MERITORIOUS PERENNIAL PLANTS 

 SHRUBS & HARDY VINES 



Perennial Plants, Shrubs, and Vines are indispensable plant material. No garden is 

 complete which does not include its proper share of them. Shrubs and Hardy Vines, 

 because of their size and permanence, determine the garden setting and lend them- 

 selves to an endless variety of arrangements. They link the house and other buildings 

 to the garden creating a picture with graceful curves that hide the abrupt straight 

 lines of building foundations. Climbers mellow the upright lines of fences, porches, 

 garden houses, etc. Properly arranged shrubs and vines will give a complete garden 

 without any other material, excepting the lawn only. Perennials, however, add special 

 interest to such a setting because of the ever changing picture they provide. By 

 choosing them not only for their height and color but for their season of bloom one 

 may have flowers from earliest spring until severe frost puts an end to the garden dis- 

 play. Berried shrubs will add a special lure that lasts well into the winter. 



Since Perennial Plants, Shrubs, and Vines are so important it pays to take special 

 care in planting suitable kinds of unquestionable quality. You will find in Dreer's 

 Garden Book a wide assortment selected because of merit. Our extensive operations 

 as nurserymen give us the opportunity to observe and study the behavior of many 

 oifferent kinds. Only those that have real value are offered. 



Dreer's young vigorous plants of perennials are much superior to old, overgrown, 

 field grown clumps which have seen their best days and find it difficult to recuperate 

 from the effects of transplanting. In the case of shrubs we furnish these in sizes best 

 suited to transplanting. They too are full of vigor and eager to take hold of the soil 

 in their new surroundings. We state in the catalog the size of the plants when shipped 

 besides indicating the final average height. 



The Magnificent Silver Lace Vine 



An alluring hardy vine growing to a height of 25 feet. Bears great masses of 

 foamy white flower sprays during the fall and often it also blooms in a limited way 

 earlier in the season. Strong plants 60c each; $6.00 per doz.

A glorious new shrub bearing 

 throughout the late summer and 

 autumn elegant longsprayscovered 

 with lovely lavender-pink blooms 

 which compared with other Budd- 

 leias are distinctly pink. For Sep- 

 tember and October flowers we 

 suggest pinching off the first flower 

 spikes in July to aid the develop- 

 ment of side branches which will 

 flower during the autumn months.
