Dreer's Reliable Hower Seeds 



FOR AUTUMN SOWING 



On the following pages we give a list of Seeds of the Best Hardy Perennials, which are now so deservedly popular. With little- 

 trouble you can have an abundant supply of Columbines, Canterbury Bells, Foxgloves, GaUIardias, Hollyhocks, Larkspurs, Forget-me- 

 nots, Daisies, Sweet Williams, etc., etc., for flowering in 1928. The list also includes a choice selection of other Flower Seeds for 

 autumn sowing, such as Cinerarias, Cyclamens, Pansies, Primulas, etc. 



Hardy perennials are easily grown from seed. In many cases they are a little 

 slower than annuals, but with intelligent care they are successfully raised, and 

 from seed is an excellent way to get up a big stock of perennials. 



We will be pleased to send our customers on request a leaflet on How to Grow 

 Perennials from Seed, written expressly for us by Wm. Falconer, of Pitts- 

 burgh. 



For the convenience of our customers, and to facilitate the filling of orders, it
