DREER'S GARDEN CHRYSANTHEMUMS 



These are now universally popular for outdoor bedding, and, considering their 

 many good qualities, there is no cause for surprise to see them cultivated so ex- 

 tensively. They produce a lavish profusion of blooms, giving color, life and 

 beauty to the garden just at a time when other plants have,been desti'oyed by frost 

 and are looking their worst. Frost does not materially affect the flowering, and 

 it still frequently happens that an armful of flowers can be cut late in November. 

 They are quite hardy if planted in a well-drained position, and, with a good cov- 

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

 Boston. Aster-flowered, golden-bronze. 

 Firelight. T.arge, bright oxblood-red.

HARDY CHRYSANTHEMUMS 



(Shasta Daisy, Etc.) 

 Arcticum (7%e Arctic Daisy). Among fall flowering perennials, this is a per- 

 fect gem. It forms an attractive rosette-like clump of pretty dark-green foliage, 

 and in September multitudes of flower stems appear, terminated by pure white 

 flowers from 2 to 2j inches in diameter. These begin to develop during the 

 last week in September, and continue in good condition throughout October 

 and frequently into November; 15 inches. 20 cts. each; $2.00 

 per doz. 

 Shasta Daisy ''Alaslca." A decided improvement on the 

 original; with blooms 4| to 5 inches across, of pure glistening 

 white. Very free-flowering and in bloom all summer and 

 fall. 20 cts. each; $2.00 per doz. ; $12.00 per 100. 



SHRUBBY CEEMATIS 



This type of Clematis is deserving of the greatest popularity. They form erect 

 bushes 2 to 3 feet high. During their long period of bloom they are very attractive. 

 Davidiana. A most desirable variety, with fresh, bright green foliage and tubular 



bell-shaped flowers of deep lavender blue during August and September; deli- 



ciously fragrant. 20 cts. each; $2.00. per doz. 

 Heraclesefolia. Of the same general habit as above, but 



with lighter colored flowers. 25 cts. each; $2.50 per doz. 

 Recta. One of the best hardy perennials, with handsome pure 



white flowers in very large showy clusters during June and July; 



very effective. 25 cts. each; $2.50 per doz. 



Recta Flore Pleno. Identical to the beautiful single-flower- 

 ing type, except that the flowers are double and larger. We 

 consider this one of the most desirable perennials in our collec- 

 tion, and although introduced more than ten years ago, this 

 plant is seldom offered for sale, owing to its being difficult to 

 propagate. We offer strong plants at 50 cts. each. 

 One each of the 4 sorts for $1.00. 



COREOPSIS 



Lanceolata grandiflora. One of the most popular hardy plants. The flowers 

 are a rich golden-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; 2 to 3 feet. 20 cts. each; $2.00 per doz.; 

 $12.00 per 100.
