Dreer's Choice Garden Chrysanthemums 



These are universally popular for outdoor bedding, and considering tlieir many good 

 qualities there is no cause for surprise to see them cultivated so extensively. 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 their flowering and it frequently happens that armfuls 

 of blooms can be cut late in November. They are reasonably hardy if planted in a well 

 drained position and covered with leaves or loose litter during the winter. Or they may 

 be carried over with perfect safety in a cold frame. 



Wonderful improvements have been made in Garden Chrysanthemums during the 

 past 20 years. The blooming period has been advanced so we have varieties that begin 

 flowering in September. All of the sorts offered by us come into perfection before the end 

 of October. Colors also have been enhanced and we now have them ranging from pure 

 white through pink, yellow, and red, to deep purple and bronze.
