HARDY FERENNIAL PLANTS 
For many years Hardy Perennials hav e been one of our principal specialties and our stock at the present time is unquestionably;the ithe 
most complete both in quantity and variety in the country. = 
Many planters not thoroughly familiar with this class of plants have an idea that nothing but a large, field-grown clump willzgive 
satisfactory returns the first season. This, as experience has taught us, is in most instances a mistake. A vigorous plant of proper size 
will, in nearly every case, give quicker and better returns than the best so-called ‘‘field-clumps” that can be procured. This fact is 
particularly appreciated by the leading Landscape Architects throughout the country who use Perennials in large quantity, the majority 
of whom give preference to the Dreer pot-grown plants. It will be noticed that the majority of the stock offered in this list is described as 
being 3, 4 or 5-inch pots. This does not necessarily mean that the plants have been altogether pot-grown, but that they have been field- 
grown and dug and potted up during the Fall and early Winter months, and such stock can be planted, even late in the Spring, with 
practically no loss, which, in the case of clumps, is often quite serious. 
Anemone Japonica (Japanese Windflower). 
The varieties of Anemone Japonica are most valuable for cutting 
during the autumn months. 
The stock which we are supplying is all in a growing condition in 
3-inch pots, and has not been injured by freezing; it is in shape to 
at once produce a strong vigorous growth. Per doz. Per 100
