Dreer's Hardy Garden Chrysanthemums 



The World's Best Collection 



Gorgeous autumn-blooming plants producing a lavish profusion of colorful flowers just at a time when 

 other plants are beginning to fail. They are reasonably hardy if planted in a well-drained soil and cov- 

 ered with leaves or loose litter during the winter. We offe' strong young plants. 



For a quarter of a century we have been selecting and producing new varieties of Chrysanthemums, 

 constantly endeavoring to increase their desirability and usefulness for garden display. 



As newer, better, and hardier varieties appear we are obliged to discard the older ones. You may rest 

 assured that the new ones selected m the same colors have qualities of superiority justifying their trial and 

 adoption by you.

Twelve Extra-Early

While all the varieties offered by us are early flowering, the 

 following twelve splendid, double, large flowered varieties bloom 

 from one to two weeks earlier than the general collection. This 

 feature is of course a very desirable trait as where the seasons are 

 short one can depend upon an abundant display before frost. In 

 other sections where killing frost comes later these extra-early 

 kinds are valuable because they start the bloom.ing season con- 

 siderably earlier.

 bloom during the heat, we advise keeping the plant pruned

 flowering light rose. Should be kept pruned back until early
