varieties of flowers and vegetables as well as the 
season's best novelties.

Improved Hardy Perennials are given special prom- 
inence. 
It features a number of noteworthy specialties in 
Vegetables, Sweet Peas, Asters and Phlox. What- 
ever is worth growing you will find in Dreer's Garden 
Book for 1916, with full instructions how to grow it.

I TWO NEW MUMS | 
FOR THE BACK ROW 
| Artista. — This we believe is the largest Exhibition variety 
we have ever raised and doubt if it will be surpassed by 
any now grown, not excepting fm. Turner, Odessa, etc. 
Outer petals grooved or channeled, reflex, while the cen- 
ter ones incurve irregularly, giving a very artistic ap- 
pearance to the bloom. Dwarf habit, will not attain 
over 5 ft. from February propagation. White with a 
slightly creamy tint in the depths. Best bud August 
20th, maturing the last days of October. All exhibition 
growers are bound to accept this as one of the best. 
Ogontz. — A seedling from Nakota which it greatly resem- 
bles in foliage, and has the same whirling arrangement 
of petals, with size equal to its parent. The petals are 
decidedly grooved or channeled. Color, light primrose, 
height 6 ft. Would not advise a bud earlier than 
August 30th as the blooms are double from those se- 
lected in September. Practically the same as Nakota ex- 
cept color, maturing first week of November. May also 
be advantageously grown as a commercial maturing No- 
vember 20th from buds taken September 20th and after. 
Price.— $1.50 each; S12.50 per ten; $100.00 per hundred. 
Delivery on or before Februarv 1st, 1916. Not less than 
5 plants of a variety at ten and 25 at hundred rate.
