Dreer's Reliable Flow^er Seeds 



FOR SUMMER SOWING 



On the following pages we give a list of Seeds of the Best Hardy Perennials, which are now so deservedly popular. 

 With little trouble you can have an abundant supply of Columbines, Canterbury Bells, Foxgloves, Gaillardias, Hollyhocks, 

 Larkspurs, Forget-me-nots, Daisies, Sweet Williams, etc., etc., for flowering 

 in 1921. The list also includes a choice selection of other Flower Seeds for 

 summer sowing, such as Cinerarias, Cyclamens, Pansies, Primulas, etc. 



Hardy perennials are easily grown from seed. In many cases they are a 

 little slower than annuals, but with intelligent care they are successfully raised, 

 and from seed is an excellent way to get up a big stock of perennials.

 able cultural hints on

ADI^UIHIA 



(Mountain Fringe, Allegheny Vine, or Climbine Fumitory) 



1051 Cirrhosa. A graceful hardy biennial climber, but as it resows it- 

 self year after year, it might be considered perennial. The feathery 

 foliage closely resembles that of 

 the Maiden-hair Fern. The 

 flowers are tube-shaped, flesh- 

 colored, somewhat like the 

 Bleeding Heart, and completely 

 cover the plant. For covering 

 trellises, stumps of trees, etc., it 

 is very desirable 15
