NOW is the time, more than ever before, for home 

 gardeners who desire beautiful spring flower 

 gardens to buy their bulbs and plants from Dreer — 

 the house whose reputation for quality products has 

 been unexcelled for over 100 years. 



At no other time in our long experience have the 

 world's upset conditions interfered so drastically with 

 the supply of quality bulbs. Anticipating these con- 

 ditions and realizing that it is almost impossible for 

 the average home gardener to distinguish in advance 

 the best quality bulbs from inferior grades, all the 

 facilities, experience, and ability of the vast Dreer 

 organization have been marshalled to provide only 

 products worthy of the name Dreer. This has been 

 done to keep faith with the many thousands of flower 

 growers throughout the country. 



This difficult task has been accomplished through 

 the untiring efforts of our experts and their determina- 

 tion to merit the continued confidence of our cus- 

 tomers, and by their unswerving devotion to the 

 policy of offering only the finest quality bulbs which 

 Nature and human skill can produce. 



Therefore, we announce with pride, the bulbs and 

 plants described in this book are not only worthy of 

 the name Dreer but are also attractively and reason- 

 ably priced. They can be planted with confidence 

 because of their excellence.

^Why "OF EXCELLENCE 



Dreer Bulbs are excellent because our experts 

 carefully select only those bulbs endowed by 

 Nature with strong vitality. The vital strength of 

 these bulbs has been assured by ideal growing con- 

 ditions — soil, climate, and expert cultivation. It is 

 preserved by minute care in digging and cleaning; 

 by storing and curing under temperature and 

 humidity control; and finally by packing and ship- 

 ping with similar care, so that they arrive in our 

 customers hands with all their natural strength and 

 vitality assured for glorious blooming.
