Dreer's Reliable Flower 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 1924. The list also in- 

 cludes a choice selection of other Flower Seeds for summer sowing, such as Cin- 

 erarias, Cyclamens, Pansies, Primulas, etc. 



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

 er 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. 



We will pleased to send our customers on request a leaflet on How to Grow 

 Perennials from Seed, written expressly for us by Wm. Falconer, of Pittsburgh. 



For the convenience of our customers, and to facilitate the filling of orders, it is 

 only necessary in ordering to give the number of packets wanted and the correspond- 

 ing number in the Catalogue.

ADLUMIA 



(Mouritain Fringe, Allegheny Vine, or Climbing Fumitory) 



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

 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
