Plant Department 



Garden, Greenhouse, and Decorative Plants 



The I>reer plant department is a very important and extensive division of 

 our business. We doubt that there is any other commercial grower in this 

 country who produces so many different species and varieties for florists' use. 

 Those who have visited our greenhouses at Riverton, N. J., or have bought 

 plants from Dreer, know well the quality of the stock we supply. May we 

 extend to you and your associates a cordial invitation to take the first oppor- 

 tunity to visit our Riverton establishment in order to see for yourself the 

 beautiful stock of plants offered on these pages. Tou will find a visit to the 

 Riverton greenhouses not only most enjoyable but also highly educational. 

 Besides the greenhouses, however, there are many other features that will 

 interest the commercial florist. No matter what time of the year you come 

 there always are many things worth while seeing.

 will be supplied at the "each" rate.
