Dreer's Reliable Flower 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 Cclumbines, Canterbury Bells, Foxgloves, Gaillardias, Hollyhocks, Larkspurs, Forget-me- 

 nots, Daisies, Sweet Williams, etc., etc., for flowering in 1925. The list also 

 includes a choice selection of other Flower Seeds for present 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 plea=ed to send our customers on request a leaflet- on How to 

 Grow Perennials from Seed, written expressly for us by Wm. Falconer, 

 of Pittsburgh. 



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

 corresponding number in the Catalogue.
