DREER'S GARDEN 



CHRYSANTHEMUMS

 considering their many good qualities, there is no cause for sur- 

 prise to see them cultivated so extensively. They produce a 

 lavish profusion of blooms, giving color, life and beauty to the 

 garden just at a time when other plants have been destroyed by 

 frost and are looking their worst. They are quite hardy if

 leaves or litter during the winter, usually take care of themselves.
