DREER'S SELECT 



HARDY PERENNIAL PLANTS 



THE popularity of these Old Fashioned Hardy Garden Flowers is not at all surprising when we 

 consider the many varied and pleasing changes which takes place throughout the growing season 

 in a well arranged hardy border, in which every week, yes, almost every day, brings forth something 

 fresh and new. 



We list in this Catalogue only such sorts which can be set out in the autumn. For a complete 

 list of varieties, see our Annual Garden Book issued early in January.
