HARDY PERENNIAL PLANTS 



For many years Hardy Perennials have been one of our principal specialties and our stock at the present lime is unquestionably the 

 most complete both in quantity and variety in the country. 



Many planters not thorouehly familiar with this class of plants have an idea that nothing but a laree, field-erown clump will uive 

 satisfactory returns the first season. This, as experience has taught us, is in most instances a mistake. A visjorous plant of proper size 

 will, in nearly every ease, (rive quicker and better returns than the best so-called "field-clumps" that can be procured. This fact is 

 particularly appreciated by the leading Landscape Architects throughout the country who use Perennials in large ciuantity, the majority 

 of whom give preference to the Dreer pot-grown plants. It will be noticed that the majority of the stock offered in this list is described as 

 being 3, 4 or 5-inch pots. This does not necessarily mean that the plants have been altogether pot-grown, but that they have been field- 

 grown and dug and potted up during the Fall and early Winter months, and such stock can be planted, even late in the Spring, with 

 practically no loss, which, in the case of clumps, is often quite serious.
