DREER'S SELECT 



HARDY PERENNIAL PLANTS 



Achillea Ptakmica "The Pearl" 



THE popularity of these Old Fashioned Hardy Garden Flowers 

 is not at all surprising when we consider the many varied and 

 pleasing changes which take place throughout the growing 

 season in a well arranged hardy border, in which every week, yes, 

 almost every day, brings forth something fresh and new. 



We list in this Catalogue only such sorts which can be set out in 

 the autumn. For a complete list of varieties, see our Annual Gar- 

 den Book issued early in January.

 tion, in good, strong roots, that will, with little care, keep the garden 

 gay with flowers from the time frost leaves the ground until late in
