Dreer's Select 



Hardy Perennial Plants 



fo r Fall Planting 



The popularity of these old-fashioned 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
