Dreer's Hardy Garden Chrysaiitheiiiums-Con/^mwed 



Korean Hybrid 

 Chrysanthemums 



Korean Hybrid Chrj-santhemums, first offered a few years ago, 

 enhanced the attractiveness of this class of plants by adding 

 greater hardiness and much grace to the assortments previously 

 in commerce. 



Since their first introduction there have been many improve- 

 ments and variations, all worthwhile. We recommend this type 

 heartily with full confidence in their giving you much useful 

 service.
