PRIDE OF SAN FRANCISCO 
Dreer’s DAHLIAS 
Taking stock of the trend of the time, we 
have gradually acquired a most complete collec¬ 
tion of the choicer Dahlias. Every one of the 
over 250 varieties offered in Dreer’s Garden Book 
has been critically tested and proved worthy of 
all we say in its favor. Dahlia connoisseurs 
will be interested in the sensational Novelty for 
1924— 
Pride of San Francisco 
A Beautiful Bedding Decorative 
Visitors to our trial grounds last fall invariably 
became extremely enthusiastic about this superb 
creation. One single plant, with its dozen or more 
magnificent flowers open at one time, constitutes a 
rare sight. The color is a composition of soft sal¬ 
mon pink, suffused with soft rose, the total effect 
being a delightful golden salmon pink, as brilliant 
in the sun as under artificial light. 
The plant forms a sturdy, upright bush of com¬ 
pact habit, about four feet tall, requiring no stak¬ 
ing. The flowers are borne on stiff stems of good 
length and, without disbudding, will average 6 to 7 
inches in diameter. Further description and full 
color illustration of this outstanding novelty will 
be found on page 144 of the Dreer Garden Book. 
We offer strong, vigorous pot plants of Pride of San 
Francisco at $2.50 each. Delivery about May 15th. 
We suggest early orders, however, for the present 
supply is limited. 
Dreer’s Garden Book 
abounds with special offers of the choicest Dahlias, the most 
superb Gladioli, the aristocrats among Roses, Old-fashioned 
hardy plants and plants for the Home. Eighty-six years of 
faithful service in supplying materials for the making of 
greater gardens has won us an enviable following among the 
country’s most exacting home gardeners. We solicit the priv¬ 
ilege of serving you as well. Please write for catalogue and 
mention this publication.
