rosette-like clump 

 of pretty dark green foliage, and bears multitudes of pure white 

 flowers from 2 to 2':! inches in diameter. These begin to develop 

 during the last week in September, and continue in good condition 

 throughout October, and frequently into November. 

 25 cts. each ; $2.50 per doz. 



Hardy Pompon Chrysanthemums. 



These are now universally popular for out-door planting. 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 will frequently happen that an armfiil 

 of flowers can be cut late in November. They are quite hardy, if 

 planted in a well drained position, and. with but a slight covering 

 of leaves or litter during the winter, will take care of themselves 

 after once planted. We have a large collection but only offer 

 twelve of the very best and most distinct sorts at this time as 

 follows:

 beginning in September and attaining full perfection about the 

 middle of October a timo when flowers are scarce. -Its flowering

 of white flowers, which, when cut, last in perfection a long time.
