DREER'S CHOICE GARDEN CHRYSANTHEMUMS 



1 



These are universally 

 popular for outdoor bed- 

 BK ding, and considering 

 f.;'\ their many good quali- 

 Wtm ties, there is no cause for 

 ■M surprise to see them culti- 

 BH vated so extensively. They 

 HE produce a lavish pro- 

 HH fusion of blooms, giving 

 color, life and beauty to 

 garden just at a time when other 

 plants have been destroyed by frost 

 % and are looking their worst. Frost 



does not materially affect the flower- 



■ - - 1 in-, and it frequently happens that an 



armful of flowers can be cut late in November. 

 They are reasonably hardy if planted in a well- 

 drained position, with a covering of leaves or loose 

 litter during the winter, or may be carried over 

 with perfect safety in a cold frame. 



Our collection embraces the varieties most 

 suitable for outdoor use, having been selected particularly 

 for their earliness and free flowering character. 



For the convenience of our customers, we have arranged 

 the collection into seven different classifications, in which 

 we have assembled the various types under their respective 

 • characteristics excepting in the case of the second sea 

 which was illustrated in colors in our 1931 Garden Book, and which em- 

 braces selections from several classes.
