Tliose of our florist friends who have visited the 

 Dreer Nurseries at Riverton, New Jersey, are well 

 aware of the extensiveness and the completeness of 

 that establishment. We always are glad to see them 

 come again and again during the various seasons of 

 the year because always there is something worth- 

 while, be it Houseplants, Perennials, Annuals, Roses, 

 Chrysanthemums. Dahlias, etc. 



We hope that those who so far have not paid us a 

 visit will do so soon and we believe that once they 

 have become acquainted with the Nurseries they will 

 make it a point to come at regular intervals.
