Dreer Quality 



Hardy Perennial Plants 



Specially Selected for Fall Planting 



The popularity of these magnificent hardy garden flowers is not at all surprising when one con- 

 siders the many varied and pleasing changes which take place in a well-arranged hardy border through- 

 out the growing season. Every week, yes, almost every day brings forth something fresh and new. 

 Many of them are ideal for rock gardens and these have been marked in our list A ; ® = Suited to 

 Semi-Shade; % = Suited to Shade. Our list as given in this Autumn Catalog contains only those 

 suited to fall planting.
