Dreer's Hardy 



Garden Chrysanthemums 



The World's Best Collection 



Even as few as a dozen plants of these Hardy Garden Chrysanthemums will provide 

 during the late fall 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 

 covered with leaves or loose litter during the winter. Our list includes all the worth- 

 while varieties for garden planting and as newer, better, and hardier varieties appear 

 we are obliged to discard older ones that have been superseded by these. We offer 

 strong young plants.
