HENRY A. DREER, PHILADELPHIA— HARDY PERENNIAL PLANTS 



17 



HAROY POMPON CHRYSANTHEMUMS. 



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

 many good qualities, there is no cause for surprise to see ihem cultivated so exten- 

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

 to the garden just at a time when other plants have been destroyed 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 

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



We offer two distinct sets, the small or so-called " Button" varieties, the 

 other the larger- flowering or "Aster" flowered type.
