Hardy 
Chrysanthemums 
are the best late fall flowers; so resistant to 
frost and chilling winds are they that the 
first, light snows frequently fail to dim their 
glory. Their brilliant, showy flowers make 
the November garden one of great beauty, 
when all the other flowers are gone. 
Spring set plants will make strong sum¬ 
mer growth and give a profusion of bloom 
next fall; greater first-year returns than 
from any other perennial.

Better Gardens 
Soil, season, and sunshine are 
essentials, but by far the greatest 
factor in the garden is the seeds, 
bulbs, and plants you entrust to 
the soil. 
For 86 years the House of 
Dreer has been governed by but 
one motive: to supply the 
choicest seeds, plants, and bulbs 
that human ability can pro¬ 
duce. America and Europe alike 
contribute to make Dreer’s a vast supply house of horti¬ 
cultural merchandise and the index to it we offer in 
Dreer’s Garden Book 
We have endeavored to make this book a true represen¬ 
tative of our business. Experienced gardeners through¬ 
out the country have helped us make the cultural 
directions practical and readable. 
Its 224 pages contain perhaps more practical 
garden lore than that found in many an expensive 
garden book. It matters little whether you are 
interested in vegetables, annuals, or perennials 
from seeds, choice Dahlias, Gladioli, or Cannas, 
flowers, or house plants, you will find them all listed 
and offered in such a way as to make it easily 
possible for you to determine just what kind 
of a garden you want and may have. 
This freely illustrated book, with hundreds of 
photographic reproductions, besides eight full pages 
in colors, is gladly mailed free. Please write for 
your copy to-day, mentioning this publication.
