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 clianges 

 which take 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.
