Dreer's Reliable FloAver 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 1925. 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 cases 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. 



For the convenience of our customers, and to facilitate the filling of orders, it 

 is only necessary in ordering to give the number of packets wanted and the 

 cor/esponding number in the Catalogue.
